Thursday Tours: Feast Founders

August 13, 2015Filed in: Events

Hello and happy Thursday! I’m coming ‘atcha today from the absurdly hot Phoenix, AZ. Don’t worry, it’s only a mild 113 today. Eeks. This Oregonian is not cut out for that, thankfully everything here obviously has AC.

In this week’s edition of #ThursdayToursPDX, Meredith and I are bringing you the co-founders of Feast Portland! Feast is one of my all-time favorite weeks of the year. Screw my birthday, just bring me Feast. With some of the best chefs from Portland, around the country and some even as far as Norway coming in for the event, Feast is four days of food, drinks and celebration. Between educational hands-on classes, panel discussions on culinary topics, fancy multi-course dinners, and large marquee events where you can sample all the best cuisine, Feast is seriously a food lover’s heaven.

Thursday Tours: Brunch

July 30, 2015Filed in: Reviews

Ok, I know it is cliche to say but really, brunch is a serious deal here in Portland. While in some cities, getting relegated to brunch service could be a career downer, in this town, it is the perfect opportunity for chefs to highlight their creativity to a welcome crowd. There are a lot of good places to go. It all depends on how long you want to wait and what you’re in the mood for.

Today, we are lucky to have the amazingly talented Marlynn of Urban Bliss Life here to share her brunch favorites. Trust me, this is a good list. I have been drooling over her photos of Levant’s brunch for months and finally went over there. It was as good as expected. Marlynn has a fabulous blog that will inspire you to do some crafting (or at least attempt to, in my case…) and eat something delicious. Plus she has an amazing series called Mixology Mondays, what’s not to like about that?! Continue Reading...

Thursday Tours: Outdoor Eating

Well it definitely seems like summer has been here for quite some time. Thank you, global warming! Now that that heatwave is over, it’s back to outdoor eating instead of hiding wherever there is AC! This edition of #ThursdayToursPDX is all about grabbing that perfect spot in the sunshine for your meal.

The super cute Pechluck!

Pech is here to share her favorites. She seriously seems to be everywhere. I have no idea how she is able to eat out and check out so many restaurants and events as she does. However she does it, she is is a great resource for delicious places to go. She had quite the list so this time around, we are featuring Pech’s favorites on both my blog and Meredith’s. So be sure to head over to Martha Chartreuse for even more recommendations! Continue Reading...
