Roots Opens For Lunch! Starting June 11th
We know, we know. It’s about damn time. We heard you, and have responded in a big way. We are pleased to announce that the first phase of the Roots expansion is nearly complete, and to celebrate, we offer you LUNCH! Yes, we are now open for lunch, Mondays- Fridays from 11:30 to 2:30.
In considering our lunch service, we knew that we had to do it right. Our beer kicks ass, and we knew that we had to get our food up to the same level. We’ve always made everything from scratch, using only the freshest, locally-grown, organic produce. We’ve always settled for nothing less than all-natural meats, which we hand-smoke with love. So, what could be better than that? We hired a Head Chef to run our brand-new kitchen. Allow us to introduce you to Chef Chris Helmintaler. He’s from Phoenix, Arizona. He has over twenty years of kitchen experience, ten of which as an executive chef. He’s prepared a fabulous lunch menu [hyperlink to the menu page] with all-new, healthy soups, salads, and sandwiches to tell your friends about. He’s still working on the dinner menu, which we hope to announce soon.
When asked about his new role as Head Chef at Roots, Chris replied, “I’m very excited to be a part of this new expansion of Roots and to have the opportunity to turn Roots Brewing Company into a real player in the Portland restaurant scene. You guys have already grabbed a foothold in the brewing scene and are killing it; now it’s my turn to grab a foothold for the restaurant side of things and kill it.” We want people to say, “Man! Roots has great food! It’s different from everyone else and it’s exciting.” Well, Chris, we say to you, “Welcome to Roots! We’re excited you’re here, so show us your magic and kick some ass!”
