Portland Baconfest, Live Wire, Food(ography)
August 16, 2010
This weekend will yet again be another one chalk full of activities. One person asked last weekend why all the fun things happen all at once. That's summer baby!
On Saturday, Portland celebrates the 2nd annual Baconfest. You thought bacon had gone out of style last year, but I assure you, it is still more popular than ham. Portland Baconfest 2010 is sponsored by PDX.FM and will bring together two dozen NW vendors with bacon related products, music and beer. They will even be tasting the wildly popular Bacon Vodka. Mobster Meatballs will be in attendance along with a super secret food cart I don't even know about. In 2009, Baconfest attracted 2500 people and collected 900lbs of canned goods for the Oregon Food Bank. 2010 will be even larger. Portland Baconfest 2010 happens Saturday, August 21 from 12-8pm in the lot next to East Burn at 1800 East Burnside. More information on the schedule and list of vendors at PortlandBaconFest.com

Live Wire Radio with Portland food carts happens Saturday evening at Gerdling Theater at the Armory. Join Gregg Abbott from Whiffies fried pies and I as we discuss the food cart scene with the wonderful hosts of the show. The show also features Reggie Watts, Dayna Hanson, and musical guests 3 Leg Torso and Menemona. It is going to be a wonderful evening. I'm so excited. More information, including tickets can be found at LiveWireRadio.com.

Back in May or June, Cooking Channel (Food Network spinnoff,) was in town for a week on a whirlwind tour of our carts for a new show - Food(ography.) The episode on Street Food featuring BrunchBox and Lisa Wood from Big-Ass Sandwiches aired on Sunday evening and will re-air tonight, Tuesday at 7pm on the Cooking Channel. Or, if you want, you can watch it online. A friend of Big Ass Sandwiches posted a link.
Well done guys.
Happy Carting!
