As a food journalist, it’s almost impossible to list the top-10 food and drink stories of the year. So, please, bear with me as I guide you through 10 of Central Oregon’s highlights across the food and drink scene. Miyagi Ramen: This small ramen hub made waves across Bend’s food scene when it opened up […]
“Amazing vibe, world-class food and rotating beer taps.” According to Caleb Trowbridge, those are a few of the things that make The Podski a special place any time of year. Add in a fire pit, a new, heated building, food carts offering up warm hearty foods like stew, fried chicken and perogies, “Thirsty Thursdays” and […]
Redmond currently leads Central Oregon with its rate of housing growth, and new businesses are following suit. A few restaurants have recently said goodbye to Central Oregon just as several more opened their doors. Here’s an update on some of the spots that have opened recently in Redmond. Wild Catch: English style fish and chips […]
So many new food carts opened up in the C.O. over the last year we could hardly keep up. We missed some and some of the ones we tried might not have even been new; just new to us. But we did our best! And we look forward to ordering from more in 2017! The […]
Food carts have been prevalent in Central Oregon for years now, but it wasn’t until the advent of The Lot that they started becoming almost omnipresent in Bend. Now it’s Tumalo’s turn. If you’re looking to do a food cart crawl outside Bend, this is your chance, as Tumalo now has at least eight food […]
The Tumalo Food Court, located just off Highway 20 in Tumalo, takes two of Bend’s and one of Sunriver’s most beloved eateries and puts them in one easy location. There’s not a lot of information online about the spot (in point of fact, there’s none), so here is a quick look at the three carts […]
Ever since I moved to this city in 1999 I have been on the hunt for good barbecue. Each barbecue place usually has a few great dishes, but there’s never a sense of consistency. Sometimes the burnt ends are rock hard or the pulled pork is cold, but mostly the rubs and sauces are never […]
Visit any Hawaiian island and you’re sure to walk away knowing one thing: Hawaiians love them some carbs. Most meals are piled high with macaroni salad (just “mac salad” to an islander), rice and often potato salad, along with the meat of choice. It’s a carb-y phenomenon that non-islanders might puzzle about…but if you’re a […]
I don’t often write food reviews, but anytime someone mentions “Korean” and “taco thing” in the same sentence, I’m pedaling away on my sad first-gen Diamondback faster than you can say, “Don’t forget your helmet.” With that, it wasn't long before I pulled up to EMW Fusion’s location on Cyber Drive, sad bike brakes squealing.

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 […]
