Foodlore Library

I'm walking through the rainy streets of downtown Portland in search of an Irish pub.

First Stop

7 O'Clock At Biddy McGraws

Is it a pint of Guinness I’m after? Nope — I don't imbibe. As a food writer, I've sat at many tables with friends and other writers, tables that are bedecked with rich, heady liquors: drinks which I admit, are strangers to me. I never drink. I'm a devout Mormon, a member of a faith who encourages its people to abstain from alcohol. So, as always, I'm pub hopping stone cold sober.
