The Best Breakfast Restaurants in Bend, Oregon | Eater Portland
"On sunny days, Chow’s customers and their dogs linger on the front patio, while in the winter they’re gathering in a bar area, or around a rugged fire pit. Funky art fills the yard: A giant fork holds the mailbox. The Chow sign is composed of metal scrap. Owner David Touvel takes the farm-to-table directive seriously; he grows his own ingredients in the restaurant’s garden. Homemade bread accompanies dishes like the Blackstone — a keto-friendly compilation of poached eggs and thick-cut bacon piled on steamed spinach and a cornmeal-crusted tomato. Regulars keep coming back for the sides of cheesy bacon cheddar grits. Sweet, juicy, fat crabby patties can be topped with eggs or served in a salad. It’s a mellow way to start the day." - Barb Gonzalez
