In celebration, preparation and flavorful hallucination for tomorrow's Fakin' Fest in Portland, OR, I wanted to give some hollas to many of the fakin' entries in my flickr account. As a smokey, salty fanatic, there's a lot.
Cheezy biscuits, potatoes, kale, black beans and homemade tempeh bacon.
Super club with homemade tofu bacon.
Mini grilled cheeze with homemade tempeh bacon and Galaxy rice cheeze.

One of my habitual favorite things to order in PDX: side vegan caeser salad with tempeh bacon from Hungry Tiger Too.
Aka, when it's not brunch or I'm not repeating 'TATOR TOTS' in my head.
Case in Point: The Vegan Club with tots (back when it wasn't yet on the menu!)

This was also before they made their own tempeh bacon.

And the mandatory plug:
Notes:If there's light rain, we'll be meeting under the covered gazebo area. We may wait it out or move to a nearby residence, depending on how many people are there.
If there's heavy rain, the event is cancelled and will be rescheduled indoors at a later date.
Since you know, it's fall.
There are prizes (donated by Lightlife!) for Most Creative, Best Dish & Best Gluten Free dish - and Best Fakin' Haiku!
The suggested $5 donation goes entirely to Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary.
Luke lives there!
Fakin' Ideas I've had in my head:
- Alder smoked salt, cocoa and chili grilled tempeh or seitan
- Southern style summer rolls with eggplant bacon, kale, yam and creamy, spicy dipping sauce.
- Eggplant bacon wrapped bundles of smoky greens.
- Tempeh bacon wrapped, battered, mac & cheeze squares. (inspired from the Food Network)
- Fake bacon adorned chocolate chip cookies
- Fakin bacon and dark chocolate cornflake bars
- Mac & Cheeze topped with a mixture of breadcrumbs & fake bacon. Mac & Cheeze is so my potluck regular, though..

OMG. Please come to my house and cook for me? That all looks amazing! And I miss Dave's Killer Bread like whoa!
The cocoa smoked bacon intrigues me.
OMG! I want to come so badly.
PLEASE share your recipe for homemade tofu bacon!!! OH PLEASE!
The way I know that Portland is my soul mate city is the fact that it has an entire festival devoted to vegan bacon. I mean come on, for real??? Portland, we've never met but I love you.
FABULOUS post!
jess, your food porn is exquisite! all hail all things facon!
Man, that super club sandwich looks great!
We're so there-- and please post any recipes you have! Those pictures....yum!
Sooo much fakin bacon!!! Another reason to be jealous of Portland.
I totally drooled on my keyboard - your blog should carry a "Risk of electrocution" warning.
I would love your Tofu Bacon recipe and so would Luke.
Portland truly is better than heaven! Fakin' Fest...that sounds like a dream come true. Why do I still live in Memphis? Sigh...
okay, those slabs of tempeh on that salad near the end are HUGE! wow haha
the tempeh bacon on top of the pb waffles sounds amazing. aren't omnis really into combining pb and bacon on sandwiches? yours is like a non-repulsive version of that!
sounds like it's going to be a great time! i'll be spending family time before matt runs the pdx marathon but i'll be dreaming of fakin'!
It looks soooo good! My kids would be all over it!!!
Thatsa whole lot a fakin' bacon and it all looks delicious. fakin' bacon and chocolate together? uhh, yes and yes and yes please!
OMG. I think I need to live in Portland. Hahaha. I also need to try Tempeh Bacon. That looks absolutely amazing!!
woah that is a lot of awesome looking fake stuff! yum
Woah. I am so frickin hungry right now. It all looks so great!
I've never been able to warm up to tempeh, but I've also never tried it in a baconized version. Do you have a go-to recipe for turning tempeh into delicious tempeh bacon?
Also, I'm with The Voracious Vegan, that tofu bacon is alluring.
What a great blog you have! I was just surfin' vegetarian blogs and thought I would swing by!~
