I’m a little late to the game, but I had to blog about this Trinidadian food popup at Little Griddle tomorrow, Tuesday October 19 at 3pm. Instagram account Mad Man Pop Up is behind this and the menu for tomorrow looks delicious (and is compatible with today’s earlier post about pumpkin).

Did you know that National Pasta Day is celebrated every October 17? It’s true and has been since 1995, when the World Pasta Congress met.

This “international food tour” runs three consecutive weekends between Saturday, October 23 and Sunday, November 7, 2021: October 23 & 24, October 30 & 31 and November 6 & 7.

I was really happy to hear that Beaverton Restaurant Week is back for its fifth year! It will take place between Thursday, September 23 and Sunday, October 3 (so, a little over a week). In 2017, their inaugural restaurant week featured 28 restaurants; this year they expect over 35 restaurants to participate. Continue reading “Beaverton Restaurant Week 2021”
