FEAST Sandwich Invitational 2016
The 2016 FEAST Sandwich Invitational was held on Thursday, September 15th at the RoseQuarter Commons. It was my first FEAST event, and it didn’t disappoint! 14 of the best chefs in the country pulled up their tube socks for the annual sandwich showdown.
Columbia Crest, Double, Double Canyon, INTRINSIC, Seven Falls Cellars and St. Michelle Wine Estates were all there pouring their best bottles, along with some fantastic cocktails from Don Julio, Hendrick’s Gin, House Spirits Distillery, and Rachel’s Ginger Beer.
Like all of FEAST events, the net proceeds of the Sandwich Invitational go towards ending childhood hunger in Oregon through Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon. Over the last four years, Feast has raised over $230,000 to help end childhood hunger. Pretty awesome!
I was lucky enough to have my friend Deann join me on this eating adventure and all of the amazing photographs are courtesy of her. Here’s our journey – In photographs:
