MARKET SPOTLIGHT
Jacobsen
Ben Jacobsen was living in Denmark when he first discovered good salt. Back in the US, he noticed that people were into artisanal food, but weren’t paying attention to the quality of their salt. Ben moved to Oregon and started Jacobsen Salt Co in 2011, where he began harvesting from the pristine waters of Netarts Bay. Jacobsen’s salts are clean, brightly white, and flaky — a favorite among chefs. To Ben, salt is something so simple, but it’s a crucial workhorse in the kitchen. “It’s about time America had its own great finishing salt,” said Ben.

We checked in with Commissioner Kathy Hutton to get current on the SSC’s programs, including the approaching Plastics Ban. Read on to learn more, and find out what recent changes we made here at Driver’s.

Our deli counter is open and loaded with fresh baked goods, meats, cheeses, salads, soups, and casseroles. NOW AVAILABLE: All juices and smoothies, as well as coffee, chai, and draft kombucha from the Deli. Two of our favorite sandwiches are available as grilled paninis to-go: the Cuban and the Caprese. All of our hot bar foods — Nepalese specialties from Bini’s Kitchen — are available to-go! The rest of our made-to-go menu is not currently available due to COVID-19.
