"Farm Spirit alumni Kei Ohdera and HJ Schaible butcher, roast, smoke, and brine all of the Oregon-raised meats used in this Alberta Street restaurant’s sandwiches, which are often paired with Oregon-grown produce and house-made condiments. The resulting sandwiches are mind-blowing: a tender and delicate pastrami serves as the foundation for the shop’s Reuben, while roasted pork coppa can be found in the restaurant’s loose interpretation of a Cubano. It is practically impossible to go wrong here, but Pasture’s O.G. — something sort of like a banh mi with house pastrami and Oregon hazelnut chile oil — never misses." - Alex Frane
