Cornerstone Events

(541) 218-5097 | facebook.com/CornerstonePopUps/ | craftsbybecks18@gmail.com

GRANTS PASS comes together in support of small-town things — a plethora of small shops and restaurants, coffee and antiques, street art events, various small parades, river-themed events, and holiday themed lightings plus one-of-a-kind summer bears — many wonderful local traditions.

We fell in love with Cornerstone and what it represents. It’s your neighbor, your friend, your family member, all in one place. The events they curate bring small businesses a place to showcase their passions and creations.

Cornerstone is where shopping for friends became shopping at our friend's booth and supporting them in a meaningful way. It is beautiful to know that during the fall, we no longer wait for a holiday staple — like candle scents you get at the mall. We anxiously await local candle makers to unveil their scents.

They create events for all to enjoy — more than providing a building, it’s an experience. We love events that bring people together in support of one another.

If you know anyone who would like to be a part of Cornerstone Events, applications are accessible on Facebook at: Cornerstone Events and on Instagram at: Cornerstone_by_becks. gp

ingredients. Even the mustard on the Cuban sandwich is homemade. Most items are gluten free and have no dairy or soy and there are vegan and vegetarian options as well as classic Cuban cocktails and local and Spanish wines. Traditional Cuban fare such as Puerco Asado, Carne Asada and Pollo Asado are slow roasted for many hours, so the meats melt in your mouth and burst with flavor. These meats are served with Cuban black beans and rice, topped with an unforgettable garlic-onion mojo sauce. Yuca fries, maduros (sweet plantains) and tostones (round, smashed, savory plantains) are also available. The specialty avocados are very popular and compliment most everything on the menu. The only

Catalyst Pizza Co.

Catalyst @ The Public House | (541) 218-1906 | 123 SE K Street @ the Weekend Beer Co. | (541) 507-1862 | 1863 NW Washington Blvd

CATALYST @ THE PUBLIC HOUSE is open at 123 SE K street. They serve cheese steaks, sandwiches, wings and Detroit style pizzas (DSP). The only pizza of its kind in southern Oregon. DSP was created in the 40s in Detroit by using oil pans from the Ford auto factory — it has a distinct caramelized cheese crust. This downtown location is a part of The Public House, a new brewery.

Catalyst Pizza Co. at the Weekend Beer Co. sells hand tossed brick oven pizzas whole and by the slice. Also garlic knots and homemade meatballs.

Anna and Zack Thomas started the business as a "pressed" sandwich truck in 2019. They started doing pizza and renamed the business to Catalyst Pizza Co. after they were able to afford the necessary oven to achieve their pizza creations. Zack grew up on the East Coast working and learning about pizza in multiple NY style pizzerias. Later, they relocated from Paradise, CA as a result of the Camp Fire — the Catalyst for moving to Grants Pass and restarting. A little known fact; their logo is a flame because of the fire that forever changed their lives — not because they sell wood fired pizza. gp

non-organic items offered are Abuela Juana’s rum cake, Tia Elsa's Cuban flan (GF) and Angela’s unique specialty cheesecake.

One could say, their epicurean journey began when the owners Angela and Jorge Padilla first met in June 1986. It was only a matter of time before Angela fell deeply in love… with Jorge's family’s Cuban food! In 1992 they were married and with the mix of his culture and her palate, some incredibly savory and memorable dishes were created. People began to ask if they were ever going to open a restaurant.

After a few years of catering events and gifts of rum cakes around the holidays, they decided to test the waters. Eventually, in July of 2017, Cultured Palate — Cuban Food, Cocktails and Wine became a reality. gp
