#454 Richard Matusow - Carioca Bowls

We welcome Richard Matusow to the podcast to talk about his eye-opening journey to Rio de Janiero at the turn of the century, where he discovered the wonders of the superfood açai. That led to a new career.   On his way to opening Carioca Bowls in Portland, he learned what he could about a açai, working for a premier company in the industry. Now, Carioca Bowls on Alberta, has a loyal following of healthy customers.   Richard also fills us in on the celebration of his 11th year in business with a big party at the restaurant on June 28th. A week later, Carioca Bowls and Richard participate in the Portland Waterfront BluesFestival. Richard fills us in on some of the particulars for the Festival taking place July 2-4. Richard also shares some of his favorite Alberta haunts, and others in the area. www.cariocabowls.com @cariocabowls waterfrontbluesfest.com @waterfrontblues
