Synopsis
Breakfast in Bridgetown is back for a third time! The definitive guide to Portland's favorite meal now includes well over 150 places to find your morning meal, as well as sections on food carts, downtown hotels, out-of-town favorites, and gluten-free breakfasts.
Paul Gerald, author of the best-selling 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Portland, takes you on a fun and informative tour of Portland and its breakfast spots: where they are, what they're like, how their food is, who eats there, and most importantly, what kind of coffee they serve.
With maps, helpful categories and handy lists, Breakfast in Bridgetown is a tour of Portland's breakfast scene, from mom-and-pop diners to fancy weekend brunches. Keep it handy in your car or just read it for fun. Either way, we'll see you out at breakfast!
About the Author
Paul's first addiction was travel. Then sports. Then walking around in the mountains. Then food. Put that together and he became a guy who wrote about sports for newspapers, travel for all sorts of people, hiking and camping books, and then an all-breakfast guide to Portland.
He grew up in Memphis, went to school in Texas, worked for some newspapers, freelanced, cooked on fishing boats in Alaska, had many other jobs, and moved to Portland in 1996, mostly there were mountains nearby.
In addition to Breakfast in Bridgetown, which he published as Bacon and Eggs Press, he has also written four books for Keen Communications in Birmingham, Alabama -- people he's never met, by the way. Those titles are 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Portland, Day and Overnight Hikes on Oregon's Pacific Crest Trail, Best in Tent Camping: Oregon, and Peaceful Places: Portland.
