theme is carried into the menu, though
McFadyen wishes to assure us that the style of
food remains basically the same as always. All
food is prepared fresh and on the premises, and
no doubt your particular favorite is still avail
able.
W hen asked about the travel theme, the new
owner and Oregon native says: “I have never
been anywhere in my adult life.”
The proud new owner of Byways is also a
proud and out lesbian.
“As new owner the first thing I did was stick
a rainbow flag on the door,” she says.
Working beside her in the restaurant is her
girlfriend of five years, Megan Brinkley.
Byways remains the “anti-hip” destination
spot in the trendy Pearl. The clientele is a mix
of gays and straights and is reflective of the peo
ple who live in the area, not necessarily those
who pass through to shop and visit.
Oh, yes, and what about all those salt and
pepper shakers— hundreds and hundreds of salt
and pepper shakers? They are all lovingly
packed away in the basement of the original
owner of Shakers, as part of a large personal col
lection.
So, true there are no more shakers, but the
owner is friendly, the food is wonderful, and the
decor is fascinating and will make you yearn for
the open road. Best start your trip on a full stom
ach!
