The Underground is locally owned and operated by Martin and Janet Bleck, who moved to Oregon from tropical Miami to fulfill their dream of living in the most beautiful state in the nation and participating in its vibrant and burgeoning food and wine scene. Martin, a chef, and Janet, a caterer, come from the world of high-end, off-premise, full-service event planning, and took on the Underground with the mistaken notion that it might provide a slower pace.
