  • Andi has covered the dynamic food scene in Portland, Ore. for more than half a decade.
  • She has interviewed the top brewers in the state and used to homebrew herself (until she discovered that the sanitization process was too tedious and ordering a beer made by someone else is much more enjoyable).
  • Andi enjoys writing about a wide variety of topics when it comes to food and drink, which has included everything from a roundup of Portland's oldest dive bars to hunting down and describing the city's best heirloom tomato dishes that make a brief appearance in late summer.
