The Best Restaurants in Bend, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Spork has become a community staple since its inception as a food cart in 2009 and its transformation into a restaurant in 2013. Owner Jeff Hunt has created a menu that is a delightful fusion of global-inspired comfort food, meticulously prepared from scratch in a welcoming, casual setting. Hunt has been inspired by his world travels that he brings home infusing the menu with unique flavors crafted with the fresh ingredients featuring standout dishes like coconut green curry and the (not very) spicy pork noodles, which boast a symphony of textures from crispy fried garlic to bitter fresh herbs and a tangy housemade nuoc cham sauce. Diners can also indulge in a variety of tacos, chilaquiles, and lomo saltado. With a commitment to sustainability and keeping food prices accessible, Spork starts with counter ordering, but diners enjoy attentive, heartfelt service once seated." - Barb Gonzalez
