I feel like I won the golden ticket.
A couple of weeks ago I had the good fortune to attend the “Full On Oregon” press trip. Sponsored by Travel Oregon with support from Maxwell PR, twenty food bloggers gathered in Portland for a weekend full of culinary discoveries and memorable experiences.
This was my first time in Portland and my very first official press trip. The itinerary, thoughtfully arranged by Travel Oregon, was packed with highlights (many of which my fellow attendees have already written about). Although the trip was complimentary and I received no financial compensation, the organizers made it effortless to relax and enjoy every moment.
I arrived in Portland a little early, checked into the delightful Hotel deLuxe, and took a cab to Milwaukie to visit Bob’s Red Mill. I was excited — perhaps embarrassingly so — and ended up chatting with my driver about the mill. He told me his son runs a Mexican-Korean fusion food truck, which felt perfectly Portland.
