Fire On The Mountain Brings Portland’s Original Buffalo Wing To Bend’s Campfire Hotel
January 4, 2023
Campfire Hotel will be the new Bend home to Portland’s Original Buffalo Wing’s restaurant, Fire on The Mountain. Set to open in spring 2023 in a reimagined space formerly used as an auto sales lot, this will be FOTM first location in Central Oregon and join FOTM’s existing locations in Portland and Denver
FOTM opened in 2005 at its original Portland location on N. Interstate Avenue in Portland. According to legend, the original Buffalo wing was invented years ago at the famed Anchor Bar in upstate New York. Forty years later, FOTM owners Sara Sawicki and Jordan Busch brought this Buffalo tradition to the Northwest and have continued to share their secret sauce. Now the secret will be out in Bend with the opening of their newest location.
FOTM sources its wings from cage-free, antibiotic-free, hormone-free, and humanely raised chicken. The restaurant also uses all-natural beef and pork that are both humanely and sustainably raised.
FOTM is expected to open in spring or early summer, joining Campfire Hotel’s team of onsite food and beverage purveyors. That includes the new Juice Easy Cafe, a concept by master “juiceologist” Bobby Humbert that offers fresh, plant-based juices, a perfect breakfast companion to the cafe’s breakfast burger or chicken’ n waffle bowl. Guests at Campfire can now order directly to their room for an in-room dining experience, too.
While all of Campfire Hotel’s culinary offerings are provided by independent operators, each is an integral part of the fabric of the hotel’s service and hospitality programs. Onsite dining is open Wednesday through Sunday, and includes the Canteen Bar and Juice Easy Cafe.
