If there is any event to be excited about this fall in Bend’s culinary scene, this is it. DRAKE is hosting the fifth stop on a nationwide tour promoting James Beard Award-winning author Hank Shaw’s third cookbook, “Buck, Buck, Moose: Recipes and Techniques for Cooking Deer, Elk, Moose, Antelope and Other Antlered Things.” The comprehensive […]
I hate to break it to you, but summer is almost over. School is starting back up, the laid-back-casual mentality is coming to a close, and the busy-busy mode is now the only gear you’ve got. It’s common for things to fall out of rhythm; laundry becomes a distant memory that you now consider a […]
Summer might be ending, but beer events continue to downpour across all of Oregon. The Bend Brewfest has ended, yes, but it won’t be long before both Sisters and Hood River hold their respective fresh-hop beer festivals, for example. (And speaking of Hood River, Crow's Feet Commons is holding an event this Thursday, Sept. 1, […]
Jared Rasic: Normally when we’re headed into a restaurant to review food for the Chow section, we try as many dishes as possible. It allows us to get a varied sampling of the menu to write about and, selfishly, to have plenty of delicious delectables to mow down upon. At Olde Towne Pizza, however, one […]
Humm introduces Blue Wave: The Official Kombucha of the Seattle Seahawks Yes, you read that right. Kombucha went pro. It’s no surprise that super-progressive Seattle is home of the first pro team with an official kombucha. Don’t believe it? Look at the label.

It is a surprise, however, that one of them has a connection right here in Central Oregon. Jing-A Brewing Co., which opened its own facility and taproom in China’s capital a couple years ago after a […]
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. Located outside of Aspect Boards & Brews on NW Galveston, now Voorhees is able to expand his business. Where? To Hawaii. Kona, on the Big Island, is an even bigger […]
The paddleboard’s been paddled, the lake swum in, the trail hiked, an unduly large number of food-stall dumplings consumed; now it’s time to cap off the summer with some beer. 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 […]
Have you had fried rice before? Oh, you have? NO! NO! You are wrong! You have never had fried rice until you’ve eaten Pono Farm’s Fried Rice. Heck, you haven’t even lived until you have had their insanely addictive, bacon-fat-and-meat-flurried-fluffy-rice-and-what-is-that? A-shred-of-carrot? Oh-this-is-healthy! …fried-rice dish. Pono Farm & Fine Meats is a magical place where cows […]
