Some mornings, breakfast needs to be an event. You want the eggs, the coffee, the crispy potatoes and perhaps a cocktail, and you’re willing to wait for them. Other mornings what you really want is a good cup of tea, a delicious bite and a comfortable place to sit and catch up with a friend […]
Sometimes a restaurant does not need to reinvent the room to reinvent the experience. At Bistro Colette, Chef Jeremy Buck has transformed the former Flights Wine Bar on College Way into a warm and welcoming neighborhood French bistro, while keeping much of the comfortable, upscale casual atmosphere that made the space inviting in the first […]
Bend has no shortage of food carts, but finding one serving truly distinctive Southeast Asian street food is another story. That is exactly the niche Kley Dhillon and his family are carving out with Tekka Tiger, the food cart recently named The Source’s Best of Central Oregon 2026 Best New Food Cart. For Dhillon, the […]
Bend has no shortage of places to grab a beer, meet friends for dinner or refuel after a day outside. But Base Camp, the new adventure hub directly behind the Powder House on SW Century Drive, is aiming to put all of those things under one very large roof. And when I say large, I […]

The exterior has the caramelized crispness that good burnt ends demand, while the inside remains surprisingly meaty with just enough rich fat to carry the smoky flavor. Instead of leaning into heavy sauces and oversized portions, […]
There’s something appealing about a place where you can order a craft cocktail, grab a sliced brisket sandwich, pick up bone-in chops or ribeyes for the grill and leave with provisions for your next mountain adventure.

One bite of Cascade Alchemy Bowls’ Mt. Hood Bowl and I immediately regretted every visit I had ever made to Blacksmith Public House without ordering it from the food truck. The creamy Thai-inspired peanut sauce was bright and citrusy. Tender marinated chicken, crunchy pickled carrots, sautéed bok choy and cool cucumber slices came together over […]
Here’s an easy summertime recipe, perfect for making sandwiches to tote along on whatever adventure you’re setting out upon.
