Cascade Biscuit Kitchen dishes out ‘blue-collar brunch’ on Springfield’s Main Street
BOB WILLIAMS / THE CHRONICLE. Cascade Biscuit Kitchen owner Steve Shinn has brought something unique to Springfield: Southern food which blends effortlessly with both Appalachian and Pacific Northwest cuisines. The restaurant is located at 330 Main Street in Springfield. Shinn holds an overall fan-favorite dish, the Lucky Clucker: a biscuit with thick-cut bacon, fried chicken, sausage gravy, and a sunny-side up egg.
SPRINGFIELD – The key to Steve Shinn’s most recent success in the restaurant industry may have simply been marrying into a Southern family.
The native Oregonian said that “as an Italian who married a Southerner, we pretty much go from baked ziti to fried pork chops and cream corn on any given day, so it just made sense” to open Cascade Biscuit Kitchen: a restaurant which features a fusion of cuisines.
Since its soft opening last October, Cascade Biscuit Kitchen has found its footing in downtown Springfield as a “blue-collar brunch” spot. Shinn coined this term because the restaurant gets its rush around 9:30 or 10 a.m. – and the food served is definitely adequate fuel for any blue-collar worker. The restaurant’s best-sellers are beignets, chicken and waffles, and the Lucky Clucker, a biscuit with thick-cut bacon, fried chicken, and sausage gravy, according to Shinn.
