September 24, 2012

Ned Ludd's Jason French offered tall stacks of shrimp and watercress sandwiches, cut down to tea-snack size and served with a smile.

Beast's Naomi Pomery took home the trophy with her maple-glazed pork belly and pickled watermelon slaw on a housemade semolina roll.

Duff Goldman (of Charm City Cakes) put together an a.m.-style "Egg McDuffin" with serrano ham, bacon, AND sausage.

The Ace of Cakes got a helping hand from Feast designer (and wife of co-founder Carrie Welch) Jannie Huang.

Pine State Biscuits served up mini biscuits with pork tenderloin and apple chutney.

Ned and Jodi Elliott of Austin's Foreign & Domestic offered patriotic Texas-smoked Carlton Farms pork butt and pickled Dungeness crab with Oregon pear slaw and pig's ear gravy.

Kenny & Zuke's Ken Gordon sliced Classic Pastrami Ruebens to order.

Aaron Frankling of Austin's Franklin Barbecue and Rodney Muirhead of Portland's Podnah's Pit teamed up to create a smoked prime rib cheesesteak.

Imperial's Ben Bettinger brought along beef belly banh mi with beef knuckle marmalade.

Seattle's Molly Moon ice cream offered sweet sandwiches filled with their signature cool concoctions.

Local bartenders mixed up cocktails to go with the handheld fare.

Lincoln's Jenn Louis whipped up Dungeness crab rolls with tarragon, lemon, and fennel (topped with bacon!).

Bunk's Tommy Habetz and Nick Wood offered these "matahambres" (hunger killers), with chuck steak, spinach, carrot, and a slow-cooked egg marinated in chimichurri.

Feast Portland transformed Director Park into a sandwich-lover's paradise, where anything and everything could be found between two slices of bread. Local favorites like Beast's Naomi Pomery and Lincoln's Jenn Louis went head to head against national contenders like Duff Goldman and Aaron Franklin.
