It’s truly an honor to be a part of Feast Portland.  I feel blessed that Little Green Pickle invited me to be a part of the photography team. (Thank you!) I am surrounded by amazing chefs, restaurant teams, wineries, breweries, distilleries, bloggers, writers, photographers and friends. This is my first year attending Feast and I plan to make the most out of it- camera in toe.

First up: Widmer Sandwich Invitational.  I. love. sandwiches.  B.L.T’s are my favorite meal, a good gyro will make me happy and who doesn’t love a PB&J from time to time?  (At least when you’re on a hike!)  So needless to say this invitational was right up my ally.  Throw in some good wine, beer and gin and you’ve got a party!  I was going to list all the wonderful chefs, wineries and sponsors  but I think it would be easier to send you to this link.

There was two sandwich contests.  Imperial won the People’s Choice Award with this creation: Soy Braised Pork Belly Fry Bread Taco, Spicy Mayo Banh Mi Pickles, Fresno Peppers, Cilantro.  The Sandwich Invitational Champion when to Departure for their BBQ Pork Crepe.  I also enjoyed Levant’s lamb gyro. Yes, it made me happy.
