"I learned that Jason French of Ned Ludd has been eyeing the back door of the restaurant industry for a few years and launched a coaching business; his restaurant has been on hiatus after offering takeout in 2020, he watched longtime employees leave the industry, has relied on catering gigs, and said the pandemic revealed how fragile the restaurant business was and how difficult it can be to make a living in it." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"The Pacific Northwest standby is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, offering everything from raw oysters to roasted trout with limited indoor seating and most tables outside." - Alex Frane
"I read that Ned Ludd will open “Ned Ludd Larder” on May 21 offering a selection of pickles, sourdough starter, house charcuterie, and Briar Rose cheeses." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"I note that the rustic and cozy Ned Luddis — normally closed for breakfast and lunch — will offer a special three-course Easter brunch with choice-driven courses including savory entrees such as biscuits and mushroom gravy with a soft‑boiled egg and house-made andouille sausage or an asparagus and charred leek quiche with frisée salad, plus starters, desserts, sides like house-cured ham or roasted asparagus, and brunch cocktail specials; brunch is $33." - Alex Frane
"I characterize Ned Ludd as a polished-yet-rustic Northwestern restaurant in Northeast Portland, and it will be closed on July 4." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
