Valentine’s Day is also called the Feast of St. Valentine—but in this case, “feast” isn’t meant in the meal sense, but instead an annual religious celebration dedicated to a particular saint. An actual feast is more fitting though, because many of us are going to restaurants to celebrate the holiday. Valentine’s Day is the second […]
Looking like a plastic bubble wrap in dough form, bubble waffles have been trending for a while now. Now, they’ll soon be in Bend! You can try them at TeaCupFuls’ grand opening Feb. 3. In addition to bubble waffles, the TeaCupFuls Asian-inspired coffee shop will be serving bubble tea, lattes, smoothies, espresso, cotton candy, spring […]
If you like cheese with your spaghetti—and by cheese, I mean a campy cowboy movie— then Spaghetti Western Wednesday at Tin Pan Theater may be for you. The concept is an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner, including Caesar salad and garlic bread, paired with a Spaghetti Western movie for $10. Adding to the thrills: You don’t know […]
The Ale Apothecary tasting room on Century Drive is filled with art, barrels and stories. If you’ve ever gone in for a tasting or a glass, you’ve enjoyed their unique, all Oregon beers, but also yearned for some food to compliment those complex brews. Your opportunity to enjoy both is on March 4 at Sunday […]
After five honey infusions and five years, Sweet Alchemy is saying farewell. Sandy Billings and Shonna Cunningham, a mother-daughter business team, said, “It was a tough decision because we love our product and love interacting with the community at farmers markets and events.

Sugar and spice and everything nice. That’s not referring to little girls, but instead refers to chai, the sweet, warm, spicy tea you find in many coffee houses. The word itself means “tea,” so calling it chai tea is a little redundant. If you were trying to be accurate, you’d call it the proper Indian […]
Did you know James Beard was an Oregon native? He also hosted the first television cooking show. You can learn more about this eccentric Oregonian, who recognized the importance of locally sourced food long before it was trendy, in the film, “James Beard: America’s First Foodie.” It’s playing for one night, Feb. 5, at McMenamins […]
Walk into the Deschutes County building and you’ll see 97 Café. It has an ephemeral vibe with two free standing counters, but the coffee shop, previously named 5J Café, has been there for six or seven years and has had several owners. Most recently 97 Café was purchased by Kristal Jaquith, a previous employee. Jaquith […]
Sorry, westsiders: 10 Barrel Brewing’s Westside pub is closed, sort of. The interior space is temporarily shut for renovations. The company has plans to redo the kitchen, the entrance, restore the floors and add a new bar and draft systems to serve, you guessed it, more beers. In the interim, you can order beers and […]
I discovered Duda’s Billiards Bar while researching the businesses using Prep Bend as a commercial kitchen. Duda’s Billiards Bar uses the spot to make Amy’s famous homemade Aussie meat pies. I was intrigued. I’ve had Cornish pasties, the baked English pastry filled with minced (ground) meat and vegetables, which gained popularity in the late 18th century […]
