Happy Birthday James Beard!
In honor of Mr. Beard’s birthday, Kim Carlson of Culinate asked a few Portlanders about how he influenced them.
Lisa Donoughe admires Beard for being an “accidental influencer”.
“So few people fail at their dream — in his case, to be an opera singer — and then wind up having a legacy that transforms a culture. It’s so incredible to me that he never set out to have the career he had, it just happened as a default and then he ran with it. What an inspiration!”
