Join the Taste Test Challenge during Roux Week. A chef competition inspired by your favorite cooking shows, where guest chefs create dishes from surprise ingredients (from woman-owned brands) in front of a live audience, and judges guess what’s in the dish. Featuring Chefs Claudette Zepeda, Fatou Ouattara (AKADI), Gabriella Martinez and surprise local PDX judges, this is culinary chaos you won’t want to miss.

Your ticket includes:

  • Live Chef Competition
  • Specialty cocktails from Tito’s, Don Julio and NA drink options
  • Ingredient sampling from local vendors sold at Market of Choice
  • Pretty cool swag bag

Roux is a citywide festival in Portland, featuring pop-up dinners, parties, panels and hands-on experiences highlighting women in food and drink culture. Founded in 2019, Roux is for the food-obsessed, cocktail and wine enthusiasts, culinary curious and avid restaurant goers. Each year, there is something new, inclusive and wildly fun.
