Just about every culture has some kind of historical connection to meats prepared and then wrapped in bread. Cooking the meat, then covering it in an edible dough both protected the meat and helped it last longer, which was important in an age without refrigeration and when individuals were traveling for weeks (or months) and fresh food wasn’t readily available. Historically, this method of transporting meat originated in the Middle East, before spreading through Europe. The empanada was birthed in Spain (then passed to the Americas, where most countries make a different variation of the food), and in England, it became known as a pasty. Now, a popular restaurant in metro Phoenix has plans on making its own expansion in the Valley.

Touring musicians must carry their musical equipment with them while on the road. In practical terms, this means storing their musical equipment in their vans and vehicles while sleeping, eating, and visiting the cities they are traveling through or playing in. While this sounds simple enough, in Portland it has been a challenge for more than just one band or musician.
