Listen, if you don’t listen to another food recommendation I give you for as long as I do this job, then please believe me when I say that the thing that has been missing from your life up until now is the duck fat Sonoran tortillas from Wandering Ranchero. (Located behind Palate Coffee). There are […]
Galley Bend has slipped into the old Longboard Louie’s space off Highway 20 on Dean Swift Road and the transformation is a pleasant surprise. The new remodel features both low and tall tables, plenty of natural light and a full bar. The restaurant is the creation of two former flight attendants, Krid Sathirawongwan (Kris) and […]
Nearly 1 trillion disposable food service products are used each year in the U.S., weighing nearly 9 million tons, according to Upstream, a reuse advocacy organization. Based on conversations with local food cart lots, The Environmental Center in Bend says one lot can produce 9 cubic yards of waste per week. To take a bite […]
The season is here and you can feel it in the crisp air along the Deschutes and the twinkle lights that creep earlier into the afternoon. Bend becomes a swirl of visiting family, friend reunions and the familiar question that floats through every living room this time of year. Where should we eat? And if […]

If you were lucky enough to snag a crusty loaf or flaky croissant at the farmers markets this summer, you already know that Bend’s small-batch bakers are doing something special. Their stalls were often lined with early risers and bread lovers, hands clutching paper bags filled with sourdough, seeded loaves and buttery pastries still warm […]
Redmond has an abundance of food carts — and food cart pods — these days. Not long ago, Wild Ride was the epicenter of cart culture. But in the past several years, we’ve seen an explosion of places where people can grab a bite, have a seat and, in most places, also have a beer. […]
The first thing I noticed about The Crown Curry upon entering is the unpretentious warmth of the vibe. More than the dearly departed Nome Italiano or Balthazar’s before that, The Crown Curry has a casual peacefulness that I appreciated. It doesn’t feel stuffy inside; instead, it asks that you take a load off and relax […]
