The high-profile food scene in Bend tends to overshadow what’s cooking in Sisters. At first glance, the tight-knit community seems to be behind the times with 1880’s facades and the downtown blocks you can count on two hands—but in reality the home of the world’s biggest little rodeo is also home of some of the […]

Aloha, Shred Town We love seeing our Bend small businesses grow, and that is exactly what is happening to Kurt Voorhees’ food cart, Shred Town.

Summer is always a busy time for craft enthusiasts, but over the years, Bendites have seen the second half of August turn into an unofficial […]

Pono Farm & Fine Meats is a magical place where cows […]

It’s hard to open a travel, lifestyle, or outdoor magazine lately without seeing Bend on a “Best” list.

Americans tend to think of Indian food as a single, monolithic cuisine consisting of basmati rice, assorted curries, and tandoori chicken. In reality, Indian food is as diverse as the country itself, where 1.2 billion citizens speak more than 300 languages, and each of the nation’s more than two dozen states features at least a […]
