The Feast Portland food festival descends upon the city starting Thursday, September 19, and unfortunately, if you haven't snagged tickets yet, chances are you're SOL: Most of the main events (Sandwich Invitational, Night Market) and chef's collaboration dinners are sold out. But the hype surrounding the festival will spill-out into other "unofficial" or satellite events, which for the purposes of pre-calorie planning, we've rounded up below. (Know of an event that's not on the list? We'll be updating this list as Feast weekend approaches.)
