Daily Fuel PDX

Since Portland, Oregon’s own Scandals… ( ) was where Dax and I met December 8th 2015, it has ALWAYS held an extra special place in our hearts.

We wish our best to David Fones with his refreshed, reimagined, and relocated Scandals East venture.
As it was stated in Nicole Eckrich’s March 10th, 2026 Willamette Week write up “Scandals Goes East” article,
“The new concept welcomes guests of all ages, and the shared location allows Carioca Bowls ( ) to operate from 9 am to 3 pm while Scandals operates from 4 pm to midnight, offering dinner service until 8 pm. The pairing works well with Scandals’ vision of a healthy, communal space for not only the q***r community, but the entire neighborhood. The reinvented Scandals also places less emphasis on alcohol than its predecessor.

‘I’m trying to develop healthy New Mexican fare and have more of my focus be on good, healthy, inexpensive food,’ says David Fones, who owned Scandals’ former location for 20 of its 46 years in business.”

Saturday night I felt the need to “shake my tail feather” because it had been too long since I’ve celebrated Portland Pride! Dax and I first stopped , then “hoofed it” it to . Enjoyed running into some old friends. Finally ending at Camp ( )to celebrate with our friend Logan ( )and his exciting new adventure! 🎉🏳️‍🌈🥂
