On the menu for our next CitySpeak program, local restaurateurs serve up a birdseye view of their industry – past, present and future. And, we’ll also get a peek at supply chains, labor issues, delivery apps, and maybe, just what makes a great restaurant the kind of place that becomes one of your favorites.
These professionals see the general public at their best and worst – the intricate dance between people, and food and drink, and the way we all relate to each other during a meal out.
Dishing for this post-election palette-cleanser:
- Evan Deffenbacher, General Manager at Castor
- Greg Little, Owner of Squirrel’s Tavern
- Morgan Orr, Owner of The Brass Monkey
- Michele Renee Colomb, food and drink journalist and founder of Corvallis Culinary Connections
Slated for Tuesday, May 24
Starting at 6:30 p.m., the forum is a unique opportunity to ask restaurateurs everything you’ve always wanted to know about the industry and maybe get some pro tips. Of course, you’re also welcome to just listen in for the conversation. As always, generous time is allotted for questions from the public.
Moderators are City Club President Steven J. Schultz and Advocate Assistant Editor Emilie Ratcliff.
