Winning Restaurant: You don’t have to go to Beijing to get Chinese Gold. You can find it at Chan’s Chinese Restaurant in Salem Oregon. Without question, this place offers the best tasting Chinese food I have ever eaten. All the food is organic, no chemicals are used, and the recipes are unique to the owners, Ech-Keu Guov (the husband) and Ying-Ying Ma (the wife).

As mid-morning approaches in Cottage Grove, there is a distinct smoky smell starting to waft around Main Street. It is the glorious smell of the smoker in the empty lot next to Big Stuff BBQ, where almost everything on the menu is prepared. The only barbeque establishment in quaint Cottage Grove, Big Stuff has been impressing locals since 2004 with their classic menu of barbeque favorites.

When you walk in you see the first of four unique dining atmospheres — the Teppenyaki Tables. There the chef, with showmanship, prepares vegetables with sauces, pasta, and fried rice followed by your choice of steak, fish, or seafood. You can order sushi appetizers at the Teppenyaki tables knowing that they are top priority in the kitchen so that your dinner isn’t served first.

The room glows with warm amber light from chandeliers and wall sconces that make us want to believe they are holding candles. The rear wall cheers patrons with a hand painted mural of a scene from a French street, and more art spans the longer walls. French music floats through the air, adding to the sounds of the kitchen and those dining around you.
