If you live in Portland and you haven’t eaten at Big Ass Sandwiches’ food cart (3rd and Ash) then you are missing out on a BIG ASS SANDWICH. Owner’s Brian and Lisa Wood have certainly found a foodie niche with their sandwich offerings. Imagine a sexy sandwich with soooo much meat, a large handful of fries (yes, on the sandwich, cuz everything needs to be in your mouth at once!), their infamous béchamel cheese sauce (drooooool), and a variety of other delicious/amazing toppings. My fav’s the breakfast sandwich, because breakfast should (and will) be consumed at all hours of the day. They have been popping up on the Travel Channel and a couple other foodie shows over the past year, and have also developed a celebrity following- with the likes of Patton Oswald and Brian Posehn stopping by to quench their hungry tummys (I recommend Brian’s sammie creation- Posehn’s Vuglar Display of Porkage: slow-cooked Carlton Farms Carolina-style pulled pork, bacon, homemade Serrano pepper coleslaw, and hand-cut fries.)
When the opportunity came around (via one of my favorite people/photographers William Anthony) to shoot BAS’s two-year anniversary party at the Wonder Ballroom I just couldn’t resist. My crew and I setup a mini photo-studio inside the venue and proceeded to take some amazing/hilarious portraits of the attendees. Oh- did I mention the party was a Red Fang show with Brian Posehn, Ron Fuches, and Ian Karmel doing comedy sets before the band went on stage? Yeah, it was awesome. Metalheads and comedy fans alike showed up ready to party… and party they did:
