Each week Bend Premier Real Estate is adopting a local restaurant and this week we are featuring Bend Burger Company just in time for May's Burger Month! We had the opportunity to try two of their fabulous burgers and sides for lunch yesterday and the quality did not disappoint! Bend Burger Company is not "fast food", but rather some of the tastiest and freshest burgers in Bend.

We ordered a Broken Top Hamburger which featured clue cheese and bacon with a side of sweet potato tater tots as well as a Deschutes River Hamburger which featured ham, pineapple, teriyaki sauce and a side of hand cut french fires. Both burgers were cooked for perfection and offered large portions that could easily be shared.
Thank you Bend Burger Company for the delicious lunch and we look forward to our next visit!
Is summer here already?! This weekend is going to be HOT HOT HOT! And You know what that means…WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!.. or gelato, we're not super picky. Here are our two recommendations for a tasty cool treat this weekend:
Bonta, a Bend local artisan Gelato shop is open for take out and delivery. Don't sweat this weekend without a cool sweet treat. They're offering scooped cups, pints, half gallons and gelato cookie sandwiches. We'd recommend getting stocking up with their 3 for $20 deal-which includes free delivery, you don't even have leave the house! Off their flavor menu our current favorites are of course the Dulce de Leche with Sea Salt, Stracciatella, and Tumalo Lavender and Honey. Looking for a different flavor? Go check out their menu online for the full list! Ps- They also have gluten free, and vegan options!

Culture is a paramount piece of the Central Oregon community. During this temporary shut down it may feel like our community is losing its culture, but this situation is just challenging us to build something new. Here at Bend Premier Real Estate, we see the affects that COVID-19 is having on our community and we've decided to take this culture challenge and turn it into a platform to build upon.
What is Central Oregon Culture? While this is different for each individual, we think it is safe to say that collectively we love our outdoors and being active. And with the weather turning in our favor, most of us are getting outside to bike, hike, run, and explore. But we know that the first few rides, hikes, and runs can welcome a new soreness we haven't felt in sometime.
Most of us understand that muscle damage is part of exercise, whether you feel it today or tomorrow, it's just an aspect of pushing your body further and growing stronger. While injuries, tenderness, and soreness are prevalent in our active community, we understand that sometimes we need to relax, stretch, or fuel our bodies back to recovery so that we can get back to our sports and training as soon as possible. A huge factor in preventative, and recovery is nutrition.
While nutrition can be an intimidating topic for some, our friends at Fix & Repeat are on top of your nutritional needs in the form of bowls, smoothies, juices, and more. This company embodies the culture of Central Oregon. They provide their customers with the fuel needed for vitality, recovery, and do it in a sustainable manner. We are starting to call them the, "Do good, Eat good, Feel good" restaurant. Their diverse menu is focused on plant based meals. Each menu item has ingredients associated with a whole gamut of health benefits.
Some ingredients used are packed with macro and/or micro nutrients geared towards repairing muscle damage, free-radical fighting, and immunity boosting. All items are made to order, with the freshest ingredients possible. While these dishes are good for the body, they're also good for the soul. A portion of monthly sales are donated to various organizations and charities that align with Fix & Repeat's beliefs.
If you have not already checked out this restaurant, we highly recommend it! They are open 7 days a week from 10 am-3 pm. Ask for Leila or Kristen- those ladies know their stuff about plant-based benefits, and are so welcoming!
Suggestions you ask? We've recently tried the Rice bowl, Traditional Bowl, Mango Pride smoothie, and the Tropical Mango smoothie bowl, and we recommend all of them. Each meal provided us with different bold, dynamic, and fresh flavors, and the presentation alone was incredible.
Please help us continue to support local businesses such as Fix & Repeat during this uncertain time. You won't regret it!

A Downtown Bend fixture for many years, Joolz markets themselves "Where the Middle East Meets the Wild West". Their blend of Middle East cuisine with Southwestern overtones creates a great dining experience that has been popular to Bendites for some time.
As part of Bend Premier Real Estate's Adopt a Bend Oregon Restaurant during the Covid-19 pandemic, we ordered two takeout meals from Joolz last evening. We had Oregon Beef Shawarma featuring rubbed Oregon beef, grilled onions, hummus, tabbouleh, Armenian pickles and grilled naan. We also had Chicken Kabobs over rice with grilled vegetables. Both meals were excellent and very filling. Dessert was not an option f...

Date night is such an important part of relationships. It's time that is actively allocated to spend with those that bring joy to your life. Don't let this quarantine dull your connection. Whether it's making a meal at home together, or dining together over video chat, make it special for your special ones.
If you're having an arduous time figuring out what to do, we've got a few suggestions. One of our favorite COVID-19 Date Night plans includes Jackson's Corner's "Pizza Kit". Only $20 to make two 14 inch pepperoni pizzas! Take this fun kit home; not only is it a scrumptious meal but also some great quality time in the kitchen.
