THE BIG BUZZ ON OUR SMALL BUSINESSES

AUGUST 2018

Summer Fun. Here is a gallery of photos from our 2018 Fremont Fest. Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered and sponsored this incredible community event. We enjoyed a record number of attendees (over 12,000), fabulous music, good food and a first-ever full-blown kid zone jam packed with activities. Until we meet again.

Buzz

Haole Cow

It's Burger Week in Portland and look who is coming to play. Alameda Brew Pub is serving up a delicious, island-inspired patty topped with grilled SPAM and pineapple, and sriracha aioli. Only 5 bucks. Available through this Saturday.

The Down Low on Perlot

Perot has the same great Southfork owners, Eric Schindele, Casey O'Brien and Chef Patrick Mckee. Same great bartendars: Joel and Jamie. Same cozy, kick-ass bar. Same great social hour. Same great venue to hear live jazz. And still the same level of award-winning food. (So they rebranded to ditch the misnomer that they serve only Southern food and updated the front room to give it a warmer, more modern vibe.)

But here is what's really new at Perlot: An end-of-summer Pig & Oyster Roast on Sunday, August 19 from 5 to 9 pm. Enjoy Tails N Trotters Whole Roasted Pork Shoulder in Adobo and fresh shucked and roasted Oysters. Music by New Orleans native Devin Phillips. Get your tickets in advance at Eventbrite here. $35 food & music; drinks/gratuity not included.

The Heat is On

Gretchen Olsen and Danelle Denstone are heating things up at Bikram Yoga Fremont Street. First up, their new logo. Secondly an invitation for a week of free classes and a first-month pass for $39. All 90-minute beginning Bikram yoga classes are taught by certified Bikram teachers. They offer 4-5 classes per day during the week, and 3 classes on Saturday and Sunday, and are open 365 days a year. Say that three times fast. Want an amazing glimpse into the Bikram world, their community and their studio? Check out Gretchen and Danielle's powerful video here.

The Littlest Griddle

It's a girl for Little Griddle owner Yossel Gyorgak and his wife Cammie. Little Griddle is killing it on Yelp with a 5-star rating and over 125 reviews. Stop in for breakfast or brunch and you might just catch a sighting of sweet little Ruby.
