You've probably been to a brunch. But chances are, you've never experienced one like this before. Come along as we explore the Feast Portland Brunch Village!

It's Friday, and today's Foodie Friday post is a focus on what I believe to be the ULTIMATE in food bliss: BRUNCH!
I've always loved brunch. Long before the long lines appeared and back when restaurants still took reservations (if you do take reservations, you automatically get 10 extra gold stars in my review book. No joke.), I made it a life priority to take the time to enjoy that luxurious meal between breakfast and lunch. The meal that says, "Go ahead, you've worked hard all week, you deserve to sleep in. And when you wake, you shall be rewarded with a big, bountiful, hearty array of the best of both breakfast and lunch worlds."
My favorite food festival hosts the biggest, baddest brunch of all known as Brunch Village. This year, join me and hundreds of other hungry brunch lovers at:

For the second year in a row, I am missing FEAST, and I am so bummed! I mean, I'm excited to be going to a super-great foodie conference in Seattle, but I'm so bummed about missing FEAST. And now you tell me that they have a Brunch Village?!?! Heck, I want to *live* in Brunch Village. Next year. I will be there next year!

Oh my goodness, you had me with that first photo already. I love brunch too. More options are always better when it comes to food.

Brunch Village sounds like a place I'd buy real estate.
