Nice restaurants taste better in a recession…

November 22nd, 2009 by Kerry | Filed under Business, Misc.

What a wonderful time we had last night at the new Zydeco’s location in Downtown Bend.  It’s also a great story of opportunity in the recent economy. The building was built in the boom-time here in Bend and the first tenant was a high-end restuarant, Volo. They went out of business and Zydeco snatched the opportunity to move from their highly trafficked, but unsophisticated location on 3rd street to the high-class new digs on Bond. The inherited some great tenant improvements, and we even heard last night that the wine cabinets were full of expensive wine when they moved in. What a deal!
Laura had the Kansas City Strip and I the duck breast over cavatappi. Both were incredible. I’ve never had a bad, or even just mediocre,  meal at Zydeco.
