Bruneau's South Philly Cuisine (pronounced “Bruno’s”) is owned and operated by Ron & Andrea Brown. Ron was raised in the inner city of Philadelphia in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the country, only a few blocks from where the classic Rocky movies were filmed. As you can imagine, life was tough growing up in Philly especially with a name like Ronald Brown. Ron, who was an only child wished

that he had older brothers to look out for him instead of struggling to make a name for himself alone on the streets. He often told his parents that his life would have been easier if they had given some some tough Italian name like Bruno. Years later he moved to Bend, Oregon and got engaged to his beloved wife, Andrea. She was amused by his story and intrigued to learn what the name Bruno meant. She had found in years past that God often spoke to her through the meaning of names and thought it would be fun to see what Bruno really meant. Bruno was the German name for "Brown"! With great joy she declared to Ron that he had always been who he always wanted to be - Brown Brown!. If you want to know why we chose to spell our business name with the French spelling for Bruno - "Bruneau", then you'll have to ask Ron for the rest of the story. Ron has always loved food and gone out of his way to find successful but unassuming, hole-in-the-wall, multigenerational Greek and Italian restaurants. As a self-proclaimed food critic, Ron has been under-impressed with the cuisine in Central Oregon and wanted to bring the food that he loved and that had impacted his life from the East Coast to Bend. After an exhausting but successful 20 years in the corporate world, Ron discovered a love for cooking. He has cooked many meals for the homeless, and the men at the Shepherd's House (a local shelter with a long term program) look forward to his regular meals which always include fresh ingredients and an extra touch of care. From the numerous events he has privately catered to the regular dinner parties he and his wife have had entertaining friends, the constant echo has been, "When are you opening your restaurant?"

Now! We are opening our food business to the public and it begins with this food cart. Bruneau's menu includes authentic Philadelphia Maglio Sausage and Meats, imported cheeses, and the finest San Marzano tomatoes imported from Italy. In creating the menu we spared no expense in having the famous Amoroso Roll delivered overnight to Bend in order to have Big Eds, a local artisan bakery, replicate the quality, freshness, and distinctive taste. Come experience out our true South Philly hospitality. Mangia! ...Eat!

We had a great time serving at the show Tuesday night. It was a hungry crowd and a fun concert! I think it was our 3rd concert since we started slingin’ cheesesteaks and gyros (so that was something to celebrate!). And, of course we have to give a shout out and props to the young man who sang on stage with Franti!!

We have had dozens of people today return and tell us how much they loved our sandwiches and how awesome they were. One beautiful gal came by earlier to say "that was the best Philly Cheese Steak since I was in Philly 10 years ago! I will tell all my friends!" We are truly honored to be here and sling cheesesteaks. Great weather. Awesome Music. And, amazing conversations around the grill! So many new friends!! We couldn’t ask for anything more today. We’ll be slinging sandwiches till the music ends and the bar closes….we’re serving as long as you are eating tonight and tomorrow night 1am…2am…we’ve got you covered. ✌️. . . . . #centraloregon #realoregon #traveloregon #visitcentraloregon #centraloregonlife #bendoregonlifestyle #bendor #pnwfoodie #bendfood #centraloregonlife #bruneausfoodcart #visitbend #bendoregon #ilovebend #bendfoodtrucks #bendfoodcarts #bendfoodie #pnwfood #bendlife #bend #bendoregonlife #bendeats #visitbend #inbend #thebestofbend #ilovebend #4peaks2021

Thank you Prineville! We sold out of steaks and gyros at the very end… (thankfully we only had to turn a couple folks away empty handed) and the last few diehards did our steaks “wit whiz!” & loved them….We had so many returning fans sharing the love today and so many great complements! —including two ladies who did not know each other who both said today that our gyros were the best they had ever had. .. . . . #pnwlove #bruneausfoodcart #prinevilleoregon #prineville #crookcountyfair #pnwliving #oregonadventures #realoregon #exploreoregon #travel oregon #oregonlove #visitcentraloregon #centraloregon #centraloregonlife

The View from the Grill Tonight! #skillet in #redmond @ the County Fair….we are so thankful for warm summer nights, music, and large public gatherings! (And for a little help from a hard-working, fun-loving gal).

Sound check for @jennerfoxmusic @sistersfolkfestival “Summer of Festival”. We were stoked to serve all the folks that came out to the concert last night — we killed it which was awesome but no time to share any pics 🤪 or videos — and we are looking forward to serving everyone tonight. Great hosts + awesome music + good food x good friends = Great memories and joy for the beginning of a new season (Life after Covid!).

Trapped in an Insane Hail Storm and took shelter at Home Depot to protect my car - as did all these other brilliant people! So thankful for my contractor husband @ronbrownthefinisher so I even knew of this option! . . . #bruneausfoodcart #bendfoodcarts #bendfoodtrucks #bendfoodie #bendfood #bendeats #eatdrinkbend #visitbend #bendlife #bendor #backyardbend #thebestofbend #thebendlife #bestofbend #bendoregonlife #ilovebend #inbendoregon #redmondoregon #sistersoregon #centraloregon #visitcentraloregon #centraloregonlife
