Event Planning

A staggering list of 30+ Portland chefs will gather at downtown's Imperial to honor the memory of Portland Farmer's Market icon Gene Thiel, who passed away last month. Chefs including Vitaly Paley, Greg Denton, Jason French, Naomi Pomeroy, John Taboada, and Cathy Whims are among the chefs cooking up a six-course, family-style dinner on August 20. Reservations are $100-250, with proceeds to benefit the Thiel family. More information here. [EaterWire]
