Saucy Mama and Chef Von Eggers collaborate at Feast Portland

Pendleton, Or. (October 7, 2014) – When Suzie “Saucy Mama” Barhyte of Barhyte Specialty Foods collaborates with Chef Brian von Eggers of Pendleton’s own Wildhorse Resort and Casino, magic happens; or, at least, magical-tasting food happens. The two chefs hailing from Pendleton, Oregon were invited to this year’s Feast Portland event to showcase the delicious ingredients in one unique dish, completely inspired by Eastern Oregon’s fresh offerings.

Feast Portland is a food and drink festival sponsored by Bon Appétit which celebrates Oregon’s incredible bounty of deliciousness. Highlighting local chefs and products, industry leaders and restaurants, the event donates its net proceeds to charities that aid in ending childhood hunger in Oregon.

Wildhorse’s Certified Executive Chef, Eggers, and his team served a delectable dish to festival attendees, inspired by Pendleton’s historic Chinese culture: Under-Ground Fried “Wheat Berry” Rice. The dish features three Saucy Mama products- Pacific Rim Ginger Dressing, Apricot Ginger Mustard and Sesame Ginger Dressing- and all ingredients were sourced locally from Eastern Oregon, including gorgeous chanterelle mushrooms and juicy rib eye steak. The recipe can be found on Barhyte’s company blog here. 

Team “Eastern Oregon’s” booth was non-stop busy as attendees lined up for a take-out box of Chef Brian’s dish, while Suzie chatted with the crowd about Barhyte’s products. The event, which brought in more than 11,000 attendees in 2013, commanded great new attention for the Saucy Mama brand.
