Bowls of the Gods from Kure Juice Bar. Heavenly!

You’re craving summer eats and we’ve got ’em! We deliver and cater from the best local spots, here’s a quick run down of some of our faves:

For a healthy cool pickup, order the aptly named and absolutely craveable Bowl of the Gods from Kure Juice Bar, along with any of their fresh juices or smoothies. For snacky meetings and events, we’ll bring you and your crew lush crudité trays and lunch platters from World FoodsZupans, or Green Zebra Grocery.

Choose from healthy fresh salads from Garden Bar or Súpa Sustainable Urban Deli, or Mediterranean fare from HabibiAybla Mediterranean Grill, and Wolf & Bear’s. For savory and sweet pies and my favorite kale slaw around, check out the awesome menu at Pacific Pie Company.

Fresh crudité trays from Zupans

If you’re in the mood for heartier fare, big meaty sandwiches from Charlie’s Deli never fail to satisfy. In Hawaii it is always summer so order mouth watering Kalua Pig plates from Ate-oh-Ate.

Get on the bowl bandwagon and order bowls of fresh goodness from Whole Bowl, Café Yumm! or Cha! Cha! Cha! As far as fresh and addictive goes, we are always craving the perfectly cooked chicken and rice with that ginger sauce from Nong’s Khao Man Gai. You know THAT ginger sauce. Pretty sure I’d like to pour that over everything I eat, forever.

Of course, it wouldn’t be summer without homemade local ice cream! Grab some ice cream sammies or specialty flavor tubs from Ruby Jewel.

Seize the summer and get it delivered by bike!

 

 


Twist Frozen Yogurt: Inspiring Inner Children Since Forever!

Twist FroyoIt’s 3:00 in the afternoon, and ten-year-old-you is jumping through a sprinkler while your parents chat it up on the porch with the neighbors. Your friend Jimmy gets a face-full of water balloon (classic Jimmy…) and then you hear it:

The Ice Cream Truck is coming around the corner, playing the song of summer.

There’s nothing like an ice cold dessert on a hot summer day to bring you back to yesteryear, and who better to bring it to you than Twist Frozen Yogurt? Twist features YoCream™ brand Frozen Yogurt, made locally in Portland. Unlike other brands that may include an asterisk after their name, YoCream manufactures “true” frozen yogurt, which contains real yogurt that is fermented and cultured daily on site. No corn starch, no byproducts, no asterisks whatsoever. Just simple, back-to-basics yogurt you can enjoy.

Good Times at the 2013 Alice Awards & Auction

PPP/Ninkasi Auction ItemWe had the good fortune to come by some last minute tickets to the 2013 Alice Awards & Auction, put on by the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) a couple of Sundays ago on May 4th at Pure Space in the Pearl. Now in its 18th year, the Alice Awards & Auction brings together residents, leaders, and businesses from around Oregon to honor the work of those who have made bicycling better. The event highlighted the impact the BTA has had on bicycle safety education programs and recognized the great work of some of our community leaders. All of the proceeds from the event and auctions go to support the work of the BTA.
