Little Green Pickle

Eleven years ago, we jumped off a cliff, risked our careers, left our cushy New York jobs and moved to a promised land called Portland, Oregon to hopefully open a restaurant of our own. Instead, we started two businesses to support the food and beverage communities we love.

Now, it’s time to go out like Seinfeld. We are closing Little Green Pickle. It’s time to let the next generation of talented PR people run the world. Genesis Burton and Lyndsay Dyk, our extraordinary managers, are both launching new PR businesses of their own - Genesis Mayorga with Que Chilero Group (https://www.quechileropdx.com/), and Lyndsay Field Dyk with Field Day PR (https://www.fielddaypr.com/). Our amazing assistant, Shannon Grady, is heading to Seattle, and we hope you all will connect with them in the future.

Carrie Welch is pursuing her dream of becoming a professor, Jannie Huang is going back in the kitchen with Just Cook Jannie (https://www.justcookjannie.com/). We have loved every moment of this part of our career and it’s time we see what’s next. You all have inspired us with your stories and how you’ve let us into your lives.

Follow your dreams.

Love,
Jannie and Carrie

The last stop on our Oregon in Season tour with finds us in Downtown Portland with the talented ! ‘Fish and Chips’ featuring turnips show the creativity and imagination Chef Jewan Manuel brings to his vegan dishes. It’s been an amazing tour of all Oregon has to offer this year! Thank you and for partnering with us. Grab one of these this week, they’re on the menu in the until Thursday, 12/16.

These cool mornings have us thinking: it’s officially porchetta-on-the-patio season, baby! Oh, you’ve never heard of it? Well it’s kind of like PSL season, except you take your sensible boots and cozy layers down to and revel in the crisped, savory (w/just a touch of sweet) pork cut nestled under a bed of fresh greens and atop a bun, hand-made behind the butcher counter from pork raised humanely and sustainably at Piccone’s sister farm Wallow & Root. Trust us, this season is best celebrated alongside a crisp Italian-style Pilsner, no pumpkin spice necessary.
