If you haven't heard, the season three premiere of Portlandia is tonight. It's time to close your laptops early (get outta there!) and get cooking -- we've got the perfect Portlandia-themed dishes to make for tonight, and clips to go alongside. Beef up, or in the spirit of fandom, watch them again. Then name your dinner, grab a few cups of tiny coffee, and enjoy the show. 

Cook like Mrs. Patmore, and eat like Lady Mary.

Tom pens an achingly beautiful letter to one of his culinary heroes, Jacques Pépin.
