Season 3, Episode 1: Medford, Oregon

In this episode we are back in Medford, Oregon, where Vinny is going to introduce you to three of Medford’s family run businesses that put their own twist on some of our favorite foods.
• Cakebar + Bakery
915 W McAndrews Rd., Medford, OR 97501
/ cakebarandbakery
Welcome to the Cakebar! I found out about this place from a friend of mine, and I’m so glad I did. Cassie, a 3rd-generation restaurant owner, originally opened her bakery in Silverton, Oregon, but the pandemic pushed her to move down to Southern Oregon and reestablish in Medford, where she feels more like she’s in a comfortable neighborhood than in a commercial downtown.
• Kona Bento
4510 Table Rock Rd., Medford, OR 97502
/ konabento
The history of bento begins back in the 12th century, when workers would bring cooked rice to work in a small bag. By the 17th century, the art of bento box became well-known and travelers around the world would start using them to carry their meals. Meet Tiffany, owner of Kona Bento, a drive thru serving authentic Hawaiian style bento, with healthy options, made fresh daily.
• Rooted: Eat More Plants
1325 Center Dr Suite 108, Medford, OR 97501

Rooted: Eat More Plants offers fast and fresh plant-based foods as well as raw honey and pasture raised eggs. Bowls, paninis salads, and even organic juices! Always vegetarian. Always dairy-free!
