<3 sounds like a great times <3
I would love love LOVE to win this! I’ve been looking at tickets every day since I heard about it but just cannot afford it… This would be amaaaazing!
Yes! Meet the chefs and wine makers.
This sounds like one heck of an event.
I want to go because the idea of eating food shaped like Oregon off a giant fork is appealing to me.
Also, this Pat White fellow that commented before may be a T-Rex in which case I wouldn’t recommend letting him into the feast…
My husband and I just moved here, and it would be a great way to get to know Portland’s food scene! We couldn’t afford to go otherwise- this would be an amazing gift.
I would win boyfriend of the year if I got these tickets… And I could use it!
I have never been and I surely love to Feast, thanks!!
This is right around my birthday and would love to go!
I suck at cooking and I’m a poor college student! It would be an awesome date for my boyfriend and I!!! Pick meeeeeee
What a perfect way to get my new roommate out of our living room and into the dining room at Pioneer Square.
i had chef boyardee for dinner last night. please. help me.
With our daughter going to college in New York our entertainment budget is nonexistent! Winning tickets would be fantastic!
I just moved to Portland, it would be awesome to get a chance to win some tickets!
Feast Portland is going to be the best Foodie event in the Northwest this year! And who else but Bon Appetite would know how to host such a great event!
I can only hope my luck is good enough to win some tickets!
Thoughts of attending Feast have filled my every waking moment since it was announced. Night Market! Sandwich Invitational! SO MUCH GOOD FOOD!
I have a friend in town visiting that weekend. It’d really show off Portland if I won tickets.
I’d love to go this event featuring some of the best food Portland has to offer.
Oh wow, Portland has such an incredible bounty indeed when it comes to
food and drink and I would very much love to attend this event. So
much in this town that I have not tried and tasted. And it’s been
difficult lately to find the $ to get out and about to experience what
the city has to offer.
Hope to win these passes and check out some of the stuff I’ve been missing!!
I’ve been waiting for this! Can’t wait, the $60 price tag is the only thing stopping me from getting the tickets!
I love food and feasting!
Sounds like so my fun, would love to take my gf here
I love to cook and it would be a great experience to go and learn new things.
I would love to WIN.
I want to go to feast because I am a huge foodie!!
Lemme feast on something from Beast!
Portland has the best food in the country!
Portland is great because there’s hiking and there’s eating…the perfect complement!
I LOVE Food. I would simply elated to be able to attend the grand tasting and rub elbows with chefs. I get star struck around chefs as others do to movie stars.
Winning these tickets could prevent my heart from breaking. My 21 year old son, George is moving to Canada within the next few weeks. This wonderful food event, surely would be proof that there is no need to ever leave Portland. Portland truly is the end of the rainbow, and this night will be the pot of gold.
No virus found in this message.
Yes, please!
I’ll be visiting from New Mexico and would love to taste the cuisine in Portland.
Oh my! I’ve love to win so I could hope to learn some great cooking tips. Food + Portland+ Awesome chefs = win win for me
It all just sounds beyond fun, inspiring and yummy! And if Naomi Pomeroy is there then you know it is goin’ be awesome!
I want. I really want. More than I have wanted what I have tried to win through PDX Pipeline in the past. Please and thank you!
I’m beginning a Feast fast now in anticipation :)
Me and my girlfriend are huge wine and foodies and love to try as many restaurants in Portland as we can. This would be an amazing event to attend.
Everyone keeps talking about it! And August has been a really bad month in terms of financial emergencies.
This sounds amazing. I hope I win.
Portland chefs make some of the best dishes in the country. I’d love to have a chance to sample all of the amazing food & drinks at FEAST!
I need to go to this event not only for my deep appreciation of all thing culinary but for the pure fact that I really need to put on some pounds for the upcoming fall/winter months… Portland Love!
First off I’v never been to Portland and this would be a great reason to go! I am also a huge fan of food, not to say I’m over weight! This would be a perfect chance to go on my first real vacation in what seems like forever! Also a girl I like really wants to go!
I LOVE to eat delicious food.
I’ve never been to this event, ever!
I love that the culinary world is converging into Portland. I really want to experience the ultimate Portland Food experience.
My husband and I are big foodies with tight budgets.
Hmmmm….. This is making my stomach growl!
I would love to take my friend (visiting from LA) to this!!!
Would LOVE to give these to my amazing MOM for her birthday, she is the best and deserves a fun day!
This sounds like an absolutely wonderful event. I would love to be able to take it in, and enjoy some of the wonderful food. Budget constraints prohibit me from buying tickets, but winning them would be a dream come true. Thanks PDX Pipeline for the chance.
I like to eat. Nom nom.
please pick me! i would love to go to this event… Jill T-
I need a date night with my honey! :)
I ate at the Spotted Pig once in NYC. I’d love to see April Bloomfield cook firsthand!
I love to eat & I have a huge crush on Naomi Pomeroy.
I’ve been dying to go to Beast, but I can’t foot the bill. I would love to see the chef in action. Oregon beer and wine don’t hurt either.
I’d like to feast on portland if I do say so myself!
This sounds incredible!
What an incredible-sounding event. I’d love to get in for free
This sounds delicious!
I LOVE FOOD
Yummy, yummy, I want good food, beer and wine in my belly.
I should win because it’s my boyfriend’s birthday, and we are quintessential foodies together! He’d love this.
NOM!!! Would love to take my foodie sweetheart!! Many thanks!!
I love to eat and to feed my sweetie in style.
I am drooling just thinking about it…people are starting to look at me funny. Free tickets would make it stop.
ME PLEASE!!!!!
Because Portland food is the best in the country. I’ve gained 10 pounds, and I just moved back 3 months ago.
Freakin’
Enormous
Amazing
Superb
Tantalizing
This sounds super amazing! I’d love to win tickets for my girlfriend’s birthday at the end of September!
Food and wine are two of my great loves, but on a student budget I can never afford to go to these. It would be great to wine and finally get to go!
can’t think of a better way to celebrate going off my diet…
because i like to eat. kind of.
I am so dedicated to the consumption of awesome Portland food, I’m having surgery to replace my mouth with a vacuum suction device so that I may more appropriately inhale every delicious thing evarrrrr!
This would be a fun adventure!
Some of the best chefs in the country will be here, and I like to eat.
i’ve lost seven pounds this summer. help me find it!
efffffin delishhh!
A chance to check out Portland’s delicious food scene and find the calories I burned during marathon training? Yes, please!
Not in a box.
Not with a fox.
Not in a house.
Not with a mouse.
but i would eat if i was there
i would gorge at the Feast(ing) Fair
PS-and i’d love to win, i you should care.
My mother is coming into town that weekend only, all the way from Washington D.C., to visit me on my short break between terms at OHSU Dental School. There would be no better way to surprise her and demonstrate what the Portland food and beverage scene is all about than with two tickets to this event.
I’ve already started fasting in preparation for this event.
Count me in!
Hey, it sounds really fun. Especially the cooking demos!
This might be the coolest giveaway yet! Pick me!!!!
Yes! Food, Wine, Learning! Would love to be a part of it. Thank you.
Once or twice in a lifetime do people get to take part in a truly special and life-changing event.
While eating and drinking in a roped off section of P square, looking out at the riff raff that can’t afford $60 tix to nosh in such, er, luxurious surroundings isn’t one of these events, steady1 is free that evening. I will fill my pockets on the sly for the unfortunates between the square and the less-than-direct route it will take to figure out where the car is parked after all the vino.
Ohhh…my friends just arrived and I would love to take him to this and give them a formal introduction to PORTLAND.
I would take my girl and she would be happy
Om nom nom nom.
Well, on 9/21 I turn 42, an age that has no real significance, but it would be a nice birthday if I could have food and drinks on someone else for once!
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes please!!–My kids left to go back to school and I’m sad—I could use a tasty diversion!
i would like to attend this event for the education and knowledge i could recieve. being a low paid cook in this city is hard. Those that cook for a living can not afford to go. these events are really for the well to do people that have expendable cash.
I will make you proud.
I want to go for the beer ;-)
Very new to Portland and anxious to experience the wonderful tastes of the city!
We moved from Connecticut to Portland 7 months ago SPECIFICALLY for the food – we would LOVE to attend Feast!
I think it will be a blast and I’d love to take my girl friend and maybe invite some other friends too, so we can all have an eating good time. I Love good food, good friends and good drinks, so I look forward to this event. I’ll check it out one way or the other.
We recently just moved here from Idaho and we have heard about this event! It would be so great to eat the food from the best chefs! Not to mention my birthday is 7 days later- I know my hubby would love to consider this a b-day dinner!
An ultimate Foodie event! I would love to go!
I would love to be inspired by these great chefs!
this taurus girl loves to eat. yum! amazing opportunity
I can feast with the best of them. Beckie
See— events like this are why I run…..
WOW! WE LOVE PIONEER SQUARE ! AND ALL THINGS FOOD
IN PORTLAND. WHAT A FEAST TO MEET THE CHEFS AND TASTE ALL THE FOOD AND WINE
THANKS FOR LETTING US ENTER
AND i HOPE WE WIN
I want to win because I don’t know how to cook and I could use some tips and recipes so my husband and I don’t spend anymore money on fast food!!
Count me in, please.
I want to go so bad! I work for a non-profit so it is totally beyond my budget.
Best friends for 25 years, four of us will celebrate the birthday of one of our “sisterhood” in Portland that weekend! The one we celebrate LOVES everything about cooking! We would love to celebrate her by attending this incredible event, although circumstances would not permit us to attend without winning tickets. We can’t wait to spend time in beautiful Portland!
What better way to experience the best Portland has to offer!!!
Because I’m an unemployed hardcore localvore who wants to rub elbows with like-minded folks.
I like food, food is good. Food can also be expensive, so free makes food excellent.
I love food and booze! This would be a great event to try out new things and be inspired by these amazing chefs!
I have had a lot of things come up in the last month that has made me forget why I love Portland so much and I think this would be a perfect reminder of why I love being here
We LOVE Portland restaurants and wine, this is a wonderful way for us to discover some new restaurants and spend time with our fellow Portlanders!! We would love to open up our regular restaurant line up to some new places!!!
ALSO, we could use a baby-free night to eat and drink and be merry!!
Winning these would be make my move to Portland even more worth it!
I’m hongray!
I would love to take my hubby to this. We love food and wine and this event sounds great.
This sounds incredible, who doesn’t love great food
Would a make an awesome first date for me and friend.
I want to go! This would make a great bday present for my husband.
I haven’t gone to this but wow I think I will this year.
All I have to say is “Nom nom nom nom nom……”
PDX Feast to go, I must!
For wine, beer, and lavish nosh I lust.
My bank account is zero.
Make me a weekend planning hero.
In PDX Pipeline, I trust!
I like to eat, I like to drink and my in-laws are staying with me for the next 3 weeks. Going to this would be a awesome break!
My two favorite words: Oregon & Feast!
Main reason I want to go is to see if they are having Alligator! I had some at the Bite of Oregon and it was delicious and no one else serves it and the stores don’t really sell it, either. So I am looking to see if they will have it; and of course to compare the variety of food offerings to that of the Bite of Oregon, lets see how much variety they can offer and the quality of it, as well.
There is food. I like food. I like eating it, cooking it, just about everything except for the inevitable washing dishes part. As I’m pretty sure they won’t make me do dishes for this event, it’s practically made for me.
I’m new to the area and would love to sample Oregon food and drink!
I would love to talent husband to this, as he hasn’t really experienced any events like this, and loves to try new eats out!
We would love to attend to meet the chefs and winemakers and write about our experience.
I like to nom nom nom
Please oh please ! This would be a dream.
Please help! Desperately need a “date” with my husband. All work and no play makes for a crappy day :( PORTLAND PIPELINE ROCKS!!
I’d like to win these tickets not for the delicious food, but because I’m actually the T-Rex that guy Preston mentioned up there. I figure I’ll get some good nom noms out of you guys after you’re all fattened up by the tastings. I may have to wear some sunglasses and a wig, though, because I have a feeling Portland may not be too keen on T-Rexes attending these sorts of things.
I want to win because this is such an awesome new event and I’m too broke to buy tickets. Also, it’s my husbands fortieth birthday, and he’d love to go. And I have a young kid and don’t eat out much and this way I could ‘eat at’ a bunch of restaurants at once.
To win would be the embracing light at the end of this neverending dark tunnel I have been living and fighting for the last 20 years. And would make this single mother of 2 eturnally and greatfully happy.
It’s my gf’s b-day weekend. I’d like to do something special especially since she’s having a crappy month.
I love food and I love you.
Feast-tummy food, wine, and beer-the perfect celebration for a lady turning 40!!!
Nom nom nom…
Would kill to go to this!!
Tickets pleeeeze
I love Portland and I love food even more.
This looks like a great event.
oregon! food! portland!
would love to win this.
As a Portland foodie, I will be enormously appreciative of an event of this nature and free – is key as a single mom who has stressed all summer over a really sucky union contract negotiation at work! Yuk!
I’ve been following this event for months hoping I could come up with the money to attend. I haven’t yet. Gimme tickets!
Tickets please! I live food and spirits and people!
Food good.
om nom nom
get in my belly!
In town from SF celebrating our anniversary. Would love to FEAST!
Wow, what an amazing event! I would love to surprise my husband and take him to Feast. Thanks for giving us foodies the opportunity to win tickets.
I’D LIKE TO ATTEND BECAUSE I LOVE PORTLAND TASTING FEASTS!!!
OMG! Every one and their uncle wants in on this one. So I hope I can manifest the luck of the draw. This is such an awesome idea and who wouldn’t want to go. Guess all I can dd is pick me and I’ll write up some compelling promotional social media for the event and pdxpipeline! (Does a negotiable trade help land you tickets? Time will tell, ha!)
OMG! Every one and their uncle wants in on this one. So I hope I can manifest the luck of the draw. This is such an awesome event. What Portland foodie wouldn’t want to be there? I know I’m drooling just thinking about it. Why do I want to go? To see dozens of top chefs and winemakers and partake of Oregon’s bounty! Food, wine, demos, and more in Portland’s living room. Guess all I can add is pick me and I’ll write up some compelling promotional social media for the event and pdxpipeline! (Does a negotiable trade help land you tickets? Time will tell, ha!)
this event sounds awesome! I wanna go play too! yay!
This would be a fantastic date with my mate, if I could win tickets.
Nom nom nom nom nom. My mouth is watering just thinking about this. But who would I bring?
I’d love to go!
My boyfriend and I were just drooling over the lineup for Feast but my job at an ice cream store doesn’t quite cover a meal at Feast (or Beast)!
I would love to win tickets! Naomi Pomeroy’s beef recipe and Food & Wine magazine, knocked the socks off my guests! I would love for her to teach me more!
I haven’t been to any food festivals yet since I’ve lived here and I NEED to go!
This event looks amazing – one more thing that makes Portland awesome. I would LOVE to go.
PDX and Feast, better pairing than burgers and beer!
I want to go soooo bad!
My FORK is Ready!
I would love to watch all the demonstrations!
Because I am a feasting animal, EVERYDAY! Mrhgmrhgmrhgm!
it’s just in time for lunch!
