Oregon’s restaurants are in a league all their own. Form fine dining in the state’s gorgeous wineries to chowing down at beloved local seafood shacks, the cuisine in Oregon is on another level entirely. This isn’t just our opinion; Oregon has attracted the national spotlight, first with Bravo TV’s Top Chef Portland, and now with Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” Guy Fieri visited Bend this year, and the episodes have begun airing on local networks. Fieri visited Zydeco Kitchen & Cocktails, Rockin’ Dave’s Bistro & Backstage Lounge, and Dump City Dumplings — and you’ll definitely want to visit all three restaurants in Bend, Oregon, ASAP, too!
Lights, camera, action! Oregon was a veritable triple threat on Food Network this year, with a trio of restaurants in Bend featured on the popular “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” show.
