NEW S E A S O N S IN TR O D U C IN G OUR NEW SIGNATURE Putted Pork. Sartdidch We’re passionate about the products we use in our kitchens - wild, line-caught Pacific Northwest salmon, Oregon raised pork and lamb, organic milk and cream, and local, organically grown produce. This week, we’re introducing our signature Pulled Pork Sandwich, a traditional Southern favorite. It’s available in our deli and made from naturally raised, locally grown pork that’s seasoned, slowly roasted until fork tender, and finished off in our homemade barbecue sauce. We top it off with our slaw and serve it on a freshly baked organic roll from our in-store bakery. In the true Oregon tradition you can enjoy this sandwich and help fight hunger at the same time. For the next seven days we’ll donate $1 from each Pulled Pork Sandwich that we sell to Share Our Strength. We’ll also be serving this delicious sandwich at our Share Our Strength benefit barbecue this weekend. SATURDAY & SUNDAY 1 1 :00AM -5:00PM _____________ rke- fruendtiest- sfare iti Pnati.
