10 Things You Didn’t Know About Bentley’s Grill Very Own Soraida Cross

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Many of our loyal Bentley’s Grill guests come back again and again because they can’t get enough of our amazing menu, drinks and our wonderful staff.  And sure, we believe the staff at the Salem Conference Center, The Grand Hotel in Salem and Bentley’s Grill are among the best in downtown Salem, Oregon.

But how well do you really know us?

This month we are shining the spotlight on Bentley’s Grill Bar Manager and Social Media/Marketing Guru: Soraida Cross! Soraida has been with Bentley’s since opening August 2005.

She says she what she loves the most about her role here is being around people, and getting to know them. Through the years she has built many great relationships with the staff and customers, personally and professionally and she loves to laugh and make people smile.

We recently asked Soraida to tell us 10 things we did not know about her and here is what she had to say.

  • When I am not at Bentley’s, you will find me with my husband of 9 years, Mark. I love to spend time watching my 12 year old son play sports or hanging out my 16 year old daughter who is also a lifeguard & high-school cheerleader.
  • At this moment, I am reading Unmarketing by Scott Stratten. My favorite authors are Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Nora Roberts
  • My favorite dish at Bentley’s Grill is the Crab Cakes
  • I am terrified of Spiders
  • A typical breakfast for me is a caffeinated beverage like Rockstar
  • I am addicted to Twitter
  • My guilty pleasure is watching True Blood
  • I am a passionate New York Yankees fan
  • My favorite local place to go (other than Bentley’s) is Hitchin Post in Keizer,Or
  • I have 2 cats and their names are: Nani and Coco

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling
‘Tis you, ’tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
‘Tis I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

For you history buffs- here are some Ketel One facts from thebar.com:

The Nolet family of Schiedam, Holland, has been distilling for more than 300 years. The formula for Ketel One vodka was inspired by the Nolet family’s ten generations of distilling experience. Settling for nothing less than perfection, a member of the family still tastes each batch of vodka before it is released.

Prized for its smooth taste, Ketel One starts with the finest wheat and water. As the distillate is heated over a gentle, hand-stoked fire, the temperature and alcohol levels are regulated to ensure the best possible vodka. Not surprisingly, Ketel One has a developed a passionate following among vodka connoisseurs.

Check Back for February’s Lounge Lizard Monday specials available in the lounge every Monday from 4 to 6 pm.
