For the next week, I’ll be drinking beer, tasting Northwestern delicacies and doing my best to schmooze the sea of food professionals flocking to Downtown Portland. Some of the highlights I’m really looking forward to include a late-night discussion between Virgina Willis and Anne Willan, a food photography seminary put on by mattbites, and cocktails (nightly) with Nealey Dozier of Dixie Caviar. Hooray!
