This week’s “Top Chef” Portland episode brought the remaining 10 chefs back from the temporary drive-in to again focus on foods and culture native to the Northwest. The title of Season 18′s Episode 6, “Stumptown U.S.A.,” refers to a nickname for Portland. And the elimination challenge was both inspiring and illuminating, as the chefs traveled to a beautiful location in Cascade Locks to learn about foods sacred to members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
