Bullard, ‘Top Chef’ finalist Doug Adams’ Texas-inspired Portland restaurant, opens Saturday - OregonLive.com

Jennifer Quist are finally opening in downtown Portland this Saturday.The five-foot-nothing chef, who spent time studying, fishing and playing bluegrass music in Montana, found his real voice cooking in Portland, first rising through the ranks at his mentor Vitaly Paley’s restaurants, then watching his career take off after a top three finish on season 12 of Bravo TV’s “Top Chef."Bullard the restaurant has come a long way too. First announced more than two years ago, Adams’ and Quist’s passion project has been among Portland’s most highly anticipated restaurants ever since, even as delays at the surrounding Woodlark hotel pushed the restaurant’s opening back by more than a year.But now the brown leather booths are in place. The whiskey is arranged behind the bar. The hearth fire is burning in the open kitchen. And the fictional flag of Bullard -- a custom cross between the flags of Texas and Oregon, complete with Texas longhorns pulling a covered wagon -- is hanging on the wall.As first reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive way back in September 2016, Bullard is meant to reflect both Adams’ Texas upbringing and his current Oregon home.

Put names on the faces of the state's flowers

To know the name of a plant, a bird, even a person, is to give it added value. You'll appreciate Montana flowers more if you know their names, from the dainty flax along River's Edge Trail to the elusive fairy slippers of the forest to the dramatic bear grass of alpine meadows. A new guide can help you on your way to becoming a wildflower expert, or at least satisfy your curiosity about the fetching flowers you encounter. "Wondering about Wildflowers," a new book by Sharon Huff, Stephen Love and Sharron Akers features over 490 different plants and over 1,400 color photographs from the Northern Rocky Mountains. The flowers are sorted by color, with pages trimmed in the blossom color. The guide has at least one photo but often several photos of a given flower, with a description, common and scientific name, a timeline on when it blooms and what kind of landscape one would find the flower. Take prairie smoke, or old man's whiskers, or geum triflorum. A member of the rose family, it has hairy, feathery leaves, nodding bell-shaped pink to rose-maroon flowers with five petals on long stalks. It's found in meadows, in forests and on sagebrush plains. https://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/outdoors/2018/07/17/put-names-faces-montana-flowers-new-guidebook-wondering-wildflowers-stephen-love-sharon-huff-akers/792122002/
