Coverage for Central Oregon, by Central Oregonians.
100% Local. No Paywalls.

Every day, the Source publishes a mix of locally reported stories on our website, keeping you up to date on developments in news, food, music and the arts. We’re committed to covering this city where we live, this city that we love, and we hear regularly from readers who appreciate our ability to put breaking news in context.

The Source has been a free publication for its 22 years. It has been free as a print version and continued that way when we began to publish online, on social media and through our newsletters.

But, as most of our readers know, times are different for local journalism. Tech giants are hoovering up small businesses and small-business advertising—which has been the staple for locally owned media. Without these resources, journalism struggles to bring coverage of community news, arts and entertainment that social media cannot deliver.

Please consider becoming a supporter of locally owned journalism through our Source Insider program. Learn more about our program’s benefits by clicking through today.

Mother pflücke-r, fall is almost here

Here’s what’s new on the culinary scene

By Cayla Clark

pflücke – Bavarian Grillhaus and Biergarten

There’s a new bratwurst in town. Northwest Crossing’s newest culinary addition is now open for full-service dining, takeout and local delivery. The Grillhaus and Biergarten is serving up traditional sausage paired with housemade mustards and a wide variety of craft brews, making for a pfün evening out with pfrïends. The menu includes Bavarian “comfort food” from Spätzle (German spelt grain dumplings in a creamy bier cheese sauce) to the Crown Platter, a four-person meal that includes haus grilled sausages, Bavarian breads, mustards, cheese, kraut and a variety of other accoutrements. The microbrewery inspired menu also includes rotating flights of local beer and cider.

South yo Mouth

Even if you decide not to staycate at the Signature Bend hotel at 1413 NE 3rd St., you can still take advantage of the hotel’s new food cart, South yo Mouth. The southern-inspired BBQ truck serves up a range of portobello-centric vegetarian fare, from Mac & Cheese with smoked mushrooms to No Pork Sliders made with BBQ sauce-smothered portobellos, house made slaw and pickled red onions. Smoked ‘Shroom Tacos are a steal at six for $10. The Youngins menu is not limited based on age, but is also available to those young at heart (and maybe a little less peckish). Grab a meal and enjoy it by the Signature fire pits, along with a $5 pour from one of nine local taps inside the Signature lobby.

Pumpkin Spice Time!!!

It isn’t quite September, but Sisters’ own Laird Superfood has just reintroduced its Pumpkin Spice Superfood Creamer, a plant-based, guilt-free alternative to the coveted seasonal treat.

“Our Pumpkin Spice Superfood Creamer, which has been a fan favorite, is made from naturally sourced ingredients and costs less than buying a latte. We want consumers to have the opportunity to enjoy the taste of the season with extra nourishment – guilt-free,” said Paul Hodge, CEO and co-founder of Laird Superfood in a recent press release. Insider’s tip: this creamer isn’t just for coffee: it also adds some healthy, festive spice to tea and smoothies.
