Reality Kitchen's new food wagon trains students, feeds River Road
Reality Kitchen’s Pretzel Wagon has returned to the River Road community as Reality Bites . Equipped with a new deep fryer and options spanning shrimp po boy to fish and chips to, of course, pretzels, the bright blue carriage parked at the back of Reality Kitchen not only adds variety to the food in the area but also provides another avenue for Reality Kitchen students to practice the skills they learn in the classroom. Reality Kitchen was founded in 2010 by executive director Jim Evangelista and his wife, program director Catherine Pickup, after they left their special education jobs to address a need in the community for educational opportunities focused on teaching employment skills. It moved to its location at 645 River Road in 2013. “We’re here to provide meaningful workplace activities for individuals who experience intellectual and developmental disabilities,” Evangelista said. “We look for many different ways to be able to have them integrated into the community and to have opportunities for them to build experience that give them success in careers and directions that they’d like to go.” Wagon extends training opportunities at Reality Kitchen Pickup said the opening of Reality Bites will let students practice interacting with

Seasoned brings fine dining to old Bo & Vine space in downtown Eugene
Seasoned is elevating its offerings at the old Bo & Vine location. Since closing their burger joint, Northwest Burgers, last year to branch out their culinary offerings, Garrett and Felicia Kirsch have been hard at work to bring their fine-dining concept, Seasoned, to life. The Kirsches lifted the idea off the ground last year with a partnership operating out of Claim 52 Brewing, where they served a mix of burgers, wings and other pub food for around 200 seats. The brewery also housed Seasoned's Chef's Table, a weekly by-reservation event where patrons could enjoy a set menu of curated dishes that rotated bimonthly and has offered everything from Japanese wagyu and dry aged New York steak to potato leek soup and stuffed morels. It is offerings like these that the Kirsches are excited to continue at their independent location. "Our initial concept was more like, low numbers, high quality," Garrett said. "We kept that high quality (at Claim 52), but we also had high quantity because we had to make so much food, especially for the caterings that we had all set up for the large space. Personally, that kind of weighed on me a little bit just because we
