I’ve heard Feast described as a “choose your own adventure” for food and that’s incredibly accurate. It’s four days consisting of tons of different events across Portland that celebrate what makes this city (and state) such a culinary hot spot! Feast is put on by an incredibly talented team here in Portland and it’s sponsored by Bon Appetit, so it’s really well-done despite only being in it’s third year. And the best part is the money raised goes to hunger charities here in Oregon so everyone wins!
I received a blogger pass to Feast last year, but I had no idea what to expect. This year, I had the privilege of getting a blogger pass again and I was fully prepared for what a treat I was in for! (My blogger pass did give me complimentary entry into multiple Feast events, however, all the thoughts/opinions expressed in my recap posts are 100% my own…and I think that will be evident when you see all the delicious food I got to eat!) I attended a few different events over the course of the weekend, and I thought it would be easier to split it into multiple posts to recap my experience…because let’s face it, I took way too many photos to try to do only one post!
A lot of my friends (like my girls Erin and Rachel) received blogger passes to Feast as well, and we had a great time hanging out all weekend at the various events eating delicious food. Speaking of which, here’s a small sample of some of things I tried at the Oregon Bounty Grand Tasting…



It was definitely a little tough being pregnant at Feast and not being able to indulge in the amazing selection of beer and wine at least I wasn’t the only preggo in attendance! My fellow Portland blogger Erika (left) is also pregnant, so it was fun catching up with her this weekend. Tiara (right) is actually someone who I became friends with in Tahoe and she’s pregnant too. She applied and got a blogger pass, so she and her husband came up from Tahoe for the weekend which was really fun!
