General Manager - Pine Tavern
 $5 Salad Bar for Lunch. Quick and Easy First off I would like to say ‘hello’ to everyone in Internet land on behalf of our entire staff here at Pine Tavern. This is the first of many more entries I’ll be writing on BendNights.com.
This first story is to let you know about our $5 lunch salad bar. Our selections of salad items are fresh, crisp, and delicious. It’s a great way to eat healthy, it’s fast, and tastes a lot better than fast food.
While I’m talking about $5 lunch time menu items, I should also mention we serve our classic Pine Tavern Burger for $5 every Wednesday. It’s a half-bound burger, fresh veggies, on a kaiser roll. (Actually, I just saw someone at BN already wrote about it, click here.)

Business Manager of 900 Wall Restaurant
 Not the actual pig. He was unavailable. Over the summer, 900 Wall Restaurant & Bar purchased a pig in an attempt to gain a better appreciation of where our food comes from and the processes involved to get the product from the farm to the table.
We decided on purchasing a Tamworth Pig which is a heritage breed that is regarded for its great hardiness with respect to adverse climates.
The Tamworth is sometimes called the bacon pigbecause of its favorable high meat to low fat ratio. The pig was fed a diet consisting of dairy products from Eberhard’s Dairy in Redmond, bread from LaVoy Bakery here in Bend and our own vegetable trimmings generated here in the restaurant. Our pig was raised without the addition of (more…)

 2010 Bend WinterFest | Feb 12 - 14, 2010 While it seems a little like Spring all over Bend, we’re still in the heart of Winter. To get yourself back in the Wintery swing of things, gather the crew together and head over to one of Bend’s finest events, the 2010 Bend WinterFest.
This year’s event will be, once again, hosted at the Shops at the Old Mill, February 12-14th. The WF is an annual three-day festival of snow sports, demonstrations, music, wine, and food. I remember the days the event was hosted downtown, which was my personal favorite. I like the whole old-school vibe that downtown exudes. Plus, it was a nice little boost for the locally-owned downtown businesses, but I get the reason for the switch. (more…)
