Taste of the Nation, Portland’s premier tasting event is happening May 8 at JELD-WEN Field and we have a pair of GA tickets ($170) for you to win. Mix and mingle with Portland’s premier chefs, breweries, wineries and distilleries in the heart of downtown Portland. Savor signature dishes, specialty cocktails, wine and beer. A silent auction will feature lifestyle and epicurean packages! I attended last year and enjoyed so many tasty bites. This year should be even better.
We decided to create a little trivia contest to make you work for it. A couple of carts are participating – Nong’s Khao Man Gai and Violetta – so you’ll need to know a bit about them and also about Taste of the nation to win.
Email your responses to TasteTrivia@FoodCartsPortland.com. We will draw randomly from the winning responses on Friday, April 20. Good luck.
