Dick's Kitchen was a "paleo-friendly" restaurant with multiple locations in Portland, Oregon.[1]

Description

[edit]

The high-vegetable, low-grain[2] menu offered gluten-free, paleo, and vegan options,[3] including burgers, sandwiches, sausages,[4] and desserts.[5][6] The interior of the southeast Portland restaurant was decorated with portraits of notable men named Richard, including Dick Van Dyke, Richard Burton, and Richard Nixon.[5][7] Drinks at the northwest Portland location included the Dick's-A-Rita and Dick's Elixir.[8]

History

Richard Satnick opened the first restaurant on Southeast Belmont in the Sunnyside neighborhood in August 2010.[1] He opened a second restaurant in northwest Portland in late 2011,[9][10][11] in a space which previously housed Lucy's Table.[12][13][14] Meat was sourced from Carmen Ranch in Wallowa, Oregon, as of 2014.[15] The "sister-restaurant" Dick's Primal Burger opened in southeast Portland's Woodstock neighborhood in 2015, offering counter service.[16][17]

The Dick's Kitchen in Sunnyside closed and was replaced by Taqueria Los Puñales.[18] The outpost in northwest Portland closed and the space was later occupied by the Indian restaurant Bhuna.[19][20][21]

Reception

[edit]

In 2016 and 2017, Dick's won in the Best Paleo Options category in Willamette Week's annual readers' poll.[22][23] The restaurant won second place in the same category in 2020.[24]
