Crazy in Suburbia: The good, the bad, and the unknown in Walnut Creeka s economic outlook

"But one potential investor, who could have helped Walnut Creek’s pursuit of stronger foodie pedigree has possibly backed out of plans to relocate here. That would be four-star Chef Roland Passot. He’s most famous for his Russian Hill restaurant La Folie (which I once had the privilege dine at; very romantic, delicious spot for a very special occasion date night!). But around here he was known for the Left Bank Brasserie in Pleasant Hill. Well, it was just announced that the affiliated company that runs Pleasant Hill Left Bank has shut it, But Passot has reportedly abandoned plans to move that Left Bank into downtown Walnut Creek. The Left Bank was supposed to set up on the ground floor of the Mercer condominium building, according to the website, SF Eater, but the “unforgiving economy” is forcing Passot to scale back his restaurant operations."
