Event Planning

If grilling a shit-ton of meat this Labor Day Weekend doesn't sound appealing, Portobello Vegan Trattoria will serve a "Vegan Soul Food" dinner on Sunday, with all proceeds benefiting the Portland Youth Hip-Hop Green Dinner, a healthy-eating initiative "designed to combat childhood obesity in America." Chef Aaron Adams offers two seatings to the soul food event, featuring menu items like vegan BBQ, mac and cheese, cornbread, and sweet potato pie. Reservations are $40 and available here. [EaterWire]
