Last month when I blogged about the new Brother Jon’s Pub I speculated as to the whereabouts of Le Cakery, since both share the same address. Rest assured, Le Cakery is still very much alive and well, and they do indeed share building space with Brother Jon’s. Ida Gurule writes … Continue reading
The Fireside Red space (which closed for good at the beginning of May) is getting a new restaurant, according to the Bulletin: River Mill Grill, a steakhouse. The tentative opening date for River Mill Grill is July 22. [Axel] Hoch, who previously opened Le Bistro, the Old Bend Blacksmith Shop … Continue reading
I’ve seen some online chat about the movie "Food, Inc." and speculation about if and how long the movie would be in Central Oregon. It’s a documentary that "exposes America’s industrialized food system and its effect on our environment, health, economy and workers’ rights" and it opened today at the … Continue reading
I don’t know how many people know this yet—I actually saw something about it in The Source last month I think, and KOHD had a story about it—but this year’s Bend Brew Fest has been canceled.

The Pet Parade and the 4th of July were fun as always this year. I didn’t take too many pictures but I did get a good one of everyone’s favorite Parade Pet:
Even though the 4th is on Saturday, there are things happening tomorrow (the 3rd) that I’m including on the list—since it’s a long holiday weekend for many of us. Here are a bunch of events happening: First Friday Art Walk (July 3rd): Downtown hosts the monthly event where the galleries … Continue reading
A couple of notes about Deschutes Brewery, actually. First is their outdoor seating. Didn’t know they had outdoor seating? Today they Twittered: We now have OUTDOOR seating at the Bend Pub! First time EVER! Come sit outside and enjoy one of our amazing hand-crafted brews in the sun! My guess … Continue reading
