In my rant about Outback Steakhouse the other day I suggested going to Zydeco instead, and decided they needed a full post. I wrote about them on chuggnutt almost two years ago now, and if anything, my review is even better now than it was then. They’re not cheap, but … Continue reading
We hadn’t eaten at our local Outback Steakhouse in a couple of years, at least, so tonight we decided to try it for dinner. It’s definitely not something we’ll be doing again anytime soon—they’ve really gone downhill. I’ll start right off by saying the only truly good part of the … Continue reading
The Bulletin surprises me today and publishes a really good happy hour guide. Almost all of what they cover is in Bend, but they also hit a few in Redmond, Sisters, Madras, Prineville, and Sunriver. They don’t just cover who has happy hours (and they admit it’s not a complete … Continue reading
The other day I got this comment about the newish Bend restaurant, 38 Degrees: Linda Brown writes: I was wondering if anyone has said anything about the new restaurant, 38 Degrees. I don’t know if you can help me but I had the worst experience there that I want people … Continue reading
There’s a new Bend Oregon Restaurants blog (not to be confused with the original). So far it seems to have just started, but looks promising. And the writing is fun and just the right amount of snarky… The best part of Bend, or Deschutes County for that matter, is that … Continue reading

And according to Shannon it’s also every Friday in St. Charles’ parking lot… I’m assuming the same hours. There’s no official website … Continue reading
I always forget about Little Caesars anymore (maybe because we don’t live on the south side of town), but tonight we were down by Fred Meyer and picked up one of their "hot and ready" pizzas for dinner—large pepperoni pizzas that are ready to go, and only $5. Works great … Continue reading
This KTVZ event post reminded me about the Bite of Bend coming up next month, on June 17th (Saturday). This is a fun event, admission is free (though food and drink is not), and even has a live, local Iron Chef competition. This year’s live entertainment schedule will be: 11:00 … Continue reading
Bend has a lot of good places to eat, though the pace at which things are changing around here, it’s tough to keep up with what’s new, what’s closed, what’s good… Trouble is, there’s not a lot of good online resources for Bend dining. (One that would be obvious—BendRestaurants.com—is a … Continue reading
