Bao Brunch: Departure's Sunday Brunch
525 SW Morrison; SW Portland; 503.802.5370
Rooftop-patioed Departure has made just that from standard brunch fare to go Asian-fusiony on the city's favorite meal, meaning you can dig into Sunday cocktails like a Bloody with wasabi & Thai chili, plus wok-seared steak n' eggs, French toast made with delicious hum bao dough, and Korean fried chicken 'n waffles with chili honey, although you really shouldn't call her that when Usher's around.

Bite Me: The Bite of Oregon
Aug 10th-12th, 11a-10p (Fri-Sat), 11a-8p (Sun) at Tom McCall Waterfront Park; SW Portland
With approximately 4000 Summer festivals individually dedicated to restaurants, beer, and music, the 29th Bite of Oregon offers relief for lazier gluttons by packing all those into one. $5 lets you witness showdowns between top Oregon & Washington chefs, slug beer from 15 breweries, pop 'n lock to local bands, and scarf samples (and buyable full meals) from three dozen restaurants including Mt. Angel Sausage Co., Bambuza, and Adam's Rib -- just be sure to pace yourself, or you'll be passed out by the Eve.
