Restaurant PR in Portland, OR
Portland's food scene is independent, inventive, and deeply local. Its food media reflects those values. ChowPR pitches your restaurant to the writers who actually shape Portland's dining culture.
The Portland Food Media Landscape
Portland occupies a unique position in American food culture — small enough to feel intimate, creative enough to set national trends. The Oregonian's food section has deep community credibility. Eater Portland covers the city with enthusiasm. Portland Monthly and the Mercury capture the city's progressive food identity. And the food cart culture means media is receptive to concepts at every price point.
