Simpsons Writer Bill Oakley Loves Portland’s Food Scene

Bill Oakley admits:  He loves fast food!   He’s the former head writer on The Simpsons and lives in Portland.  He’s a Food Enthusiast and Influencer, and thinks Portland’s food scene is some of the best in the world. He especially loves the city’s food carts and spends a lot of time reviewing meals on both Facebook and Instagram.  He’s also the founder of the Steamed Ham Society, which came from a bit he wrote on The Simpsons.

He talked to KXL’s Veronica Carter about becoming a foodie and about how much he loves the “eats” here in Portland.  You can listen here
