Consider Portland Food Adventures like the ultimate Groupon (without all that small-business-owner screwing). The chef-focused foodie events feature a multi-course dinner with one of Portland's best chefs, and to keep the party rollin', the fee includes a big chunk of gift certificates to spend at your leisure, carefully-curated to hit the chef's favorite spots. Jason French's upcoming Food Adventure at Ned Ludd has changed its date — to November 17 — and its certificate package gets you $75 worth of goodies to spots like Meat Cheese Bread, Bakery Bar, and House Spirits. Get on it.
