"From where I sit, República closing is a big fucking deal. Portland's revered Mexican fine-dining restaurant República has announced that it plans to close in February. Considered the flagship of the local mini-empire República & Co., República represents an idea-"Mexico-forward'"cuisine, tasting menus with culinary storytelling-and laid the groundwork for a conversation the food world should have had long ago about the way larger culture thinks of Mexican cuisine."
República, a revered Portland Mexican fine-dining restaurant and flagship of República & Co., plans to close in February. The restaurant advanced a Mexico-forward tasting-menu approach and prompted conversation about how larger culture perceives Mexican cuisine. Owner Angel Medina expresses concern primarily for staff safety and the country's future rather than blaming the city. Bi-Mart announced it will close all five Cascade Farm and Outdoor locations this spring while no regular Bi-Mart stores are closing. Art Snack highlights local arts items including Weapons, Renée Watson's Newbery Medal, and a Minneapolis chef story request from Medina. Profile Theatre's Tiger Style earns praise as a strong theater value.
