    I'm baaaaaack with Round 2 of my Feast Portland recap!

    Today, I'm going to dive right in - because this year, we have a VIDEO! Watch the video recap below, and keep scrolling for the rest of this year's photos, restaurant recommendations, and event wrap-ups.

    VIDEO: FEAST PORTLAND 2018

    ON TO THE PHOTOS!

    Hands mixing a bowl of fried cauliflower with buffalo sauce.

    (ABOVE) This sweet & spicy fried cauliflower from Parachute Chicago was one of the best bites of the night.

    BRUNCH VILLAGE & SUNDAY TAILGATE

    The final Feast Portland Flagship event (Brunch Village) and one of the last Fun-Sized Events of the year (Sunday Tailgate) were a celebration of delicious food, community, and the close of another fabulous year at Feast.

    Hands flipping round pastries over a griddle.

    Aebleskiver (Danish Pancake Balls, ABOVE and BELOW) - one of the coolest things we saw all weekend. Aebleskiver were completely new to me, and we must have watched the chefs from Broder Nord flip these spherical pancakes around for half an hour (MESSSSSMERIZING). Good news: They have these babies on their regular menu, so if you're in Portland, please go order a hundred of them so I can live vicariously.

    Three pastries on white plates with red jam.

    This breakfast sandwich (ABOVE) from Edouardo Jordan of Junebaby in Seattle looks simple, but it packed a ton of flavor. One of the highlights of Brunch Village this year.

    One of the highlights of the weekend: These lobster rolls by the Kingpin Lobster Pop-Up team from Lardo PDX.
