tickets will be available for purchase beginning at 9am PST on Friday, June 8
at www.feastportland.com.
Here’s the Feast Portland schedule so you can be ready!
Bon Appétit Presents Feast Portland
returns for its seventh year, Thursday, September 13 – Sunday, September 16, 2018. The Pacific Northwest’s flagship food
and drink festival and leading national culinary event continues to bring
together legendary and emerging culinary talent at more than 40 inventive
dining experiences.
The 2018 schedule, packed with large-scale main events, more
‘not too big and not too small’ fun-sized events, once-in-a-lifetime dinners,
cutting-edge tasting panels, immersive classes and killer industry parties,
will give guests countless ways to Feast across the four days.
New this year, top chefs will battle for the best decade in
an 80s vs. 90s throwback throwdown to
kick off the weekend. Friday evening’s Night Market introduces a ‘Ring of Fire’ theme covering a breadth of
adventurous food and drink. Seven new Fun-Size events are creatively
designed to be more action-packed than ever before.
Highlights from this
year’s epic chef lineup and schedule include:
● ALL
NEW Thursday night main event, 80s vs. 90s! Twenty of the hottest chefs from Portland and
across America will throw down at the ultimate throwback cook-off that’s
guaranteed to be one for the books. The competition style event will enlist
half of the participating chefs to represent the ‘80s and the other half the
‘90s all while set to cassette-worthy mixes at RoseQuarter Commons. With 80s
vs. 90s as the inaugural inspiration, the Thursday night competition theme will
change each year.
● Night Market: Ring of Fire Edition
Presented by Alaska Mileage Plan
will take on a ‘Pacific Rim’ theme, showcasing dishes from the West Coast
and places like Peru, Mexico, East Asia and more. Encompassing everything from
Hawaiian pig to American whiskey, the breadth of adventurous food and drink
from 20 all-star chefs and bartenders will keep guests wanting more.
● Feast’s
popular Fun-Size Events are the ‘Goldilocks’
events of the Feast family – not too big, not too small, but just right
for a hot summer night of fun bites and cool drinks. This year’s events will
include the return of Aaron Franklin’s Franklin Barbecue and Friends, a
slice of Austin in Portland. Attendees can indulge in their love of French
bistro food and Old World and New World wines at Nouveau Bistro, hone in on the electrifying flavors of
Chinese-American cuisine at Big Feast in Little China, polish
off a few oysters with beer in hand at the very first Feast Sunday Tailgate, and test
their culinary skills (and knowledge!) in good ‘ole Basically Bar Trivia with the Bon Appétit team.
● Bringing
together legendary culinary masterminds from near and far, 2018’s coveted Dinner Series will be one for the
books. This year’s lineup of ten once-in-a-lifetime meals will feature an epic
evening with Emma Bengtsson + Dominique Crenn + Kristen
Murray; a one-night-only culinary trip to Mexico City with Joshua McFadden + Elena Reygadas + Fabian
von Hauske; and a NYC’s alum beefsteak reunion with Peter Cho + Angie Mar. Plus,
Feast’s first Zero Proof dinner featuring Gabriel Rucker, Andrew Zimmern, Sean Brock,
Michael Solomonov, Gregory Gourdet, and Evan Zimmerman will break down
barriers while serving up a life-changing meal.
● ‘Glass’
is back in session: Feast’s trend spotting
Drink Tank Presented by Imbibe panels will return for discussions and
tastings with leading beverage professionals hand-plucked from around the world
covering hot topics like revered natural wines in Act Naturally: Natural Wine Comes of Age,
a peek into designing the perfect, sessionable cocktail at The Art of the Session Cocktail,
how rosé is inspiring brewers and cidermakers at Tickled Pink: Why Rosé-Inspired Ciders and
Beers Are Taking Over, and more.
● Feast’s
Classes will once again give guests
the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of a tastemaker, a topic,
and leave the festival with more than just a full belly. This year’s classes
include Brunch with Benefits, a look into
how to host an epic bubbles-fueled brunch, Pie Goals, where you’ll never think about your lattice pies the
same way again, Steak & Eggs Part Deux, and an
afternoon with Portland’s macramé master Emily Katz where she will demonstrate
a handful of her favorite knotting techniques over rosé and bites at Macramé + Rosé, and more.
● The
festival will see the return of the third “Feast Fab Collab” series, teaming
up with some of the top participating artisans and chefs to create limited
edition, one-of-a-kind Feast Portland-inspired items. Bon Appétit Presents Feast Portland will
partner with Portland-based apparel company Bridge & Burn to create a limited
edition festival t-shirt, now available for purchase at https://shop.feastportland.com/. A
portion of proceeds from all “Feast Fab Collab” items and the Bridge & Burn
collab t-shirt will be donated to Feast’s charitable partners.
