FEAST PORTLAND

Forget the snobbery and extended pinky fingers. Feast Portland is an annual food and wine festival that doesn't take itself too seriously. Spanning four days and dozens of sold-out events, their tightly-curated lineup is like a Who's Who of noteworthy chefs, food artisans and drink purveyors—which, sadly, leaves a lot of others on the outside looking in.
