Author: Summer Stone

Summer Stone grew up in the Willamette Valley, where vineyards, farmers markets, and neighborhood breweries were just part of the scenery — and she wouldn't have it any other way. After studying journalism with a focus on food culture, she spent time writing for regional publications before landing at Willamette Weekly, where she covers the Oregon culinary and beverage scene with genuine enthusiasm. Her reviews are honest without being cruel and thorough without being exhausting. Off the clock she's an unapologetic sourdough obsessive and will talk fermentation longer than most people would like.
