Adventurous Blind-Tasting Nights Begin at Ecotrust with an All-Women Chef Line-up

Blind-Tasting Bingo

 

Starting February 7, Ecotrust and Edible Portland are bringing back Blind-Tasting Bingo, a game of sensory deprivation and heightened exploration that first premiered at the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s Time-Based Art (TBA) Festival in September 2012.

The new six-month series, running from February through July, features six brilliant Portland women chefs. Alongside the games, local beverage artisans New Deal Distillery, Merit Badge Co., and Bull Run Distillery will take different nights hosting a cash bar with specialty cocktails created for each chef’s flight. All ticket proceeds benefit Ecotrust’s work to create a robust regional food system and provide the Portland community with events that explore issues of place, food, and wellbeing.

  • FEBRUARY 7 – Nong Poonsukwattana of Nong’s Khao Man Gai: “SE Asia off the Beaten Path”
  • MARCH 7 – Kelly Myers of Xico: “Regional Mexican”
  • APRIL 11 – Cathy Whims of Nostrana: Theme TBD
  • MAY 2 – Kim Boyce of Good to the Grain and Bakeshop: “The Wily World of Whole Grains”
  • JUNE 6 – Stacy Givens of The Side Yard Farm: “Grown in NE Portland Soils”
  • JULY 11 – Naomi Pomeroy of Beast: Theme TBD

Seating is limited. Each game costs $40.
