Wednesday, June 26, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 9 Two new food carts arrive in Sisters By Jodi Schneider Correspondent T he p eople -a nd- dog- friendly Food Cart Garden at Eurosports has welcomed two new food carts this sum- mer: Three Sisters Snack Shack and G Spot Foods and Catering. One common ingredi- ent for both proprietors is that everything is made from scratch. At Three Sisters Snack Shack Jeff Taber and wife Sandy Egge always start with fresh products and create food from their own recipes. Egge, a naturopathic nutritionist who heads up the research and development for Laird Superfood in Sisters, creates the healthy recipes while Taber runs the cart and is the chef. <I use my knowledge as a nutritionist and implement it into designing food because food is the way we all fuel ourselves,= said Egge. <I do this as my profession as well as bringing it here as a plat- form to serve the community and show them that healthy food really tastes great.= Besides making every- thing from scratch, Three Sisters Snack Shack uses top quality food with as many organic ingredients as possible. Taber told The Nugget, <Opening a food cart or res- taurant was a dream of ours, and when we relocated to Sisters over a year ago we vis- ited this food court, listened to the live music and noticed the incredible community feel going on here. There was an opening for this slot, and we decided to go for it.= With Taber9s background as a competitive athlete in high school, college level and then individual sports like tri- athlons, he realized that how he ate and how he approached eating was the most important factor in becoming an athlete. Taber said, <Honestly, I didn9t know as much about nutrition until I met my amaz- ing wife Sandy.= Egge added, <We realize that food can be medicine. So, we take a nutritional approach to how we prepare the food, how we source the food and how well we can make it taste.= Egge and Taber decided to take a different approach to tacos, a dish they both enjoy. <They are artisan tacos, something that you don9t find at your everyday Mexican Year-round FIREWOOD SALES PHOTO BY JODI SCHNEIDER Jeff Taber and wife Sandy Egge create good, nutritious food from scratch. restaurant,= Taber said. <Tacos and then bowls. Pretty much everything we can do with a taco we can put it into a bowl.= They substitute white corn tortillas with a brown wild rice combination with more ingredients. He noted, <One of our best sellers is our barbecue tri tip bowl and tacos. One of our most recent creations is a rosemary lemon chicken taco bowl, and we also serve veg- ans and vegetarians with our rosemary lemon bean taco bowl.= See FOOD CARTS on page 25 When life changes, you still want a place that feels like home! — Kindling — — — MEATS • CHEESES • EATERY • DRINKERY 110 S.
