It might be called "the Super Secret Side Street Saloon," but El Sancho's latest venture is in the Source events calendar... so, it's kinda like the best-kept not-kept secret in Bend. Now through March 4, El Kussho, the sushi spot also known as Kusshi NW that previously popped up in downtown Bend, is posted up at the "Super Secret" spot on SW Century Drive. Created by Chef Ian Skomski, El Kussho offers up Japanese food and "Nikkei" style eats—described by the Food Network as "Peruvian ingredients shaped by Japanese techniques." Imagine Peruvian ingredients cooked up with Japanese flair.
