It’s a big day for the Bigger and Better Lardo…Kickstarter accepted our project! Let’s raise some bucks to build out the patio eating area. We wanna string lights, install these planter benches, plant flowers, and bring in solid tables for serious sandwich eating. Help us out. And praise the lard!

Can’t have a sandwich without the bread… Fleur de Lis Bakery is our favorite! Local. Fresh. And the dustiest role in town.

Ready to belly on up to the bar? Almost…
Things are really coming along at our new site on SE 12th and Hawthorne. Our contractor, Tim Mencer, is the best! Post on the blog, tweet at us, comment on Facebook, or just stop by the cart if you have any questions about the restaurant.

That handsome mahogany siding sure is going up fast. Have to be ready for the opening of Lardo’s brick and mortar restaurant later this summer! But with men like Chris Martin (bottom right) on the team, we’ll beat the CLOCKS and FIX (YOU) up the place in no time. See the new location for yourself at SE 12th and Hawthorne. It’s a neighborhood kind of spot.
Can’t wait for the restaurant opening? Not to worry. Step right up and snag a sandwich today. Our cart is parked in the GOOD FOOD HERE POD on SE 43rd and Belmont.
Check out Lynne Curry and her new cookbook, Pure Beef. She just couldn’t get enough of Lardo’s ketchup so she included our recipe in her book! The La Grande Observer dubbed it “neither overly sweet nor watery, but a perfect combination of spice and tang that is thick enough to spread.” Couldn’t have described it better ourselves. Pick up a copy (or just head on over to Lardo) and you too can indulge in our tasty ketchup.
