Bourbon Dinner, Thursday, February 23, at 6 p.m.—Join us for our three-course Bourbon Dinner in February! Why bourbon? Because it’s all-American. Because it takes at least two years to age in charred oak barrels. Because it’s still winter and we are craving that smoky, caramel toned spirit that pairs perfectly with food! Think molasses, vanilla, pecans, cinnamon, brown sugar—these notes in bourbon set the stage for a memorable evening of food and cheers! Watch Chef Josh’s blog for the menu.

PORTLAND—It’s celebration time at Salty’s on the Columbia! “It’s hard to believe we opened 24 years ago this month. Time flies when you are serving seafood, steaks and smiles,” remarks Linda Addy, Salty’s managing partner and general manager. Linda has been smiling at Salty’s for 10 of those 24 years. She wants to thank Portlanders and Vancouverites for their loyalty. To celebrate, she invites you to join in for 24 days of fun, from October 1 to 24. 
PORTLAND—Sometimes referred to as Beertown, the Portland metro area is home to more breweries than any other city in the United States.

Have you dreamed of having the tricks to throw bottles like Tom Cruise in the movie Cocktail? Want to be the star of your next dinner party? Okay, we don’t know how to throw bottles from our elbows, but we can share the trade secrets of a well-received, memorable, balanced bar drink!

SEATTLE AND PORTLAND—Mark a big “Salty’s” on your calendar for Thursday night, the 6th of October, because this is one night you won’t want to miss. It’s an old-fashioned Clam Boil starting at 5:30 p.m. The clams are fresh and tasty from our local waters and our chefs will boil them up with local corn, sweet onions, potatoes and mirepoix (the wonderful French flavor base of carrots, celery, onions). It’s all about seafood and it’s in honor of our October “Aw Shucks” Amorous Oysters Festival. It’s served with Salty’s world-famous seafood chowder chock full of scallops, clams, bay shrimp and bacon. It comes with our Kicked-Up Caesar Salad with creamy dressing, ground Parmesan and lemon relish. Top it off with some great crusty bread for dipping. Then wash it all down with a pint of

Meet farmer Sue Tellefson from Plant’s Beautiful and winemaker Andrew Rich (pictured here) at this not-to-be-missed intimate dinner showcasing local ingredients and local wine, presented by Salty’s on the Columbia Executive Chef Josh Gibler. Hear Sue Tellefson tell her story. Here’s a tidbit: “I grew up in the gardens of my Grandma Barton and my dad Olaf Tellefson and come from a long line of farmers and fisherman. I guess you could say that I am deeply rooted in the culture that became Northwest cuisine.” Here’s your three-course menu with expert pairings by Salty’s Chef Josh and Winemaker Andrew Rich:
