¡OBA! Restaurante – Portland
In addition to his 
duties at the restaurant, Chef Scott Neuman has hosted a radio show, “Dining Out in the Northwest,” for more than eight years. Oba was called “the best place to eat while in Portland” by The New York Times and chosen as “Restaurant of the Year” by Willamette Week. Oba serves Nuevo Latino cuisine – “the kind of comfort food you’d find on a sultry Cuban plantation in the 1950s, or in a spacious South American hacienda today,” as Neuman says – and is strongly committed to using sustainable, natural, organic and regional products whenever possible.
