RESTAURANT REVIEW

In 1984, Greg Higgins launched Portland's regional cuisine movement by bringing local and sustainable cuisine to Portland's Heathman Hotel. Ten years later he opened Higgins, and ever since he has been serving dishes like baked oysters with nettle pesto, a salad of Oregon Bay shrimp or a Tuscan "whole pig" plate that includes fennel sausage, braised belly, ribs and crepinette served with a cranberry bean stew. Though it is not as well-known as some of the city's other restaurants, knowledgeable locals call it "a must for those who want a primer on the cooking of the Pacific Northwest."
