Feast Is Mostly Sold Out, But Don’t Despair. Here’s How To Replicate Some of Its Big-Ticket Events On Your Own.

By the time we’re this close to Feast—Portland’s most decadent food festival—the utility of a preview piece is rendered moot. Everything worth attending is long sold-out, and the only stuff left is like, a class on how to better photograph whiskey for social media that costs $60 to attend. (That’s real, by the way.) Here’s the thing, though—in this city, you don’t need Feast to feast.

A New Restaurant in Old Town Doubles as a Food Service Training Program for the Homeless

Metaphorically, the table Stone Soup sets serves the whole community. While the food is impressive—the menu includes banh mi with steamed bao and an herb-infused chicken soup it calls NY Penicillin—what happens elsewhere on the premises is perhaps more noteworthy than what’s on the plate. Stone Soup will soon double as a training program for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and lack food service industry skills. The program helps them obtain steady employment in an industry always in need of workers.
