⭐️ Lisa Nelson on Pat:

“Pat has single-handedly elevated the local food economy here and continues to do so, tirelessly. Without losing his integrity or enthusiasm.”

🌈 Pat‘s vision for the Tri-Cities

“I’d like to see us develop a unique flavor when it comes to food. I’ve always enjoyed traveling to central Oregon because there were traditionally restaurants you'd only find there that had become local chains. People understood the character. They also understood a local business returns more to the local economy in most cases.”
