It’s here! The mondo list of Feast Portland events was launched in New York on Monday night, and the lineup is sure to whet your appetite for the long weekend of great food coming to town September 20th through 23rd.

Filled with international culinary VIPs, Portland pride, and can’t-miss kick-off events (ahem), the event schedule for the Bon Appetit-sponsored food and wine festival is a harbinger of Portland’s fall induction into the upper echelon of the national food scene.

Big names on the docket include Chris Cosentino of San Fransisco’s Incanto, Bon Appétit Restaurant and Drinks Editor Andrew Knowlton, Eddie Huang of NYC’s Baohaus, Aaron Franklin of Austin’s Franklin BBQ, Amanda Freitag of Chopped, cake master Duff Goldman, Paul Kahan of Chicago’s Blackbird, Publican, and avec, and Nancy Silverton of LA’s Osteria Mozza. Throughout the weekend, these food celebs will partner with Portland’s best chefs to highlight the best of our city’s culinary offerings, from charcuterie and coffee to sandwiches and salmon.

Feast will kick off on September 20th with Portland Monthly’s Sandwich Invitational, featuring the sammy stylings of Bunk’s Tommy Habetz and Nick Wood, Beast’s Naomi Pomeroy, Franklin BBQ’s Aaron Franklin, and Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo of LA’s Animal. Get your tickets here.
