Salem bagel shop opens commercial kitchen to meet demand

This is part of a weekly series introducing readers to individuals who are passionate about our Mid-Valley community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, as the world began shutting down, a Salem baker with free time on her hands and a love for bagels decided to pivot to making the rounds. After attending the French Culinary Institute in New York, now called the Institute of Culinary Education, and working across several New York bakeries and later in the wine industry, Lauren Fuhrman-Burch said these experiences helped her determine bread-making is her passion. After perfecting her craft and making hundreds of bagels in the process, the plain Jane was born, Fuhrman-Burch's take on a plain bagel. In 2021, she founded Best Coast Bagels to share her love for bagels with Salemites after struggling to find a boiled and baked New York-style bagel in Salem. "I remember my first week selling bagels on Instagram, and pretty much only my friends in the wine industry were buying them. And I was mixing the bagels and thinking, man, I'm making 36 bagels," she said. Now, Fuhrman-Burch said she's looking for a mixer that's able to hold over 200 bagels in a single mix.

Small Bites: Santa Clones, Pintxes Pintxos, Tambayan, and More

The Santa Clones are coming and for this occasion we can tell you where they are. When Chris Willis sets up the Santa Clones each year, he usually gives you clues with which to find them. But that doesn’t usually happen until early December, so I suspect that adventure is still coming. This weekend, though, the Clones are heading to a party tomorrow at Gigantic Brewing’s Barrel Room to celebrate a beer collab among Chris Willis, Weird Portland United, and Gigantic.

Portland’s Best Cozy Bars for the Winter

While Portland summers are idyllic and sunny, and our autumns are heralded by explosions of crimson and gold across the city, our winters can get downright grim. We don’t often freeze solid like a Midwestern city, but when the sun sets in the early afternoon and the days are filled with gloomy clouds and a constant icy drip, winters can be punishing. But that’s why we have bars, especially those warm, welcoming spots with firepits and hot toddies and hearty meals to drive out the chill and the brutal malaise. Some places offer year-round comfort, while others bring festive joy with holiday pop-ups and themes. Here are some picks for our favorite cozy, wintry bars.
