Good news for foodies – an accomplished chef is coming home to Sioux Falls and opening a new restaurant.

Chef Jordan Taylor and business partner Barry Putzke are opening Bread & Circus Sandwich Kitchen in the former Taste of the Big Apple space at 600 N. Main Ave.

“It’s going to be a great addition to that part of Sioux Falls,” said Scott Blount, commercial broker with Lloyd Companies, who leased the space.

“Jordan has been cooking in Portland, Ore., and was trained by a very well-known West Coast restaurant called Wildwood.”

Putzke and Taylor are Roosevelt High School graduates, Blount said.

“They have to do very little (to get the restaurant space ready). The big thing is getting a hood system in,” he said. “Sandwiches and craft beer are a big part of what they do.”

The new restaurant is scheduled to be open some time in May.
