Donations to that fund will

“They looked at me like
I was growing a third ear.
They said, ‘that sounds like
stoner food,’” Parker told
The Oregonian for a 2015
story on the secret history
of the totcho. “They were
humoring me to put them
on the menu, but it ended
up being one of our most
ordered items.”
From there, totchos went
on to star on bar and brew-
pub menus across the nation.
After Oaks Bottom,
Parker worked or helped
open Concordia Ale House,
