The 2016 food and drink haiku has come to a close.
This year, the winning entry received two tickets to Anne Amie Vineyards in Carlton, Oregon. Each year, they kick off the International Pinot Noir Celebration with a pre-IPNC event, Counter Culture: A Celebration of Urban Street Food and International Wines. The tickets include a shuttle from Portland and back.
The runner-up received a chicken dinner from Fusspot Chicken, which serves $10 plates of Korean-inspired fried chicken on the bone with sesame slaw and a gochujang-based spicy sauce. The fried chicken pop-up is at Kitchen Cru, NW Flanders & Park, every other Saturday 5-7p. The next one is on July 2nd.
