Happy Labor Day Weekend, folks!

Summer's nearly over, but my travels are just getting started! Last week, there was a quick trip to Denmark for the Copenhagen Cooking & Food Festival, and an even quicker trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania to visit Chocolate World and bake in the Hershey Test Kitchen. Next week, there will be a short stop in Seattle before I head out on an apple picking trip in Washington State with one of my blogging besties, Molly Yeh. Then, we're hopping down to Oregon for Feast Portland!

I've been to Feast almost every year since it started, and it's been really fun watching the festival grow and become the crazyawesomesuccessful event it is today. The festival kicks off with Sandwich Invitational, where chefs from Portland and all around the country compete to make the best mini sandwiches ever. It's basically an outdoor picnic but bigger, better, and with more famous folks cooking away!


Last year, one of my favorite restaurants in Portland, Olympia Provisions (formerly known as OlympiC Provisions before the IOC came after them for using "Olympic" — seriously guys?! maybe focus your energies instead on making sure athletes don't dope or make up lies about being mugged in this year's host city, but I digress) whipped up this crazy hot dog topped with potato salad and their famous charcuterie:


And, to get in the spirit of Feast, I thought it would be fun to make it at home for all the folks who missed out last year! Check out the recipe below, and get your stretchy pants on:

Some maker's notes:

• Soooo disclaimer: I'm a baker, not a cook. When it comes to baking, I'm precise to a fault. I make the same recipes over and over and take notes until I get it exactly right. When it comes to cooking... not so much. I tend to squirt an ingredient here and there without measuring things. I taste as I go and add more or less depending on what I feel like. I'm encouraging you to do the same for this recipe — everybody likes their potato salad differently. Some like it super mayonnaisey, others mustardy. You get to be the chef here and figure out how much of each flavor you want in your salad. Or if you can't stand my wishy washy instructions, check out Deb's more precise ones (I used her recipe as my guideline). Sound good? Let's go!
