The owners of Satchmo’s restaurant in Flagstaff are bringing their down-home style food and friendly atmosphere to a new catering and event space called Roux 66.

Satchmo’s owner-operator Jamie Thousand and general manager Evonne Shirzadegan said the inspiration for Roux 66 came from a desire to move the catering at Satchmo’s to a new location and create an evolving space that could be rented out by customers or used to host celebration dinners, charity events and more.

“The one sector that continued to grow and develop for us was the catering side of things,” Thousand said. “It was really just an easy transition for us.”

Roux 66 is located in Kachina Square on Route 66 at Steves Boulevard, a location that Thousand and Shirzadegan considered perfect for maintaining a close proximity to Satchmo’s while also preserving their loyalty to the east side of Flagstaff.

Their new space contains a large, open event room and a back kitchen that Shirzadegan describes as “twice the size of Satchmo’s kitchen,” and can be customized to fit business meetings, wedding receptions, birthday parties or whatever else customers desire. While not required, customers can choose from a range of catering services for their event, from a simple tea and coffee service to multicourse meals.
