In the fabled summer of 2003, Jordan Busch and Sara Sawicki told their friends and families they were going to open a wing joint together. Sara had just finished her fifth season of guiding whitewater rafting trips and Jordan had recently passed the Colorado Bar exam. People scoffed. However, for Sara and Jordan the next logical step was to open up a cool wing joint where people could drink cold beer, eat spicy wings, listen to some good music and kick it with their homies. They wanted to open their wing joint in a town that needed great wings and that suited their outdoorsy lifestyles. After some research it became clear that Portland was the ideal place. After moving to Oregon in the fall of 2003, Sara and Jordan scoped out the town, worked hard in local restaurants, and developed their menu for their new restaurant. Neither of them had ever managed a restaurant, let alone owned one. They attended small business meetings, talked to accountants, restaurant owners and local wing connoisseurs. People asked them if Portland was ready for a wing joint. Others suggested they should have stuck with their previous occupations. The naysayers fueled Sara and Jordan's passion for opening their restaurant even more. On the first day of 2005, the first customers walked through the doors of Fire on the Mountain Buffalo Wings. In the early days, there were just a couple cooks and Sara and Jordan were the only front of house staff. Fast forward to 2011 where Fire on the Mountain Buffalo Wings has become a Portland institution with three restaurants and close to 100 employees. FOTM still possesses the same passion to provide customers with a fun, easygoing restaurant to enjoy our delicious food and great service.
