Grain & Gristle Will Close as the Owners Prepare to Open L’ecole - Eater Portland
"Ned Ludd co-founder Ben Meyer, Upright Brewing’s Alex Ganum, and Marcus Hoover opened Grain & Gristle in 2010; the restaurant soon became a neighborhood staple on the strength of its beer selection, affordable farm-to-table food, and inviting, relaxed atmosphere. The Whitney-Schiles took ownership in 2019, less than a year before the COVID-19 pandemic, and led the restaurant through its most challenging years." - Nathan Williams
