Let me keep it simple because promotions tend to hurt my brain: Registration here. Scramblin’ sign up here. See you there! I’m pretty damn stoked that on top of the whole unique and delicious culinary event aspects, my pdxbff Maeve is hosting and dropping some vegan comedy. Hot sauce jokes, y’all!

Mushroom Miso Ramen
Last night, I realized something. If I’m going to be making ramen stock from scartch, I need to get some sweet ramen bowls. These simply will not do. I went on a grocery field trip with some friends to H Mart in Tigard yesterday, and for the sake of bowls, spoons, and even more ingredients, [...]
Beverage breaks
It’s damn near sleeting outside right now, Portland is freaking out, and I could go for a warm frothy mug of peppermint hot chocolate. Or this, from Cacao. Or what the hey, a giant pumpkin pie cocktail is pretty much the same thing. Also warming, from Wafu.. Even better when you pair it with this: [...]
Food Porn Edition: Veggie Grill’s Pre-Opening in Beaverton & Anticipation
It’s about to get all food porn up in here. But first, some related anticipation with not only a purpose, but hope for those of us stuck working downtown and tired of shuffling away without direction when our go-to food cart is closed for the owner’s family cat’s birthday (which I totally understand): Sure, I [...]
Steamed Soy
I remain a broken record these last few posts. Reflections on my Southeast Asian travels, this past week’s VVC scouting trip to Chicago, and a Portland vegan nacho report (East End, Veggie Grill, etc.) are bound to come. I’m slowly compiling a list of my most memorable travel meals, and have been trying to recreate [...]
Totsgiving Plans & Sweet Potato Pie Casserole
The past few years have seen me making one or two dishes for Thanskgiving day vegan potlucks, where reclaiming the holiday with close friends with similar values and cruelty-free cuisine really does make it one of the better days of the year. This year, my possible hosting of my baby brother and has turned into [...]
Back-log: Portland Vegan Dining: Food Carts, Portobello Brunch, Hungry Tiger Too & even more Native Foods
Something crazy happened last month. I was fairly busy, fell off my budget a bit (which is ridiculous with my month off adventure fast approaching) and managed to participate in food cart regularity for the first time in what felt like years, not to mention sit down for brunch more than once. Super Creamy Ota Tofu Frittata [...]
Native Foods Weekend
Earlier this week, after an enjoyable stint as a vegan trolley tour guide, I was out at a very vegan-friendly restaurant for dinner, and I couldn’t bring myself to order anything. It’s as if my entire menu-ordering mindset had shifted over the weekend at the soft opening for Native Foods Cafe. I’ve lived in Portland for [...]
Salt Spring Inspired Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup
Break out your rain boots, adorn your favorite hoodie and repeat after me: it’s officially soup weather. It seems like only yesterday, but I earned some real Pacific Northwest points with a British Columbian adventure back in May. It was my first ever visit to Canada, at all, and I’m truly an idiot for waiting so [...]
