PORTLAND FEAST 2016: A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL
2016 marked a very special year in the history of Feast Portland. It was the fifth year of this annual event. Every year it keeps getting bigger and better. Headed up by the dynamic duo of Carrie Welch and Mike Thelin, the festival hosts a variety of incredible events, dinners, and chefs. Feast is more than food - it's community, sharing ideas, and most of all proceeds benefit Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon.
Jacobsen Salt Co. hosted the Opening Party featuring the musical stylings of Portugal The Man, with food provided by Chef Doug Adams, Mei Lin, Joshua McFadden, Matthew Jennings, Scott Bard, and Michael Selfo. Partners included Williams-Sonoma, Union Wine, 6 Point Brewery, Fieldwork Flowers, Traeger, Poler, World Foods, and Enzo Olive Oil.
The Oregon Grand Bounty tasting was a two day marathon of tastings from some of the best artisans Oregon has to offer. We were pleased to have Mei Lin, Gregory Gourdet, and Earl Ninsom serving up some incredible dishes at our table.
The last event was the Feast Night Market. Traditionally one of the busiest Feast events this one did not disappoint. We served Oregon Elote and Tijuana Thunder to the hungry masses.
We hope you enjoy the photos and see you again next year!
