In her own words, "I grew up in Scholls, Oregon deep in the woods and have always had an appreciation for nature and natural medicine that grows around us. I started an essential oil business four years ago and currently work as a manager and server at Chow. I love Chow because it represents how I feel about good food, good people, supporting local farms and businesses alike. Crafting cocktails gives you the freedom to use your mind, fresh herbs and your creativity. "

Megan crafted this tasty cocktail, in the spur of the moment, for the Bite of Bend cocktail competition. You can find her at Chow in Bend, most days mixing daytime drinks and holding the fort down.

Cheers!
