Spork — Global Street Food, Bend
Spork is the Bend restaurant that applies the city's outdoorsy democratic spirit to global street food with Oregon ingredients — Korean BBQ tacos with local beef, banh mi with Oregon pork, and the rotating global preparations that reflect a kitchen with genuine curiosity and no interest in category loyalty.
The Korean-Mexican fusion that defines the menu's most popular preparations uses the Korean gochujang and sesame oil tradition alongside Mexican format in a combination that the Korean taco movement established and that Spork applies to Central Oregon's specific ingredients.
The Oregon sourcing is democratic but genuine — local beef in the Korean tacos, Oregon pork in the banh mi, and the Deschutes Valley vegetables in the rotating preparations.
The prices match the spirit of the operation — global flavors at street food prices, in a city where the outdoor culture produces the appetite and the farm culture provides the ingredients.
