We Didn’t Start the Fire – World's Worst Food Blogger

WWFB: Hood River Edition

The scene: Hood River, Oregon. It’s August and the Pacific Northwest is literally on fire. It is m’fing hot. You’ve been enjoying the local wine at some cute little wineries, and now it’s time to eat.

As part of our West Coast road trip (Seattle to San Francisco), we stopped in Hood River, where we stumbled upon Kin, a charming little restaurant* run by a charming Czech couple. We really enjoyed everything we ate, and we especially enjoyed the lovely atmosphere and conversation with the owners!

VERDICT: 10/10 Simply lovely.

*UPDATE: Kin was forced out of its lease in 2020 and had to close, but follow their Insta in the hopes they reopen someplace else soon!
