Given her emphasis on event coverage and promotional deals related to local food and drink events as well as letters to the editor, she may be interested in pitches that highlight unique or newsworthy aspects of local businesses within these sectors. Furthermore, considering her focus on promoting regional businesses through articles like "Donuts, Japanese Crepes and Boba in Downtown Redmond" or "Willamette Valley Vineyards Opens Tasting Room," public relations professionals could potentially pitch stories about new establishments or innovative concepts that align with her areas of interest.

T he Hideaway Tavern, a Bend and Redmond staple for great pub food and game-day-ready vibes, has added a new location on Bend's north side. Hideaway Empire opened last week, on the corner of Boyd Acres Road and Empire Boulevard, in the former location for Backyard Pizza.

By Nicole Vulcan I t's Sunday night, and in most quarters of Bend that would mean quiet diners, empty tables and a vibe of everything being ready to tuck into a pre-Monday slumber. But that's not the case at Ryoshi Sushi & Izakaya, located in the complex housing the Bend Factory Stores on the south side of Bend. In here, on this Sunday, we're not getting a seat at one of the tall, wood-slatted booths, or even the sushi bar. All of those spots are taken by diners who obviously are more up on the latest in the Bend culinary scene than I am.

Central Oregon Soup Company opens on east side By Nicole Vulcan A new venture is warming up bellies from Bend's east side — and helping neighbors in need while they're at it. Paul Hegg opened Central Oregon Soup Company at the beginning of November, featuring hot soups, "little dippers" — something of a combo of breadsticks and a sandwich, for dipping into soup — along with pasta salads and drinks. Soup flavors we tried included Chili, Chicken and Wild Rice, Italian Sausage Garbanzo and Spinach, Thai Peanut Curry and more.
The new menu includes a bowl and more sandwiches By Nicole Vulcan
By Nicole Vulcan A new Japanese izakaya opened Nov. 3 along Division Street in Bend. Yokocho Izakaya opened in the space once occupied by Orchid Thai, featuring small plates, ramen, curry and other Japanese food and drinks. An izakaya, according to a description from a Tokyo-based tour company, is translated as "dine-in sake shop," and is a traditional Japanese style bar that serves affordable snacks and drinks.
