Morchella

Day 4: 5-Course Forage-to-Fork Tasting Series

Just a year old, this Modern American eatery with a focus on wild and foraged ingredients (indeed, it's named for a wild mushroom found in the Beaver State) vaulted onto Bon Appétit's 2022 "50 Best New Restaurants in the US" list, Thrillist's 2021 "Best New Restaurants in Portland" list, and The Oregonian's list of "12 New Portland Restaurants We Can't Wait to Try." Chef Cameron Dunlap grew up in Georgia and moved to the City of Roses in the mid-1990s, attending culinary school at the Art Institute of Portland. He served as Executive Chef at The Fireside and 23Hoyt before launching the "Origin Wild Pop-Up." That grew into Morchella, where he is now serving up dishes like duck breast with celery root, turnip, and fermented dandelion greens, local sturgeon with herbed buttermilk, black barley and cippolini onions, and elk consommé. We're so looking forward to our visit here and to hearing from Chef Dunlop about the joys of foraging and using elements like wood sorrel, wild sumac, elderberries, and so many mushrooms in his cooking.
