Over on the eastside, a Togo’s Sandwich Shop is set to open in the space formerly occupied by Quiznos. According to the Bulletin, the opening should be February 1st. I know next to nothing about Togo’s as a brand, but apparently there are some 240 of them around; but it … Continue reading
I don’t remember seeing this reported locally anywhere else yet, but the Panda Express that is located on the north end of Bend (essentially on the northeast corner of the Target lot) is now open. It had been under construction since September and originally I believe was slated to have … Continue reading

Prompted by a comment on my first Lunch Bites post, I decided to get lunch from Super Burrito today—from their eastside location in the former … Continue reading
Today’s Bulletin reported on the closure of downtown’s Pita Pit restaurant; however unlike many closures of late, this one isn’t necessarily due to poor business. Rather, it seems there is a dispute between the business and the landlord. According to the notice, the landlord, Beck Bakery Building LLC, terminated the … Continue reading
Early last month I wondered what was up with El Jimador downtown; the restaurant for several months had been closed up with brown paper covering the windows, and there was at least one rumor of the spot changing hands. The Source has the scoop this week, and it turns out … Continue reading
Today marks the first day that Chan’s Chinese Restaurant is (finally) open again; I first saw the new yesterday on one of The Source blogs: Yesterday, while driving south on 3rd St., I longingly glanced over to the right when I was getting close to Chan’s Chinese Restaurant to check their … Continue reading
