"Nationally celebrated baker Ken Forkish may have left the state, but his bakery lives on — as do his butter croissants, puffy and crisp with a golden shell. But the croissant isn’t the only laminated pastry on offer: Northwest Portland locals line up for raspberry and passionfruit escargots (croissant dough rolled in the shape of a snail and glazed with the fruit), and chocolate, ham and cheese, and goat cheese and leek croissants. Croissants also support tuna salad with lemon-mint aioli for lunch." - Michelle Lopez
