Portland, Oregon, a mecca for innovative restaurants, we create high quality
websites and e-mail blasts to help market your business. We pride ourselves
on giving our clients prompt, personalized service and create customized

From Willamette Week: When most people wanna say thanks, they send a card or an email. When Micah Camden wants to say thanks, he makes the whole city dinner. Camden is the goofy, endearingly bloviating restaurant honcho and chef behind not two, not three, but four restaurants crowded around the intersection of Northeast Killingsworth Street and 30th Avenue. The 30-year-old former L.A. makeup artist often explains that he shifted gears from faces to food after seeing chef Todd English celebrated as one of "Sexiest Men in America" in a magazine ("he was up there with Tom frickin’ Cruise"). But Camden’s not all jokes. The self-taught chef has also managed to open a quartet of well-regarded eateries—and keep them running—in a market where other owners are struggling to keep one afloat: Three years ago, he started with Japanese pub Yakuza; in 2007, Beast, the prix fixe dinner house he co-owns with chef Naomi Pomeroy (Camden is not involved in the kitchen at Beast), moved in next door. Italian kitchen DOC debuted in 2008 a block down 30th Avenue, and just this summer, his British pub called Fats took over the corner spot Grolla once called home. This Monday, Camden and his biz partner Dayna McErlean celebrate the "birthdays" of all four operations by throwing open the doors of Yakuza, DOC and Fats to Portland at large, and offering free food and cheap drinks for all, from free sushi and "killer" mini Kobe beef burgers to Italian crostini and Scotch eggs.

From Byran Beck's blog: As first reported here the good folks at Roux are in for a very busy summer.
Although, as with any new project-especially during trying economic times-it's not going, well, exactly to plan. First off, you know that swank foodie shack that Roux will operate in the brand new park that's scheduled to open later this summer on SW Taylor and Park Streets? Well, it's going through a name change. Instead of going by the name Viola (which sounds way to similar to the lunch spot near another downtown park), the new name of the Danny Meyer-ish space will be Violetta. Serving patrons of Directors Park from morning until late in the evening I've seen the menu and, let's just say, O.M.G. does it look tasty. Can't wait to get my mouth around some of Violetta's Smoked Ham and Grits. Yum.MAY 2009
