Four Things I Learned This Week (February 7) in Portland Food

Culmination Brewing Company is shuttering. Unfortunately, Culmination Brewing will close both their brewery and taproom. The reasons? Economics and the linger COVID pandemic effects: “We never fully recovered from the financial challenges that COVID brought us despite Herculean efforts by our incredible staff and our amazing brewers Daniel Hughes and Andy Scott.” The last day to enjoy their beer is Saturday, February 15. Fomo Kitchen will also be there at the taproom. 2117 NE Oregon Street, Portland

Union on Hawthorne is open. Steeplejack Beer announced the opening of their location on SE Hawthorne and 38th Avenue. This is the building that burned in December 2022. But the good folks at Steeplejack ave turned this space around and are sharing it with Harder Day Coffee Company and Musette bakery. There will be some food carts, too. They’ll be open 7am to 4pm for coffee, 11am to 9pm for beer. 3757 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland

Dick’s Primal Burger launches breakfast. They started their breakfast service in late January, and you can access it on the weekends from 8am to 11am. Look for waffles (GF) biscuits & gravy, avocado toast, scrambles, bowls, and more, including coffee and mimosas. Bread products all have gluten-free options. 4905 SE Woodstock Blvd, Portland

Monty’s Red Sauce is open. After months of preparation, this east coast Italian-American red sauce joint will serve dinner nightly. “Heaping portions, cozy booths, big space, long bar, all perfect for date night to big groups and everything in between.” You can make a reservation or just walk in between 5pm and 9pm. 6716 SE Milwaukie Avenue, Portland

Nico’s Cantina Coming to Cully?

Recently on the Nico’s Ice Cream Instagram, Nico posted a photo of himself in front of the old Dick’s Primal Burgers space at 4318 NE Cully Blvd, looking very happy and satisfied. The handle @nicoscantina was in there, too. So does that mean Nico is expanding his delicious ice cream empire to a delicious non-ice-cream restaurant/cantina?

That’s a good guess. The Nico’s Cantina Instagram says “A place to gather. Opening August 2022.” Sounds good to me—that space on Cully Blvd is great, with a lovely patio out back, and the neighborhood deserves to have something excellent in that space. I am confident Nico could bring that to Cully. We’ll keep an eye on it here and hopefully bring you more good news.

Four Things I Learned This Week (April 15)

Gartner’s interior is closing for a bit. Gartner’s Country Meat Market in Cully is going to close their shop space for 3 to 4 weeks starting this coming Monday, April 18. They’ll be working on some upgrades and maintenance on the interior, but curbside pickup and local delivery will still go on. Good luck to them with all the new changes. 7450 NE Killingsworth Street, Portland

News to me: Decarli is moving. It’s probably old news but I just learned this week that Beaverton restaurant Decarli will be moving to the old Hometown Buffet space on Southwest Hall Blvd. The new space is larger than they need now but it allows them room to grow. The move is slated for “spring 2022,” according to their website, so they should be there any time now. 4545 SW Watson Avenue, Beaverton (currently), 3790 SW Hall Blvd, Beaverton (future)

Dick’s Primal Burger is now open on N Williams. I was sorry to see Dick’s Primal Burger leave Cully, but that’s how things go sometimes. They are now open in their new N. Williams home and will be open from 11am to 9pm “every damn day.” Get yourself a bag of Dick’s, North Portland! Now… to find out what’s going to happen to their old space in Cully. 4120 N Williams Avenue, Portland

Update on Grant Park food carts. From the GPNA newsletter: “The 6-cart food cart pod at 3505 NE Broadway is currently on hold. However, the permit for the 12-cart food cart pod at 3550 NE Broadway (formerly Burger King) is expected to be approved in the next month
or two. The architect says that construction on that pod will begin as soon as the permit is in hand, with an opening expected in late spring or early summer.”

Bonus: Remember that Rabbit Hole in Montavilla is having their soft opening tomorrow, Saturday April 16. And in Sellwood, Maeve’s grand opening party is also on Saturday, April 16 from 4-8pm.

I also want to acknowledge three important faith holidays around this time: Ramadan, Passover, and Easter (4/17 for the Western church and 4/24 for the Orthodox church). So I send my greetings out to those of you who celebrate: Ramadan Mubarak, Happy Passover/Chag Sameach, and Happy Easter!

5. Trela, a Greek Taverna & Bar, to Open in Former O’Neill Public House Space

Ever since I heard about a new Greek restaurant opening up in the North Tabor neighborhood, I’ve been keeping an eye out for any news confirming the word-of-mouth details I encountered last year. Earlier this month a neighbor posted online a picture of the OLCC Public Notice affixed to the exterior of 6000 NE Glisan, and I knew this was it. The new restaurant is called Trela (or “tréla” on the logo), and I’m eagerly anticipating its opening.
