In 2016 Peter Cho and Sun Young Park opened a restaurant in their Northeast Portland home out of necessity — they needed to keep their small children underfoot. The novelty of the intimate indoor/outdoor courtyard garden space at Han Oak — paired with exceptional food — attracted immediate national attention. Soon, Han Oak became one of Portland’s hottest restaurants, earning celebrity status and a half-dozen James Beard Award semifinalist nominations including Best New Restaurant, Best Chefs and Outstanding Hospitality. In 2024 they opened their latest venture, Jeju, in Southeast Portland as another labor of love: a buzzy, modern Korean wood-fired grill barbecue with late-night karaoke. Here are five questions with Peter about his passion for sharing his food and culture.

Cuando Jenny Nguyen abrió The Sports Bra en la primavera de 2022, fue noticia nacional: un bar dirigido por una mujer queer que prometía transmitir solo deportes femeninos. ¿Podría tener éxito? ¿Habría suficientes deportes femeninos para mostrar en las pantallas? Dos años después, este bar en el noreste de Portland no solo es un destino querido por residentes y visitantes internacionales por igual, sino también un modelo para docenas más que se abrirán en todo el país, ya que Nguyen trabaja con una socia en un acuerdo de franquicia. https://traveloregon.com/things-to-do/eat-drink/beer-breweries/the-sports-bra-con-jenny-nguyen/ </video> <video> A Fresh Take on Portland's Whiskey Scene Description: What comes to mind when you hear the words “whiskey library”? Is it leather-bound armchairs, dim lighting and wood-paneled rooms lined with oil-paint portraits? Is it filled with old men doing things like reading the paper, smoking cigars or making business deals? The Multnomah Whiskey Library is happy to do away with most of those stereotypes, although you’ll still find some leather upholstery. Beneath the twinkling glimmer of more than 2,000 bottles of spirits, this renowned whiskey bar is on a mission to make the world of whiskey more accessible to everyone. Here’s what to know about this world-class bar that’s the hub of a thriving, walkable community full of indie boutiques, retail, restaurants and hotels. </video> <video> Try Something Portland | The Sports Bra Description: Join the game at The Sports Bra, Portland’s first sports bar celebrating women athletes every day.

Would there even be enough women’s sports to show on the TVs? Two years later the Northeast Portland bar is not just a beloved destination among residents and international visitors alike — it’s a model for dozens more to come across the country, as Nguyen works with a partner on a franchising deal. What’s the experience at The Sports Bra and why is it so popular? Here are five questions with Jenny.
