Foxtrot
A Portland venue near Blutos that entered the chat's Hoen Lunch rotation in June 2025 as a Brian Ambuel indecisive-day proposal and held its place through 2026. 22 corpus mentions across 5 senders and 2 years.
Foxtrot is a Portland venue introduced into the chat's vocabulary by Brian Ambuel on 2025-06-05 and held in the rotation continuously since. The chat's principal stated reason for choosing Foxtrot is its proximity to Blutos — a fact noted explicitly by Evan Bbbender within minutes of Brian's proposal.
Founding day
Brian's introduction is part of his standard indecisive-day four-option slate:
"I'm feeling indecisive so I'll throw out some options: kachka, grand fir, foxtrot or shalom yall" — Brian Ambuel, 2025-06-05
After a 12-minute silence, Brian self-resolves:
"Alright hearing nothing let's go with Foxtrot" — Brian Ambuel, 2025-06-05
Evan Bbbender confirms within four minutes:
"Foxtrot" — Evan Bbbender, 2025-06-05
Max Lieberman proposes a brief alternative (Champs Burgers at Rev Hall) but immediately reverses:
"Nvm foxtrot is go" — Max Lieberman, 2025-06-05
Evan Bbbender then supplies the canonical Foxtrot endorsement that has been quoted ever since:
"I mean foxtrot is cool because it's next to blutos" — Evan Bbbender, 2025-06-05
This is the corpus's only documented case of a venue being chosen explicitly because of its physical proximity to a more-loved venue, and is the encyclopedia's standard reference for Foxtrot's role in the chat's geography.
Food review
A week later Kyle Derrick requests the canonical post-Foxtrot review:
"How was the food from foxtrot last week?" — Kyle Derrick, 2025-06-12
The corpus does not record an explicit answer; the encyclopedia infers from the venue's continued recurrence that the review was favorable.
Late-corpus
Foxtrot continues into 2026 as a stable rotation member:
"Think I might be out for foxtrot. Got some shit that really has to be done before next week" — Matt, 2026-02-27
"But would go to foxtrot basically right after getting home" — Kyle Derrick, 2026-02-27
The 2026 traffic confirms Foxtrot has stabilized into the chat's permanent secondary rotation.
