Exploregonians
33. Beaverton, Oregon
Katie and Jordan venture into the Portland-Metro by exploring Oregon's sixth-largest city -- and one-time hopeful to be second-largest -- Beaverton!
Katie talks about how the city's modern multi-cultural identity helped introduce her to different cultures and cuisines at a young age and talks about the now-shuttered Beaverton Bakery and Jordan wonders if it was a "Ratatouille" situation.
The city is home to one of New York Times top pizzerias in the U.S. and the duo talk about the pies they've enjoyed there and Jordan throws shade at a completely different pizzeria which gave him a spiritual awakening.
Jordan and Katie discuss the wonky shape of Beaverton's city boundaries and how you can drive on the same street for miles and seemingly hit seven or eight different "Welcome to Beaverton" signs.
