The Martha Blog Features Evo Grill


Martha Stewart documented her recent visit to Portland, Oregon on her blog (www.themarthablog.com/). She saw the Evo grill in action and was very impressed!

“While in Portland, I was told that I had to visit the wonderful farmers market. The largest market is held on Saturdays near Portland State University. I was immediately drawn to this vendor, Verde Cocina, that sells a variety of freshly prepared tacos. The market serves as a business incubator for at least 50 businesses, like Verde Cocina, that has expanded sales outside of the market, but still sell at the market too. The line of customers at this popular booth was very long. All the cooking is done on a large circular flat-top Evo grill. In addition to this booth, Anna Garnica and her husband, Noe, operate two restaurants in town.” - Martha Stewart
