Scott started cooking as a butcher in North Carolina. It wasn’t a conscious decision for him to start cooking but the process and the ingredients that surround food quickly became more important than his studies. He cashed in on his long held desire to become a doctor and began his restaurant career as a dishwasher and a ski bum in Aspen Colorado. {more}
Ethan is one of the few and the proud. He was born and raised in Oregon. He began cooking in Portland kitchens in the early 2000’s. Scott was quick to pick him up as a young and talented cook in 2003. {more}
A native son of Southern California, Brennan started cooking as a dishwasher in a small restaurant in order to get away from his mom’s ranch. He quickly moved onto the line and discovered that cooking was his thing. {more}
Anna Josephson has always loved food and people. She grew up in New Haven, Connecticut helping her parents cook from their collection of Gourmet Magazines dating from 1965. When Anna turned 16 she and her brother drove an ice cream truck {more}
As you can see, the Park Kitchen website is new and very much improved. The old website was our original one from when we opened in 2003. It has weathered it’s travels around the WorldWideWeb quite well but we decieded to redo it before it got too long in the tooth. Of course we hired our good friend Todd Skiles at Fullblast Creative to unleash his magnificent brand of dorky-ness on this site. We love it because it makes us look cool. We hope you look cool too.
The Website certainly isn’t the only thing that’s changing at PK. Those of you who follow us know that Park Kitchen is always and forever evolving. In the restaurant world, if you’re not getting better you’re getting old. My job is to make sure that we are always getting better. Usually this evolution is a slow and steady march forward that can only be perceived in retrospect after looking at old menus or talking to one of the many fantastic employees that have worked at Park Kitchen over the past 9 years.
Every now and Then we’re able to take a big and very noticeable step forward. {more}
When Scott mentioned that we needed new patio furniture for the restaurant, I knew just the man for the job. My father, Trigger Cook, had just moved into town and needed a new project.
He accepted the job and agreed to build us ten new tables and twenty-two small benches for our outdoor patio. As a boat builder by trade, he was familiar with water’s impact on wood. {more}
“Scott Dolich’s Park Kitchen is one hell of a place to eat. The room is subtle and calming, the service verges on therapeutic, and the offerings are robust enough to break through the midday doldrums.”
- GQ City Guide
“Enthusiasts eagerly await whatever surprises chef Scott Dolich has up his sleeve at this low key bistro in the Pearl District. The intriguing clever New American-Pacific NW food is ably matched by engaging service. {more}
