To help Camas High School students pay the cost of an upcoming Courts for Kids service trip to Los Pilares, Panama, Natalia’s Cafe, located in historic downtown Camas, is hosting a special dinner this Saturday, February 29 from 5:30 pm – 9:30 pm.
It’s a special 1950s themed dinner featuring Erica Slothower and Wendy Delbosque in their “Two Broke Girls” attire. The restaurant is also selling T-shirts to help the cause. One hundred percent of proceeds will benefit the program, which focuses on building special sports courts in communities that need them.
“We love to support worthy causes like Courts for Kids,” said Slothower, owner of Natalia’s Cafe. “We will have fun dressing up as “Two Broke Girls,” which we haven’t done since the Small Business Revolution campaign last year. It’ll be a lot of fun and we hope to fill the cafe Saturday night for this special event. Courts for Kids is a great program that helps kids in developing nations, plus it’s great to see our local students serve others. We are happy to help.”
Each year, several Camas High School students participate in the Courts for Kids program.
“We also hope you buy our T-shirts,” said Luke Orlando, a Camas student participating in the program. “They have a great design and were produced by Papermaker Pride. Hope to see you there!”

Tamale Festival lovers — this is for you! The Southwest Washington Tamale Festival is returning to downtown Washougal on Saturday, June 29, 2019 from 1 to 9 p.m. Presented by the Southwest Washington League of United Latin American Citizens (SW WA LULAC Council 47013), the family-friendly event will celebrate the richness of Latin culture and is free and open to the public. It will be held in Reflection Plaza located at Main St & Pendleton Way, Washougal.
The history of the tamale is as old as the Aztec and Mayan cultures and played a significant role as a food staple that traveled well. Becoming a traditional food for celebrations in more modern times, they are now an important part of Central and North American indigenous culture.
“We are very excited to host the second annual SW WA Tamale Festival in partnership with the City of Washougal,” said Hector Hinojosa, SW WA LULAC Council president and festival organizer. “It will be wonderful to share our heritage with the community through delicious foods, a beer garden, exciting music and dance entertainment, tamale cooking and eating contests, a children’s activity area, information booths from local businesses and organizations and handmade crafts for sale.”
Last year’s festival was overwhelmed by large attendance and suffered long lines to purchase tamales. “This year we will have many more food vendors so lines will be shorter and there will be plenty of tamales for everyone,” Hinojosa assured. “In addition, pre-orders for frozen tamales to take home with you will be available for pick up at the festival.” Orders must be placed online at www.swwatamalefest.com. There is a June 10 deadline for tamale pre-orders and all must be picked up during regular festival hours. Act now!
Find us at www.Arktana.com
“There is an amazing line up of musical and dancing entertainment for the festival,” said Monica Rech, festival entertainment coordinator. “One of a Kind Drumline starts everything off with a dynamic performance at 1:00pm. Son de Cuba Quartette will perform at 3 pm and then again at 3:50 pm. Gerardo Calderon will be playing traditional Mexican/South American/Peruvian folk music starting at 6:30 pm.
Throughout the afternoon beautifully costumed and energetic dance groups will also perform. “We have several Middle Eastern dance groups performing six to eight-minute routines each,” said Rech. “They will feature traditional dances from Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Persia. There will be dances from Vancouver Ballet Folklorico and Flamenco/Belly Dance Fusion as well.”
Adding to the fun, the event will feature a tamale contest that is open to restaurants and homestyle cooks.
“We are inviting contestants to show off their tamale cooking skills,” said Hinojosa. “Tamale recipes are a big source of pride among families. The tamale contest will be a lot of fun and give some bragging rights to the winners!” Entries will be judged by a celebrity panel in three categories; Meat, No-Meat/Veggie and Sweet/Dessert. Winners will be determined based on taste, technique, appearance and overall quality. A $100 prize will be awarded for the winning entries. For contest rules and entry form, go to the event website. There is a $20 entry fee per category. The deadline to enter is June 10, 2019.
Are you hungry for tamales? You may want to enter the Tamale Eating Contest sponsored by Javier Navarro, State Farm Insurance. The challenge will be to consume as many tamales as possible in two minutes. Contest will be limited to the first 10 participants to register, 18 and over only. Registration is $20 and can be done online on the event website. Prizes provided by Navarro are $200 for first place, $50 for second place and $25 for third place.
Proceeds, entry fees and donations collected from the event will support future scholarships and stipends for local youth programs. Contact the festival at swwatamalefest@gmail.com for more information and follow them on Facebook.
Event sponsors include SW WA LULAC, Javier Navarro State Farm Insurance, Riverview Community Bank, Law office of Eulalia Soto, Vancouver Brewfest, Molina Healthcare, Uniweb Digital, Remax Equity Group and Cleanpot Portable. It is also funded in part by City of Washougal Lodging Tax Funds.

Welcome to our Weekly Food + Dining Guide! This week, our cover story is Alex Smokehouse, which is located in downtown Washougal.
Sharing space with Logsdon Farmhouse Ales in downtown Washougal, Alex Smokehouse specializes in smoked meats — wings, ribs, brisket, as well as salmon.
“We’re very proud of what we do here,” says owner, Alex Ramirez. “We love preparing the smoked meats and salmon. The menu is diverse because we listen to our customers and serve what they like. Every weekend I put out a special, and if they become really popular we put them on the menu.”
“They come here for the smoked meats — the wings, ribs, brisket, and salmon is very popular. These are very heavy meals, and I’ve worked trying to find balance to have something for everyone, so I came up with the salads.”
Alex Smokehouse offers eight salads, which can be enhanced with smoked chicken or salmon. People love them! Their sandwiches include pulled pork, smoked chicken, pulled beef brisket, and smoked turkey — that come with your side choice of cornbread, kettle chips, roasted potatoes, slaw, seasonal veggies or mashed potatoes.
Starters include smoked hot wings, ceviche, guacamole and chips, bar snacks, empanadas, smoked house nachos, pizza, sliders, truffle mac, and chipotle chicken Mac. And, they have have daily specials.
“My background is I started cooking in 1997 in NW Portland at Sammy’s Restaurant and Bar, then I moved to Milo City Café at Broadway and I worked there for about seven years,” said Ramirez. “Then, I found my passion with cooking and smoking, and moved to Clay’s Smokehouse, where I was the head chef for eight years, then I decided to work in fine dining at Oyster Bar and Grill on Alberta. Then I moved to Por que No, which is a taqueria in Portland at 48 and Hawthorne and worked there for two years.”
Eventually, he ventured on his own, started with two food carts in Portland, moved from Portland to Washougal and decided he could rent the space where he’s at today. Alex Smokehouse was born in 2014. Stop by and see what they’re all about.

Welcome to our Weekly Food + Dining Guide! This week we feature Hello Waffle Cart, which serves sweet and savory waffles at a drive-thru in Camas, and is a favorite at Farmer’s Markets and events throughout the area.
Waffle plates are growing in popularity and new options are being created to tempt your taste buds. Like the Caprese Waffle, in the cover photo. It’s a savory waffle with fresh mozzarella, pesto aioli, tomato, arugula, balsamic drippings, and makes for a fantastic meal!
“We have turkey sandwiches and people are impressed,” says co-owner, Linda Cameron, who purchased Hello Waffle last October with her husband, Will. “We cook the savory ones with bacon. Most product we have is 100 percent fresh, and the other things like bacon are pre-cooked.”
Hello Waffle recently introduced a ham and cheese waffle, which are both cooked inside the waffle and served with a side of tomato soup. They also just added a chicken waffle. Delicious!
On Saturday, their busiest day of the week, they run two drive-thru’s so you can get your waffle pretty quickly, and if you add a drink it’s just a 5-7 minute wait. You can order up to five waffles at the same time.
And you have 11 waffle plates from which to choose. Their best sellers are the fresh fruit (strawberry), Nutella banana and on savory side, the turkey sandwich and caprese. They also offer gluten free.
Sweet waffle with berries.
Hello Waffle drive-thru.

It’s all made from scratch.
They are currently at Vancouver Farmer’s Market, and will be back at Camas Farmer’s Market soon. They do school events, and will be at Prune Hill Elementary School, the Ilahee Elementary School carnival, at Grass Valley Elementary, and also at Shahala Middle School on May 15.
“I’ve been in the business for almost 30 years working in restaurants and I always wanted to open a restaurant,” said Cameron. “We got it going. I love food. I love serving customers. When customers see the final product they’re amazed. People get excited to see what we make.”
Hours: Open 7 days from 7 am – 2 pm.

“We cook our food with a lot of love,” said Eric Park, owner of Hana Korean.
For those who know and appreciate Korean food, Hana is the real deal. Hana offers Korean, teriyaki, noodles, combinations, and sides at reasonable prices.

Washougal, WA — The former Heller’s, long a staple of Washougal, is now Washougal Times.
The new owner, Ben Jackson, took ownership on January 2, and he and his team have spent considerable time and money renovating the space.
Their grand opening is this weekend, April 12-14. Friday and Saturday nights will be filled live music, by Train River Blue Grass, which is a 4-piece band from 7:30-10 pm. They’ll have a customized menu for a large volume of people with over a dozen choices.
“We’re an ode to the community and the history of the community,” said Jackson. “After spending time in the 2 Rivers Heritage Museum we have gone back to 1890 to 50 years ago, and we’re showing the rich history. We’ve had a lot of people come in and identify people — there’s my mom and there’s my dad, and they’ve given me more photos of the history.”
“There is plenty of room on the walls for more times to come. The business is about something for everyone in the community. Something for kids, for families. Heller’s legacy is strong. Their 40-plus years of business they did was something else. Also, trying to make sure we offer up new things, but maintain some of that old feel of what Heller’s was because it was great. That’s why we do Prime Rib on Friday’s and Saturday’s, that’s why we have the Heller’s sign up.”
Enjoy a delicious burger with onion rings.
Food wise, Washougal Times is simply American done well. It’s splashed in with Pacific NW ingredients with burgers, BLT’s, meatloaf specials, Copper River Salmon, fresher ingredients that are all around us. It’s about looking at what the community needs, so they’ve create menus around that. Then as the community changes the menu will change, as well.
“We want to make sure we’re paying attention,” said Jackson. “We offer comment cards with each guest and chat with them about their experience. We don’t want people walking out the door unhappy. What can we do to make that right?”
The symbol that’s above the restaurant represents rushing water, which is why it’s in blue. Washougal Times is all about the community and the history and the times of this area.
“On the marquee we have the slogan drink, eat, repeat,” said Jackson. “Come visit.”
Hours: 11 am – 10 pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday. Open until 11 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Closed Monday.

This release features a unique pair of newspaper-wrapped cans – grab both the TD and GOW can to get the full story. One hazy. One clear. Tip a few with us on April 6th at either brewery and pick up a 4-pack of the limited cans.
Also come see what’s happening for lunch or dinner. Grains of Wrath has some great dining options.
