""There were gang members on my block, and I was trying to fit in with them, but I'm wearing my cowboy boots and my jeans and my sombrero. I was like a ghetto cowboy.""
""He's a cowboy, I'm a cowboy. You can't create that - you can't teach that culture or understanding.""
""Hawkeye & Huckleberry grills steaks from the family ranch over Oregon hardwood next to piles of beef fat fries and bourbon-spiked beans in a space decked out in acoustic guitars and antler chandeliers.""
Chef Jose Lalo Camarena, known for his pop-up Metlapíl, will head the kitchen at Malarkey, set to open this summer in the Pearl District. Camarena has a unique background as a charro, a skilled Mexican horse trainer, which shaped his culinary journey. Meanwhile, Brian Malarkey, a celebrity chef from Central Oregon, is also influenced by his cowboy upbringing, leading to the opening of a beef-centric restaurant in Bend. Both chefs draw from their rural roots to create distinctive dining experiences.
