Throwing Ourselves On The Grenade of Bad Food to Save You
Word on the street is that Micah Camden, who at one time owned at least a piece of respected restaurants Yakuza, Beast, D.O.C., Fats, and currently Little Big Burger, is planning a new Japanese spot called Boxer on SE Hawthorne and 20th. No more information than that.
Did I ever mention I like Little Big Burger? It’s my go to downtown burger place.
Mr. Camden, you may now pick yourself up off the floor.
"I have a wide-range of food experience - working in the restaurant industry on both sides of the house, later in the wine industry, and finally traveling/tasting my way around the world. Whether you agree or disagree, you can always count on my unbiased opinion. I don't take free meals, and the restaurants don't know when, or if, I am coming."
So when is the one near me, on Division, opening?
Pretty sure it opened on Sunday.
I recently toured an apartment in the 20/Hawthorne building and the girl giving the tour said “we’ve got a sushi place opening up here soon,” is that lends any additional credibility.
Overheard conversation while eating @ sushi restaurant in Bend. The sushi chef related that he was going to be opening a sushi restaurant on 20th/Hawthorne , with a partner. New restaurant to be named Boxer. Excellent chef.
