Feast Portland

The premier food and drink festival of the Pacific Northwest. https://feastportland.com/ Oregon's soil produces amazing fruits and vegetables.

Our vineyards grow grapes that make award-winning wines. Our hops are the reason Portland has more breweries than any other city in the world. Our ocean provides sustainably caught salmon, Dungeness crab and tuna. And our beef, pork and chicken are organic and raised to the highest standards. We grow much of the country's hazelnuts, marionberries and green beans. And our forests are home to so man

y exotic mushrooms the Japanese have us on speed dial. Best of all, we have marvelous chefs who know what to do with all this abundance. So we decided it's high time we had our own world-class celebration of food, drink and everything else that makes Portland awesome. We're calling it Feast Portland. At the heart of the festival is a mission to end childhood hunger in Oregon and in our country. A state where food is so plentiful should not also rank as one of the hungriest in the nation. This is part of the three-day dynamic exchange of ideas, inspiration and dialogue that Feast Portland will create with food enthusiasts from Oregon, across the U.S. and around the globe.

Today via Portland Monthly, we shared the news that our festival would not be returning—not in 2023 and not ever again.

For a lot more detail, please read Karen Brooks' article (www.pdxmonthly.com/eat-and-drink/2022/12/feast-portland-food-festival-canceled) plus a statement from Feast (mailchi.mp/feastportland/futureoffeast).

To everyone on Team Feast, our core collaborators, our friends in the chef and restaurant community, our partners and sponsors, vendors and guests, thank you for believing and investing in our vision.

In 2012, we set out to create a culinary festival that was worthy of the city we loved, valuable to the industry we represented, and relevant in the world of food. Feast succeeded on all counts, and looking back, probably ended when it needed to when our last weekend festival wrapped in 2019.

Looking forward, we may have some surprises to share. And for those of you wondering, we have had fun with our new Feast newsletter, and we plan to keep that going. (So don’t unsubscribe yet!)

Love to all.

For this issue, we chatted with our friend Brian McGinn, co-creator & executive producer of Chef's Table, about the Netflix show’s new season, which is all about pizza. We talked about his thoughts on which city has the best pizza, how Chef’s Table came to highlight Portland’s own Lovely’s Fifty Fifty, what restaurants he loved while filming here in Portland, and more.

The issue also features a wonderful overview of the PDX pizza ecosystem by our own Jordan Michelman.
