Something new is brewing at the Benedictine Brewery in Mount Angel – it’s Italian food, courtesy of Chef Ty Burgé, owner of the Mercy Mobile Kitchen food cart.
“There’s something for everybody,” Burgé said of the menu – a mixture of paninis, pastas and flatbreads that he designed with the brewery’s patrons in mind.
“I figured this would be the best for here,” he acknowledged. “And so far, it’s going really well.”
But the menu isn’t the only triumph, Burgé’s other mission – to donate a portion of each month’s profits to an animal rescue or rehabilitation organization – has been successful as well.
The cart’s first charitable cause in June was Green Acres Farm Sanctuary, then switched over to Golden Bond Rescue of Oregon in July.
“We want to give animals a voice.”
And so, whether it’s for the food, the beer, the view, or a bit of all three, Burgé urges the community to come out and give Mercy Mobile and the Benedictine Brewery a try.
“Bring your kids out, bring your dogs,” he said. “There’s something for everybody.”
