A bunch of Momofuku alums escaped NYC and headed out to Portland OR. Said Johanna Ware, the chef and owner of Smallwares in Portland: "It's cheaper, it's easier and you can have a life outside of the kitchen... Being able to do your own thing is more of a reality... You can do food carts or small brick and mortars or cheaper concepts. People just look at it as the promised land." [Oregonian][Photo: Avila/Eater PDX]
