Foodies Favorite Finds: Lucas Parsley of Remedy Wine Bar
Monday, June 08, 2015
A native Portlander, Parsley grew up in the midst of the city’s food, drink, and music culture renaissance in the 90’s, inspiring him to begin his own cooking career in high school. Parsley developed both savory and pastry skills in notable Portland kitchens like Nuvrei, Tabla, Bowery Bagels, and KitchenCru before moving to Hawaii to lead the pastry program at Fleetwood’s. In February 2015, Parsley returned to Portland to take over the kitchen at Remedy Wine Bar where his simple and elegant snacks, small plates, entrees and desserts perfectly complement Remedy’s extensive rotating list of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines.
Remedy Wine Bar is a modern yet cozy beverage-first wine bar overlooking the NW Park Blocks in Downtown Portland, Oregon. Remedy’s constantly rotating wine list is an exploration of new and old world wines, thoughtfully curated by Wine Director Josh Wiesenfeld. A simple and elegant menu from Chef Lucas Parsley featuring local seasonal ingredients and one of the city’s best cheese programs complements the beverage program.
Remedy Wine Bar’s comfortable living room vibe with contemporary design makes it an equally perfect place to relax and unwind after work or delve into the unique story behind any wine on the extensive list. Located in an historic pharmacy supply building that provided the entire Northwest with cure-alls and other home remedies, Remedy’s wide windows open up to the park on sunny days for a bright, welcoming atmosphere.
While Remedy Wine Bar is sure to offer you a delicious meal and a relaxing atmosphere, Chef Lucas offers his own special selection for his favorite spot to eat in Portland.
"One of my favorite hidden spots in Portland is Thien Hong on Sandy. It's a big epic Chinese restaurant, and my parents have been taking me there since I was a kid. Best Salt and Pepper Squid in all of Portland, no matter what anyone else says. Really good hot and sour too. Nowadays I go there alone, and eat way too much for one person,” said Chef Lucas.
Remedy Wine Bar, 733 Everett St (503) 222 - 1449. Open Tuesday - Wednesday, 4pm-9pm, and Thursday - Saturday, 4pm-10pm.

For this week, I chose cheaper bars. Christmas has come and gone and this is the time to sit on your duckits until tax returns come. So, in February we’ll roll out the fancy bars, but this week’s theme is frugality.
