Not a new Northwest inspired cologne (though, maybe Pendleton would be interested?), but a menu change at the formerly underwhelming Doug Fir. Chris Israel, the James-Beard-nominated chef at Gruner (and formerly 23 Hoyt, Zefiro, Saucebox, etc.), has revamped the restaurant’s food offerings. According to Israel, there’ll be new recipes, cooking styles, and better ingredients (think Newman’s fish, Grand Central bread, Painted Hills beef, and Neuske’s bacon).
I’ll be interested to see how the change works out.
I’m so out of the loop that I had no idea there was such a thing as Newman’s Own fish. (Insert crappie joke here.)
But…but THEY WILL STILL HAVE CHEESE FRIES RIGHT?
Whoa whoa, this better not change their best-in-town happy hour menu.
