Word Is that once bedecked the old Oregon Electric Station, repurposed to fit Laurelwood’s antique-chic look. “It’s a historical building that now has the historical furniture to go with it,” manager Chris Erben says. The tastiest morsels in local food news BY AMY SCHNEIDER • Laurelwood Golf Course opened its new restaurant, Laurelwood Bar and Grill, earlier this summer, and now it’s serving up cocktails, thanks to its newly acquired liquor license. The open-to-the-public restaurant is decked out with six new big-screen televisions in preparation for the upcoming football season, and it’s also home to the iconic tables and chairs • We saw on Craigslist that Portland-area restaurant Killer Burger is planning to expand, including a branch in Eugene. The burger-and-fries joint serves up monster burgers, like its extravagant “Barnyard” burger with bacon, egg, ham and house-made sauce. It also offers a garden patty option for vegetarians. See its Facebook page for more updates. • You know those moments when you’re starving but can’t bring yourself to leave the house in pursuit of food? Cascadian Courier Collective offers a pedal- powered solution to that first-world problem. Give them a call at 286-5182, and a delivery person on bicycle will bring you the food you need (and more — they also deliver flowers, coffee, groceries, cat food and garden supplies). According to its Facebook page, CCC serves Eugene’s downtown, the UO campus, West Jefferson and Whiteaker neighborhoods from 8 am to 10 pm each day. See cascadiancouriers.com for pricing. • For your on-campus delivery needs, try Hungry Ducks, a service that coordinates online and delivery orders and partners with over 30 restaurants in the Eugene area, including Agate Alley Bistro, Taste of India and Maru.
