In 2018, the Portland Mercury described Edelweiss as a "wünder-land of weird and delicious-looking things, from candies with unpronounceable names to mayonnaise that comes out of a toothpaste tube" with a "wraparound deli with all kinds of meats stacked high". [3]

History

In 2013,[ citation needed ] Guy Fieri visited Edelweiss for an episode of the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives . [4]

Reception

In 2015, Willamette Week 's Walker MacMurdo included Edelweiss in his overview of "The Five Best Hams Made in Portland". [5] The newspaper's AP Kryza wrote in 2016, "At this German deli and butcher shop filled with wondrous chocolate, better beer and even better meat, all of second-generation deli masters Tom and Tony Baier's house-cured meats are available in sandwiches so voluminous that they overwhelm their rye bread holders." [6] In 2018, Willamette Week's Pete Cottell included Edelweiss' "obscure" German candy in his 2018 list of "eight must-have munchies for when you're stoned and starving". [1] In 2019, the newspaper said, "Whether you're in need of a lunchtime bratwurst, dinnertime pork chop, or sausages for later, Edelweiss will not disappoint." [7]
