PORTLAND KITCHEN CABINET

WHO WE ARE

The Kitchen Cabinet is a civic engagement program committed to growing and preserving opportunity in the restaurant industry and strengthening the communities in which we live and work. This initiative works closely with nonprofit organizations and government officials to ensure that restaurants remain a strong pillar in our economy and continue to create opportunities for all Americans.

Portland's Kitchen Cabinet is focused on establishing a working group of informed, active and motivated hospitality community members to serve as industry ambassadors with policymakers, opinion leaders, community leaders and partner organizations, and is designed to build bridges and foster long-term relationships with local elected officials and the community. With more than 100 members, the Portland Kitchen Cabinet is a proud partner of the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association and the National Restaurant Association. 

Join the Kitchen Cabinet today to have your story and perspective heard by Portland’s elected officials. Membership is free. To join the Kitchen Cabinet, contact Nicole Peterson. 

INITIATIVES & EVENTS
​
  • Women Who Stir the Pot - Each Spring
    We love celebrating the incredible talents of women in the Portland restaurant scene. We love it so much, we throw an event in March and invite women in the industry to gather and highlight their achievements.
  • Chow Down for Vets - Every November
    On Veterans Day, we partnered with Returning Veterans Project again on the Chow Down for Vets event, raising funds to help our local veterans and their families with free and confidential mental and physical health services.
  • All-User Restroom Challenge
    Portland Kitchen Cabinet helped with the Commisson's challenge to convert single-stall gender-specific restrooms to all-user restrooms and show the Portland community we welcome all.
