About this episode
When you think of a classic diner, what comes to mind: A counter? Cozy booths? Never-ending coffee refills? This month Eater Portland wrestled with this very concept of what even constitutes a Portland diner in a city that’s had more diner closures this past few years than ever before. So today on the show, host Claudia Meza talks with Brooke Jackson-Glidden , editor of Eater Portland (and recent James Beard award-winner), about her picks for that true diner experience. Diners mentioned on the show: Stepping Stone Cafe Nite Hawk Slim’s My Father’s Place Banning’s Fuller’s Coffee Shop Cameo Café East This has nothing to do with diners, but c’mon: Steamed Hams by Bill Oakley Who would you like to hear on City Cast Portland?
