Now, when you are like me and gorge yourself for 5 days straight, it becomes a little challenging to determine what were the best things you ate. It’s all a food-induced blur (okay, and slightly a wine-induced blur too…). Was it the kafir lime-infused coconut ice cream from Gregory Gourdet? Or perhaps the fried chicken and egg biscuit sandwiches from John Gorham? But what about the late night Hawaiian fest from Irving Street Kitchen? Continue Reading...

After spending the last few days detoxing from all the heavy foods, meats and booze (yes I did select “pause” on my vegetarian status for the weekend to fully embrace the event) and thinking back on all the delicious eats and hysterical memories,  I can officially say it was another fabulous year for Portland’s top food and drink festival.

This year, I am super excited to be attending my favorite Night Market that is getting a Latin American makeover this year, Smoked which got rave reviews as the new event last year, Grand Bounty to try all the Oregon goodies, and the ever-amazing Brunch Village.
