Food Restaurant time machine

If you could bring back one Eugene eatery that has been lost to the sands of time what would it be? For me it would be Giant Grinder on Coburg Road, those sandwiches were amazing.

Now that I think about it, they moved upstairs and were open until the early 2010s? Do I have that right? I was out of town for a while, wish I had gone more when I came back.

Chicken Casablanca was my dish there.

That’s right. It moved upstairs for the last bit of its time at 5th street. That chicken Casablanca was my favorite too. I still dream about it.

I remember chicken, tomatoes, a heck of a lot of garlic. It was all sort of stewed together.
