Childhood friends Jensen Yip and Kevin Scofield were both born in Hawaii and raised in the upcountry area of Maui. They found themselves in Portland, Oregon attending college and graduating from Oregon State University. Jensen had spent years in the restaurant industry while Kevin worked in Finance/Investments.
Shortly after Kevin was laid-off from his “suit and tie” job, they decided to use it as an opportunity to start something together and opened a food cart in 2010. Neither owner had any professional cooking background but their memories of family cooking lingered in their heads and could not be escaped. The menu spawned from family recipes and a bit of creativity. 808 Grinds was born to provide the 503 with what the people of the 808 love to eat!
