Tumalo, 1983: Nine-year-old Brian Malarkey is riding a skinny-tired 10-speed down a rocky dirt road to school. He’d already cleaned out the horse stalls at the family’s 90-acre cattle ranch and in winter, he’d have broken the ice in the animals’ water troughs. An entrepreneurial kid, he’d earned a small bundle selling Scottish terrier puppies he’d bred and was splurging on taking his family out for a steak dinner—at Beef and Brew. It was the only restaurant more exciting to him than Bend’s first McDonald’s, which opened when he was six.
It wasn’t the Central Oregon experience that draws people here today. “It was down and dirty,” said Malarkey. The first chance he got, he was off—at 17, to Portland, then Seattle, Santa Barbara, L.A., Minneapolis, and San Diego, working his way up from a chef to a serial restaurateur. After selling his first restaurant group for $25 million, he launched a second group with 10 San Diego-based concepts, including the acclaimed Herb & Wood.
Simmering on another burner throughout this time: Television — Food Network shows, Bravo’s “Top Chef,” ABC’s “The Taste,” appearances on “Good Morning America” and “Today.” While the world learned about Malarkey, he learned about the culinary world.
Coming back to Central Oregon a couple of years ago, he saw it anew. “I finally looked around. I was like, oh, my God, this is paradise. It took me a lifetime to realize I was born in paradise. I’ve been running from it my whole life.”
His brother, entrepreneur and business partner James Malarkey, piqued the restaurateur’s interest, telling him about the ways the City of Bend encouraged new businesses with programs such as opportunity zones, that offered tax incentives. The celebrity chef said he never would have considered opening a restaurant in Bend before the pandemic. But watching the success of Rancher Butcher Chef, Bosa and Bos Taurus, he thought the timing might be right. “Those are big, loud, fun restaurants.”
The pair landed on the location of a former eatery and mini-golf center on Century Drive. The name Hawkeye & Huckleberry Lounge popped into Brian’s head, a synthesis of favorites, from ranch raptors and Hawkeye Pierce of TV’s “M*A*S*H,” to his dad’s dog named Huckleberry. Plus, it’s a favorite summer fruit. “And then, of course, the greatest Western of all time, Tombstone,” he said. In the film, Val Kilmer, as gunslinger Doc Holliday, has the memorable line, “I’m your huckleberry.” The brothers let Kilmer be their spirit guide. A larger-than-life, black-and-white poster of Holliday with his trademark line, blazes in pink neon and greets guests at the door of Hawk & Huck, which opened in June.
More than 450 guests packed the grand opening, sipping everything from “rhinestone cowgirl,” concoctions involving vodka, Cocchi, strawberry, apricot, lemon and glitter to Coors Light. Large canvas tents created glamp-styled dining and lounge areas, with faux-shearling and bourbon-colored, tufted velvet swivel chairs. Each tent was named for local towns, with tables big enough to hold an entire stockyard laid out in the form of charcuterie. James wielded a flamethrower for the one-of-a-kind ribbon-cutting, and local band The Shining Dimes played Patsy Cline.
Second-hand guitars and old cowboy hats line the walls, waiting for patrons to grab them, get in the spirit and, of course, post photos on Instagram. A vintage trailer named Dolly, formerly owned by one of the players in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which the movie A League of Their Own is based on, is tucked between the stage and a spacious event room.
Malarkey recruited longtime industry collaborators and chefs Tony Torres and Carlos Anthony to carry out his ranch-to-plate culinary vision in Bend. He roped them in from endeavors in Las Vegas and San Diego respectively, letting them discover their inner cowboys while living at his family’s P-B Hawkeye Ranch. Learning what it takes for cows to go from graze to glaze is eye-opening for Torres and Anthony, self-described urban cowboys, and it’s inspiring them.
For Torres, that means menu items ranging from Oregon beef tartare and ranch aioli with hand-cut chips, lime chili rub, house pickles and roasted poblanos, to P-B Hawkeye Ranch 32-ounce porterhouse steak cooked over Oregon hardwood with a variety of sauces, from bone marrow gravy to horseradish cream. Add Dungeness crab hollandaise or fried oysters for a nod to the coast. Or, order a whole, roasted local pig two days in advance as a feast for eight.
The secret sauce, though, is engaging the entire staff in championing the story of local ranchers through every aspect of the dining experience.
“It doesn’t take a celebrity chef, it takes great people in every area, and that’s what Brian does better than anybody — he empowers you to be great — the best chef, the best bartender, the best restaurant,” said Anthony, who has competed against his mentor on Food Network’s “Superchef Grudge Match.”
Hawkeye & Huckleberry Lounge helps boost the neighborhood as a culinary zone, from The Flamingo Room and Hook & Plow to the old-school Cascade West Grub & Alehouse — Brian Malarkey appreciates them all. “And, the world’s greatest restaurant is right across the street from me — McDonald’s,” he said.

Viaggio Wine Merchant’s monthly celebration of super-fresh oysters from Washington’s Hama Hama Oyster Company accompanied by an incredible roster of perfectly paired wines, Champagne, craft beer, and European-style small plates and nibbles. Come early for the best seats and selection and find out why this party is the talk of the town each month! Shucking starts at 3pm till they’re gone. Bend’s best move for First Friday….
Dive into an innovative flavor adventure that celebrates the bounty of the land while nourishing body, soul and planet. From organic salads and sustainable steak to vegetarian immunity boosters and a vegan version of a Vietnamese classic, the intersection of culinary creativity and rebellion against the ordinary lies just outside your doorstep.
(Photo of this dish shown above, by Tina Paymaster) It’s worth knowing exactly who Mama Sandy’s Mediterranean Bowl is named for. It’s C.R.A.V.E. co-owner Sandy Egge, who has an extensive background in naturopathic nutrition. The dish, with lemon grilled chicken, house-made, creamy, roasted pine nut hummus, feta-tomato-cucumber salad, arugula and quinoa, exemplifies a menu devoted to terrific taste and great health. People don’t realize how good the dish is for them, said Egge. “It is packed with fresh oregano and thyme, things that are good for your immune system and gut health. Our focus here is, how can we bring forward really good quality food—quality vegetables, quality proteins—in a way that’s different, tasty and delicious.”
Think of the umami and crunchiness of a Bahn Mi sandwich, except it’s vegan—and in a bowl. General Manager Abi Adams created this top-selling dish with roasted cauliflower, spicy sesame sauce, spinach, house-made sriracha-cashew vegan mayo, brown rice, pickled vegetables, daikon radish, cucumber, cilantro, purple kohlrabi and avocado. “Our food is not complicated. We use simple, fresh ingredients, and we try to present them in a beautiful way,” said co-owner Leila Carter. “You eat with your eyes first.” The focus is on healthy locally grown, organic ingredients and house-made sauces and components, such as cashew ricotta pesto and nut butters. “Every time you’re eating vegan, you are helping the planet,” said Carter.
The health mantra “eat the rainbow” is so easy here, just order it! Salud’s Rainbow Salad is a color-packed celebration of organic goodness. Fresh greens, bell pepper, cabbage, cucumber, carrot, tomato, beets and sunflower and sesame seeds are crowned with tender microgreens from Deschutes Produce of Tumalo. The crowd-pleaser has been on the menu since Salud opened in 2013. “It’s huge, it’s just got all the goods on it, and it is probably the most beautiful,” said owner Corrine Coxey. “When I put that down in front of someone, it does look like a rainbow—it’s really amazing.” Delicious dressings range from lemon garlic tahini to garlicky vegan Caesar. The vegan, gluten-free and organic menu includes veggie-packed nori seaweed rolls with ingredients such as basil almond paté, maple-miso-chili dipping sauce and walnut-based “tuna” and cashew cream.
Terrebonne terroir comes into focus with Brand 44’s roasted beet salad, starring vegetables locally grown at Naturally Elevated Farm, a boutique regenerative, organic grower. Arugula, spinach, goat cheese, heirloom tomatoes, pepitas, croutons and basil-lemon vinaigrette complete the dish. “It’s the perfect meal for the patio in summertime,” said restaurant co-owner Danielle Fuller, “and definitely one of our top sellers.” The balance of the menu ranges from egg dishes, house-made pastries and vegan and gluten-free items to the mimosa tower, a 100-ounce decanter of sparkling wine with a spout and glasses filled with gummy bears. “It makes you feel like a kid again, but with a mimosa,” Fuller said.
The Wholesome Bowl here is aptly named, given the satisfying ingredients: organic brown rice, organic black and red beans, cheddar cheese, green cabbage, salsa, avocado, cilantro, seasoning, topped with Active Culture’s OG Sauce. Short for Organic Goodness, the ingredients of this flavorful sauce remain a secret, but its impact is anything but. This protein-packed signature dish is gluten-free, vegetarian, tasty and a best seller. “It’s the bowl we suggest to all our meat-eating skeptics—[to show] that vegetarian food can taste good and leave you feeling full and nourished,” said co-owner Faye Wickland. The eatery makes all of its sauces and dressings daily. Don’t miss its seasonally inspired shake specials, acai bowls and happy hour every Friday.
Every crunchy bite of Jackson’s Blue organic salad not only imparts fantastic flavors, it’s healthy for you and the planet. The freshness of Pacific Northwest apples combines with the richness of candied walnuts, Rogue Creamery blue cheese, a tart-sweet blue cheese vinaigrette and the umami of soy-glazed steak from the ranch, 2T Sustainable of Sisters. The ranchers are on horseback with the cattle daily, guiding their grazing in a way that regenerates and nurtures the land. Chris Hall, who co-owns Jackson’s Corner with his wife, Anna, said it’s always fun to see customers’ surprised looks when the cowboys come in to deliver the beef. Less surprising is how delicious it is elsewhere on the menu, including the steak sandwich, gemelli pasta with Sunday gravy, the ribeye and kids’ meatball skewers.
Peak-bagging? Don’t forget the Grand Tetons—the salad, that is. Approach the bed of guacamole, make your way through black beans, cilantro, cashew cream, nacho sauce, taco-seasoned almond crumble, cherry tomatoes and green onion, then attack the “summit” made of house-made flax-carrot-chive crackers. “They’re really delicious and hearty with our nacho sauce—a spicy cashew sauce,” said manager Lila Klemroth. “They’re fun, deconstructed nachos.” Everything here is vegan, organic and gluten-free, not to mention soy-free, and decadent, too. For instance, the Big Bear gluten-free waffle is topped with whipped almond butter, whipped coconut cream, syrup, banana and candied coconut. “It’s delicious and creamy, but without any of the dairy,” she explained.

Join High Desert Food & Farm Alliance as as they speak (virtually) with Orlando Martín López Gómez about issues faced across North America regarding food security, including community solutions. His contagious energy will be sure to engage you and get you excited about working together to eradicate hunger.
Why can’t farmers and farm workers afford to put food on the table? How do the very people that grow our food go hungry? High Desert Food and Farm Alliance is honored to welcome Jillian Hishaw to the (virtual) stage as she talks about the work she is doing in farming communities to reduce rates of food insecurity. Rural hunger is often a forgotten topic of focus in farming communities. According to the USDA, 84% of U.S. counties with the highest percentage of childhood hunger are rural. Through F.A.R.M.S., Hishaw has focused on procuring and donating produce in rural farming communities over the past eight years. Over one million pounds of produce have been donated in and outside of the US. The importance of infrastructure in rural communities and communal resolutions are essential to rural America’s revitalization.
Funding for this event is provided through a USDA Community Food Projects (CFP) grant.
