On Monday I had the pleasure of attending the Taste of the Nation (formally known as “Chefs’ Night Out”) event at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts. The event is a culinary fundraiser set up to raise money to fight hunger in the United States. Present at this year’s gathering were over 70 of Oregon’s best restaurants, plus 40 wineries and microbreweries serving samples of some of their best foods. Though the feast was probably worth the $70 price of admission I was able to attend without paying by volunteering a few hours of my time to help break the site down and do some cleanup.

Great Thai Food at Sukhothai

Posted in Food at 2:23 pm by Leopoldo

Yesterday I joined my friends from PortlandFood.org in our
April event. We had a Thai banquet at Sukhothai restaurant on 20th and NE Broadway. Wow, that was an incredible experience. We had a dozen dishes served, 3 of which are not on the menu and were prepared specially for the group. Even though I had to avoid four of the dishes because of my food allergy I still had an incredible and memorable epicurean experience. Sukhothai has earned a new place at the top of my mental list for Thai food in Portland, I recommend it to anyone and everyone.
