Where to Find a Marvelous Mid-Week Lunch in Portland
"Chef Althea Grey Potter — formerly of Oui Wine Bar — has taken over the kitchen at this charming downtown Portland deli, market, and luncheonette, and it shows. Those familiar with her work know she loves bold and unending layers of flavor, which appears here in dishes like roasted delicata squash salad, tossed in harissa vinaigrette with sunflower seed dukkah, goat cheese, and pomegranate seeds. Other salads from the case range from potato salad with sheep’s milk feta to red quinoa and carrots with dijon-citrus vinaigrette; they’re best paired with the roast chicken served as a part of Taylor Street’s lunch plate. Otherwise, the cacio e pepe chicken salad, bolstered with sundried tomato pesto, is a standout." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
