We are in the midst of a culinary revolution. From farm to table and molecular gastronomy to dining in the dark or cooking your own gourmet feasts; there is a whole new universe of food experiences out there. Here are a few more true foodie experiences you don’t want to miss out on!
Dinner is coming
Are you a Game of Thrones fan and a foodie? If yes, then the medieval pop-up feasts by Guild of Cookery in San Francisco will blow your mind away. This foodgasm experience is the brainchild of Graham Bellefeuille and Ty Cox, young veteran chefs from SF. Both history buffs, these chefs have been drawing inspiration from medieval cookery. They recreate theatrical feasts from George R. R. Martin’s book series, A Song of Ice and Fire, which inspired the HBO series Game of Thrones. Cold egg lime soup, goose livers drowned in wine or fiery hot snake stew — the menus are not for the faint-hearted. So whether it’s Tyrion Lannister’s Feast or the Feast of Winterfell, you are bound to be transported to a different time and place.
Leave it to the Chefs
Portland Food Adventures harnesses the local chef community to bring foodies tantalizing gastronomic events and culinary trips with Portland’s very own famous chefs. Be the first to enjoy some of Portland’s most iconic restaurants with opening night dinners and private dining experiences with fellow food lovers. If that’s not enough to satisfy your palate, sign up for a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure to fantastic destinations with talented chefs from Portland. From cheap but delicious eats and pop-ups to gourmet restaurants, you are guaranteed a foodtastic time! Upcoming trips to Spain, Sicily and Mexico City still have spots open so save yours today.
Dine on the Land
Experience the slow life at Locavore Farm, a family run business in Illinois where local farmers and chefs come together to curate a gourmet dinner for you. As a guest, you purchase your share of the harvest and enjoy a delicious multi-course feast in a rural landscape on a 100-foot handcrafted table. An intimate farm tour, live band and bonfire with s’mores completes the entire culinary experience. The amazing dinner events are held from May to November each year and with an exclusive and limited 100 seats per evening, the season sells out quickly by May. Locavore Farm represents sustainable agriculture at its best and offers a true farm to table gastronomical bonanza.
Know your Meats
Get down and dirty with hands-on classes in butchery, meat cookery and charcuterie at the Portland Meat Collective. Join a community of informed omnivores who support responsible meat production and consumption in America. Local farmers sell entire animals to students, who learn from seasoned butchers and chefs how to transform the meats into food that gets to our tables. A truly unique educational experience that provides an effective path to rethinking our food system, this is highly recommended for foodies wanting to get to know their food better.
Wine me up
