The old becomes new. Provisions Market Hall, Eugene Oregon

Sometimes when doing a review you have to know when to not do one.  I love Provisions; they have been my go to place in Eugene for several years for everything from breakfast to late evening pizza or the best macaroons in the state.  So when I saw that they were doing a huge expansion and upgrade in services, I was excited to see the new venture.  The problem with large expansions is there are always growing pains, not only does the size of your business double or even triple so does your personnel.  You also usually have more inventory and possibly even a new computer system.  This is what has been the reality for Provisions with their change to Provisions Market Hall.

Because I visited only a week and a half after the grand opening the growing pains were very apparent, and because of that I have decided to not do a full review as the problems that I ran into were a direct result of the growth.  So I will return in a month and do a full review at that point no matter what the results are.  For now I will share the photos of the new place, as it is beautiful.

Beautiful Flowers when you walk in.










Very Yummy Wine, I even bought a bottle.

Croque Monsieur

The bright spot of this visit was my chance meeting of the wonderful Stephanie Pearl Kimmel the founding Chef and CEO.  She is so warm and passionate about Provisions, she took the time to talk to me about a lot of things when she was so busy looking over all the new changes.  After talking with her I know Provisions will only grow and be better after this small bump in the road and will continue to be a shining gem in Eugene because of Stephanie's passion and leadership.  So if you are in Eugene or just passing through do stop in for a treat as they have a lot to chose from now.

Cheers & Ciao.
