Early life and education Sarah Minnick was born in Spokane, Washington and her family moved to Portland when she was four or five. She recalls seeing her father going off to work every day in a suit and tie and knowing she did not want that. Sarah attended the Rhode Island School of Design and majored in Fine Arts, graduating with a degree in Painting. She was offered a work-study job while in school, the only one that interested her was working in the on campus student cafe. She found the job offered a lot of freedom and was enthusiastic about it.

Oregon
Oregon () is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the Western United States. The Columbia River delineates much of Oregon's northern boundary with Washington, while the Snake River delineates much of its eastern boundary with Idaho. The 42° north parallel delineates the southern boundary with California and Nevada. Oregon has been home to many indigenous nations for thousands of years. The first European traders, explorers, and settlers began exploring what is now Oregon's Pacific coast in the early-mid 16th century. As early as 1564, the Spanish began sending vessels northeast from the Philippines, riding the Kuroshio Current in a sweeping circular route across the northern part of the Pacific. In 1592, Juan de Fuca undertook detailed mapping and studies of ocean currents in the Pacific Northwest, including the Oregon coast as well as the strait now bearing his name. Spanish ships – 250 in as many years – would typically not land before reaching Cape M ...

Pizza In Portland, Oregon
The American city of Portland, Oregon has been recognized for its pizza culture and establishments. Culture The '' Portland Mercury'' hosts Pizza Week annually. In 2021, '' Eater Portland'' Alex Frane said Portland underwent a pizzeria "boom" in 2020. He described Portland as "a city bursting with pizza shops new and old" that "seems to have no sign of slowing down", with an "ever-growing roster of new pizza shops". The website's Brooke Jackson-Glidden wrote, "Portland is not a city with hundreds of slice shops; in fact, slice culture has barely survived the pandemic in Portland. Trying to define the city's specific style of pizza would be difficult, outside of thick, multi-grain crusts piled with seasonal vegetables — and still, some of the city's finest pizzerias don't make pies anywhere near that form." She said of comparisons between Portland and other cities: "So, yeah, our pizza is good. If you live in Portland, you probably know that; then again, if you moved here from M ...
