I am in the process of sharing some awesome thank you giveaways for this month, so bare with me, there will be a thank you post coming just for you! This is the first giveaway, but the rest will be for everyone!
The Portland Food Bloggers and I recently visited Smallwares for our monthly meet up. We had an awesome night, with great service and wonderful food. We enjoyed small plates and shared ten so we could each taste the creations from this amazing chef, Johanna Ware. The photo above was taken by me and my Iphone, it was my favorite dish of the night, short ribs, corn cake, avocado, hoisin, smoked mango jam. It got so much feedback on all of social my media pages, everyone wanted to eat it!
