As of November 1st, Slayton’s Key Largo Bar and Restaurant, located on the shores of beautiful Lake Shetek came under the new ownership of Frank DeVries. Originally from Orange City, Iowa, DeVries attended Northwestern College for two years.
After college he worked in sales. For seven years he worked for Walmart and remembers helping to open that store in Yankton, SD. “That was 25 years ago,” DeVries recalled. “I was an assistant manager. When I left there, I got my first job as a restaurant manager at the Happy Chef in Yankton. I had absolutely no food experience of any kind, but I had managerial experience and they had a great training program. What I discovered was that I like food. It’s kind of my passion. I like working with flavor and flavor profiles and textures.”
