At Bend Premier, we are always on the hunt for the next best bite in Bend, and today, we found an absolute gem. Tucked away in the back side of the popular Box Factory above The Old Mill, Valentine's Deli does have some "Seriously Good Sandwiches."

When it comes to vegetarian options, we always look for big flavor and an experience that makes you forget there is no meat. The Sierra sandwich at Valentine's Deli did just that. Each bite was an explosion of flavor and had me going back for more. This sandwich was toasted to perfection, giving a nice aromatic experience before even taking a bite. Featuring sun dried tomatoes, provolone, black olives, pepperoncini, arugula, lettuce, onion, tomato and red wine vinaigrette, this sandwich was packed with so many good flavors that married perfectly. We would highly recommend this sandwich to veggie and meat lovers alike.

I'm going to share a little secret with you. Stihl Whisky Bar is the new hot spot.

In Bend, sometimes its all about brunch. This fresh menu and iconic setting will stun you. After visiting Stihl Whisky Bar for several happy hour sessions we noticed that they'd started doing Brunch! Obviously we had to go check it out and we were blown away. Not only were there some great twists of brunch classics, there also was no wait! This is Bend's best kept secret and it wont stay that way for long.

Which dish was our favorite? That's hard to say. Each item we ordered had stand-alone qualities that would leave any brunch goer thrilled. Lets dive into what we ordered!

The biscuits and gravy, even without eggs, is INCREDIBLE. Wow, we didn't know you could take a classic and redefine what it should taste like. This is a dish you could literally eat everyday. Mezcal-...

After reading the Source's Restaurant Guide 2020, we had to try Aina Kauai Style Grill.  Named as Rookie Food Cart of the Year, we have to say their products did not disappoint. Located in the food cart lot associated with Bevel Brewing off Armour Road, this little tucked away gem is a Must this summer. 

We tried the Crunchy Poke bowl and the Kalua Pork. Here is the breakdown:

The Crunchy Poke bowl was incredible. The fish was fresh, the sauce used had a slight kick, the fried shrimp created a great crunch, and the kimchi and fermented veggies added a little authentic Japanese twist! For $16 we had a little piece of Hawaiian paradise right here in Central Oregon.

As for the kalua pork? Wow. Everything you'd expect and more. With a side of rice, macaroni, and a little treat of some tuna poke- this dish was fabulous.

We'd highly re...

After hearing about a new taco shop on the westside, we had to go check it out. Our initial reservation was easily changed after having a great talk with the cashier - a Southerner who had moved to Bend Oregon for the lifestyle and change from the American South.

After perusing the menu, it was decided that 1) We needed to try the margaritas, because it was a very warm day outside. And 2) The El Pastor taco was a must, and came highly recommended by our new friend. 

The result? A great outdoor patio experience! While this location appears close to Century drive, the shrubbery and trees truly block out any loud road noises. We were able to have a great conversation, at a normal decibel level.

The margaritas were refreshing, and for the size reasonably priced. We had the traditional which was on the slightly sweet side but very welcome in the...

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!
