Chef Erwina Barney
When Erwina arrived in America, her passion for cooking continued, she attended Oregon Culinary School in downtown Portland in 2009 and worked at some very respected restaurants in Southeast and Downtown Portland as a chef. She then opened her first Filipino food-truck that she named as Erwina's Inasal Filipino BBQ in 2012 and moved to Beaverton after a year which became very successful.
She then expanded and opened the Fork And Spoon in 2018, a "brick and mortar restaurant" in the Historic Parkrose District which is across from Parkrose Hardware.
Erwina launched a grassroots street food event in 2022 to bring people together and hundreds more people came than anticipated, it was a crazy success and learning experience.
Erwina and her husband Michael also opened a coffee shop that she has named after her grandchildren’s nick names, Chik & Chuck's Coffee (Chik is their granddaughter and Chuck is their grandson) at the same location shared with Fork And Spoon with different business hours in 2021.
