To dig further into this world of foods and networks i consulted a friend who has owned and operated many resturants in the Eugene area. Counter has worked in all markets of the food industry ranging from working on fishing boats in the pacific to opening one of Eugene's finest eateries, Cafe Zenon. Counter has traveled the world and has been inspired by the social dining habbits of the world. Cafe Zenon especially was influenced by Italian bars. Although these bars do serve alcohal they are much different than what we are used to in the united states. The Italian bars are what we think of as cafe's serving coffee, beverages and assorted cold dishes.
These bars serve as social hubs, old and young gather at all hours of the day to discuss politics music and the weather. David set out to create an environment that (like the bars of Italy) was suitable for all occasions. He developed a resturant that combined a cafe atmosphere with a fine dinning twist. On an averrage day you can find a range of patrons at Zenon ranging from romantic anniversaries to casual coffee.
