Five-Year Anniversary for Portland Food Map

Today marks the 5-year anniversary of the launch of Portland Food Map.

I think it’s fair to say that had you told me then that I was headed down the path to running a daily news site for the Portland food community that would be read by thousands of people I would have thought you were crazy. But that’s exactly what’s happened and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out, and as long as there continues to be an interest and an audience for PFM, I expect I’ll still be at it when 2017 rolls around.

I owe a a big thanks to all of you for showing such support for the site over the years, and to the restaurant and food community for building such a fascinating industry for me to obsessively focus my attention on.

  1. That’s awesome. Congratulations!

    I check PFM every morning for my food news and every time I’m going out to eat! I always tell any of my friends who are visiting from away to check it out before they come. Its a great resource to find a place to eat in a city where one can be overwhelmed by the choices!

    Thanks for all your efforts!
