The Red Building Formerly Known As The Buckaroo has been busy in recent months. Every time I walk by it seems like something is going on and yet nothing is going on at the same time. They blocked out the windows, then they took it down. There was briefly some kind of light show going on inside and then that was replaced by a giant Jenga-like structure. And then last week there was a box full of grapefruit skins out front for a good week before that mysteriously disappeared.
However, it looks like the time has come to put an actual business back inside the building.
Matthew Lewis, whose popular food truck of that name is “bringing New Orleans to the streets of Seattle,” is bringing his talents to Fremont Avenue space where he’s planning to open a breakfast-lunch-and-dinner joint called Roux, according to The Seattle Times.
