Ancient Roman food pop-up Vocatio Romae lands in Portland, dishing out pork belly and spelt porridge while tomatoes remain banned. Chef Caraway Alexander revives lost Roman flavors on May 18, making culinary time travel a local event.

This culinary experiment surprises locals with celery and lovage seeds in every authentic plate. Food adventurers searching for ancient cuisine get a rare taste of the Roman Empire—no pizza, but plenty of pork belly to fuel your next toga party.
