Dishcrawl, an "it's like a pub crawl, but with food!" kind of dinner party, made its way to Portland this past August, and returns for it's third "crawl" on Tuesday, October 18 in SE Portland.

The September crawl took place on NE Alberta, and included stops at the Grilled Cheese Grill, YoGio (a Korean food cart), Tin Shed, and ended with dessert at Salt and Straw. Each restaurant features a favorite dish (or two, or three...) and "dishers" get to hear straight from the chefs themselves about their approach to creative food.

At Salt and Straw, we even got the privilege of trying their super special, brand new ice cream flavor before it was available in the shop. We tasted both olive oil (coming soon!) and strawberry balsamic (available now, and so tasty!).

Dishcrawl is gaining momentum in cities like San Francisco (where it started), Toronto, and Montreal, and is making its way up through the Pacific Northwest as well. Seattle's first dishcrawl launched on October 11 in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

The next Portland crawl will be on SE Belmont (specific details will be given closer to the crawl date to those who have signed up).
