Sorry for the tardiness of this post, decided to take a couple 'mental' days.
First off, I should have taken notes, I figured with my mind being a steel trap and all (yeah right, those who know me - know how untrue that is) that I'd be able to remember and recall everything that went down my gullet. I did get pictures so that helps with the memory recall.
Lets just say that everyone involved brought their A game on Monday night. When I mean everyone, from the vendors to the volunteers to the wonderful food peeps in attendance. Not to sound cheesy or nothing but you guys should give yourselves a round of applause - because you truly showed that the food community in Portland is one hell of a class act.
It was nice to be able to put actual faces to twitter handles, or blogs for that matter. To say it was packed, is a giant understatement.
Here are my top three dishes from the event, in no particular order. And I will abstain from putting both of our offerings on the list. Because, you know bias and all.
- Metrovino's Black Pepper Corn Panna Cotta w/ Foie Gras, Burbon Carmel Corn and Blue Berries. (This by the way seemed to be the hit among everyone).
- The Gilt Club's Wild Boar rillette
- Beaker & Flask's Gazpacho with Oregon Bay Shrimp & Smoked Scallop salad.
And now for the photographic evidence, including a nice shot of me and my friend Jen from Daily Blender.
