Baitong on wheels

“The food truck that everyone talks about” pretty bold tag line, but nothing they can’t back up. Located in the River’s Place food cart & tap house, BoW was one of 5 local carts available. I was on my way to Nik’s Snacks, but unfortunately Nik was closed that day, but I’m glad BoW was there to back him up.

Menu

With classic Thai offerings, I was immediately drawn to the crispy garlic chicken $10.95 , crispy fried chicken in homemade honey garlic sauce topped with fried basil and chopped bell peppers with a side of rice.

Crispy garlic chicken

Wow, this was perfectly cooked white rice, crispy chicken with enough sauce to keep the rice company while you pair a fried basil leaf with a perfectly portion sized bite of chicken. This is a Rexamendated dish 💯!

When I first saw my plate, I was a little underwhelmed by the amount of food, being 6’4” and 260 lbs I though my I’d end up needing an additional snack after lunch, but boy did that rice fill me up fast, and it was easy to finish the whole meal and feel satisfied.

Thai Iced Tea $4, the first time I had a Thai Iced Tea I knew I was in love. There’s just something about a nice iced thirst quenching Thai tea that does wonders on a nice sunny day, and Bow makes an excellent tea to compliment your meal if it’s a touch too early for a🍺 .

This is a must visit if you are a Thai Food connoisseur, or wanting to try an entry level Thai dish for the first time. Mmm

Cabin 22 Bar and Grill

Advertisements

We decided to go have lunch at Cabin 22 before seeing The Kings’ Man at the Regal Theater.

We opted to sit at the outside patio where there were some nice big tables and chairs with propane fire columns and large round fire pits to sit around with while having some libations.

Look at the fire pit and seating over a BlackBerry Cucumber Mojito.

Beer: I started out with a FivePine Chocolate Porter from Three Creeks Brewing Company ($7), based on the recommendation of our waitress, Shannon, based off of my burger selection. It was a refreshing, dark, sweet, chocolaty treat. Check out my review on Untapped https://untp.beer/Ne71A

FivePine Chocolate Porter from Three Creeks Brewing Company

Our burgers came out shortly after order which is always a good sign.

Lunch: Winter Signature Burger ($17.95) Prosciutto Chip, Goat Cheese, Sweet Potato Crisps and a Balsamic Glaze.

All Burgers Served with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion & Kosher Pickle on Big Eds Pretzel Bun Served with Cabin Dipper Fries or Cajun Tots.

Winter Signature Burger

I thoroughly enjoyed this burger, although none of the burgers ordered were cooked to the temperature asked (they all look cooked medium well) we all enjoyed. Specifically I liked that my burger came with the right amount of cheese, enough to let you know it was there, but not too much that it was over powering. The crisps were a nice addition, but unfortunately I didn’t get any hint of balsamic glaze. the Cajun Tots were crisp, and well seasoned with a flavorful but not overpowering cajun rub. One last thing of note, the cabin dipper French fries were pretty cool, they were like French fry scoops and I’d recommend them as well.

With a nice selection of beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails and burgers, pizza, and sandwiches, Cabin 22 is a rexamendation 100%.

Monkless Belgian Ales

Let’s get this right out of the way. Monkless is 100% my favorite brewery in Bend. There I said it, this place provides the beer that I like to drink, now we need to know does the food hold up to the high bar set from the ales?

We decided to do a date night at Monkless at their new (to us) location on the Deschutes River where the patio overlooked the Les Schwab Hayden Homes Amphitheater. We had little lunch and a flight of beers on the patio, the wind was howling and menu’s were flying, but overall it was a good experience. We even got a 5th anniversary cup as well!

Lunch: For my main lunch dish I went with the Pork Schnitzel Plate ($19) Pounded thin, hand breaded and fried pork cutlet, herb & butter noodles, caraway smoked cabbage, mustard cream sauce. I was impressed with the amount of food offered on the dish, and enjoyed the smoked cabbage as a side with the pork & noodle combination. I’m rexcited to go back and see what else is on the menu!

I’d say that Monkless is a spot you should check out, be it on the patio having a few beers or a flight in the summer, or enjoy their indoor seating and atmosphere as well.
