"I was constantly going there as a teenager; Du’s is such a staple in Portland that it even shows up in my work — it’s written in chalk on the blackboard in the “Blackjack” video and I mention it by name in “Turf.” On my 18th birthday I had no plans, so my friends and I went there, grabbed chicken and rice, headed to Grant Park, and I remember being in a sentimental mood that night — it’s a place tied to memories for me." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
