When we first moved here everyone we met would say something like, “Welcome to Portland! Have you tried _(Their favorite restaurant)_ yet?” Portland is known to be a hub for great food and everyone here is proud of it. Or at least it seems to be a popular conversation topic. Honestly, there are SO many places to eat around here we could live here for 25+ years and never try them all.
The Bite of Oregon is a festival on the waterfront where several local food trucks, catering companies, restaurants, farms, etc come together to celebrate food!
Let’s be real, we went for the free samples.
We left with a free hat from both Foster Farms and Sparkling ICE, free greek yogurt, samples of jerky/salsa/pretzels/sparkling ice/steamers chicken alfredo/etc. Also, Evan and Kelsey got a free trip to a resort! We would have too but Lucas isn’t 25 just yet. Boo. We’ll get one next year : )
The friendliest blueberry in the world. Right here.
Free clear visors from Sparkling ICE! I was so excited to shade my eyes from the sun and quickly realized these visors brighten everything. But I liked it so much I wore it until we got our next free hat : )
Peach Boba Slushy!!
I took a picture of the Alfred chicken we got free samples of but food tastes much better than it looks. So… here’s the menu of available samples!
