Let’s face it, we take brunch in Portland VERY seriously. We are a city full of people that do not hesitate to stand in line for two hours for the best fried chicken & waffles in town. We are also a city full of obnoxious food snobs that do not think it’s insane to pay $15 for […]
This year marked my third year attending Feast Portland — and what a crazy weekend it was! With 134 chefs, 31 wineries, 15 breweries, 11 artisans, and 12 distilleries featured, I was a very full (and admittedly buzzed) gal for four straight days.

The 2015 festival was my first Feast experience, and this year was even better and more indulgent than last year (hard to believe). As a recap, Feast takes over the city each September for 4 legendary days and showcases […]
