Truffleur is a goat cheese that contains Oregon white truffles. Made by Tumalo Farms, an artisan…read moregoat cheese maker in my neck of the woods,it is only produced in years when the truffle harvest is good and in years when it is produced, it is available only for a limited amount of time. (As in January and February.) The bad news is last year there was a poor truffle harvest and so no Truffleur was available. The good news is this year the truffle harvest is good and- WHOHOO - Truffleur has not only been produced but is available by mail order too. So I'll share information about "how to" here. How to access the Tumalo Farms main page. http://www.tumalofarms.com/ How to read about Truffleur. ( http://www.tumalofarms.com/Truffleur-overview.aspx ) How to order Truffleur as part of a combined cheese shipment (of at least 2 lbs total) or by itself. ( http://www.tumalofarms.com/tumalocollections.aspx ) How to order Truffleur as part of a packaged shipment for 10% off and reduced shipping.( http://www.tumalofarms.com/truffleur-trio.aspx ) And if you order the Super Bowl selection, although it does not include Truffleur, here's how to get 10% off your order and reduced shipping with that special package too. ( http://www.tumalofarms.com/SuperbowlXLV.aspx ) I know...who would think of goat cheese and football together? In fact, who would think of football, period? I know...I know...I'm one of sixteen people in the United States completely indifferent to the game. Back to the important thing, good goat cheese, if you're ordering your own custom box of multiple cheeses, you might also want to add to the order, along with Truffleur (with white tuffles), some others like: Remembrance (with rosemary), Pondhopper (using a local beer in the cheesemaking process), Capricorns (with peppercorns), Fenacho (with fenugreek) or Classico (and better yet the Classico Reserve). And if you order the cheese now so it arrives before February 6, the date of the "big game" my husband tells me, and do watch the Superbowl (the only reason I can think of to do that is for the commercials and the food at the party), while others are eating hot dogs and potato chips, you could be eating Fenacho stuffed dates, or Pondhopper mac n cheese, or grilled Poblanos stuffed with goat cheese raisins and hazelnuts. (Recipes on the Tumalo web site.) If you live in central Oregon or in the Valley area, from Eugene through Portland, you can probably find Truffleur in local specialty markets, or even perhaps in bigger markets, like Market of Choice, that normally carry other Tumalo cheese products. (Although looks like Whole Foods may not be carrying Truffleur this year.) But if you're outside the normal range of Tumalo Farms distribution, isn't the ability to "e order" a good thing? Unlike football. :-)

I would recommend making a reservation if you want to be seated at a table, there is usually a line at the door for walk ins when they first open. With that being said, you may be sat at the bar if they reach capacity but that is NOT a bad thing - this last time we sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience! The food is 10/10 - our favorite is their hangar steak! If you are in the mood for an appetizer the poutine fries are also 10/10 ! All their cocktails we've tried throughout our visits have also been amazing! The atmosphere is great! The service has always been 10/10 as well - their customer service is unmatched, the owner always makes you feel like you're part of the family! If you haven't been yet, you need to hurry up and get over there!

I walk into most places already halfway disappointed. Not here. We had an early reservation at Rancher Butcher Chef at 4:45 with some friends visiting from out of town, and right from the start it felt right. Walked in, instantly greeted, super friendly, no awkward standing around wondering who's in charge. The place was still quiet, which made it even better. Drinks came quick, appetizers followed, and let me just say this... do not skip the beef tartare. Seriously. Not negotiable. The escargot was also ridiculous in the best way. Now the real test... the steak. Perfect. Cooked exactly right, seasoned like someone actually cares, not just throwing salt at it and hoping for the best. This is one of the few places I've been where I'm not sitting there thinking "I could've made this better at home." Then came dessert... some kind of banana cold cake situation that I didn't fully understand but absolutely devoured. Whatever it is, order it. Ask questions later. By the time we were finishing up, the place filled up fast and got a little loud, but honestly that just confirmed what we already knew... when a place is this good, people show up. Great service, great food, fair prices, and a steak that actually lives up to the hype. What more do you want... a personal rancher cooking it at your table?

Highly recommend the Raptor session at 11 am, and the Otter session at 1. The raptor today was a red tail hawk and we learned much from our naturalist / researcher. The otter session was also highly informative and the volunteer was excellent. It was great watching the otters cavort and eat pumpkin. Lots of other exhibits so be sure to study the map so you don't miss any; it's easy to accidentally bypass one as this is a huge space. This is a great way to spend a few hours, especially with children. Much for them to do, and the interaction with the staff highly educational. This is a very well done museum, and my wife and I are grateful to all the organizations and volunteers that put in the work to make it such a great experience. Mahalo.

Price) for my daughter and she is now 10.5 months old and is growing perfectly to her Dr's happy smile every time I go in to see him.
