One Year In: The Places We Lost | Eater Portland
"We closed in December 2020 after trying meal kits and focusing on Instagram and direct-to-consumer sales, engaging customers about timing and add-ons like miso chocolate chip cookies; we learned a lot about what travels well—sometimes intentionally undercooking halibut wrapped in banana leaf to account for a 20-minute trip—and realized that the communal, big-table dining experience we had built would be difficult to sustain in a pandemic, even as the emotional toll of displacing staff weighed heavily." - Molly J. Smith
