We believe that Portland would not be Portland without the rich community of independent businesses we know and love. Each week we will let you know how you can support a couple of the businesses we feel are part of the fabric of Portland:
Kee's #Loaded Kitchen: We love everything about this soul food cart. Chef Kiauna Nelson's voice, spirit, and approach to feeding groups of people warm our hearts–and then there's the food itself! This week she is accepting donations from the community so that she can feed Black Portlanders for free this Friday. Contribute to her efforts or head over to her cart on MLK to eat this weekend- check her Instagram for menu and donation details.
Cason's Fine Meats: Theotis Cason, the man behind this butcher shop and often behind the counter, has been cutting and selling meat for over three decades. Whether you're looking for cuts to cook yourself or perfectly smoked, ready-to-eat meats, you will find them at Cason's. They are currently open for business Tuesdays through Saturdays. Please call ahead to place your order for pickup (503-287-0855).
