Mac Makes “Foodiest” List

Excerpts:

"America’s 'foodiest' magazine, Bon Appétit, sent its restaurant editor out across the country to come up with picks for the 'foodiest' cities under 250,000 people. ... The magazine’s October 2010 issue lists Oregon’s own McMinnville as second only to Boulder, Colo., a city with nearly three times the population ... as the best place for all things eating."

"In its comments on McMinnville’s food scene, Bon Appétit paid particular tribute to the International Pinot Noir Celebration, as well as to newcomer Thistle Restaurant."

"Kudos for orchestrating the most upmarket mass feeding anywhere over the past quarter century have certainly been well earned by IPNC. And Thistle chef/co-owner Eric Bechard has quickly become known for his creative talents in the kitchen."
