ARTWORK VIA www.travelportlandnow.com

Even as Bonanza-centric as we get at this time of the year, we always remember when it’s time to eat! We asked old Bonanza pal Jill Hinson, now a PDX local, to share her go-to list for food, drinks and fun in Portland and Vancouver to jumpstart your non-JB hours!

Here’s her report!
