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. Owner Darren Rabie says that Hungry Ducks’
delivery time is a consistent 30 minutes, and delivery
fees ring in at $3.99. Check it out at hungryducks.com.
