History
Since meeting at the William F Harrah College of Hotel & Restaurant Administration in UNLV, Chef Sergio A Verduzco and his partner and wife Hydi Lyn Verduzco have worked as a team with Hydi running the front of the house and Chef Sergio running culinary operations. Their career paths have run a parallel course with many positions at top notch properties under their belt. East by Southwest is the culmination of their labor and vision. Since opening in 2002 East by Southwest has quickly risen to the top of the Durango restaurant scene, raising the bar and bringing innovation to Durango.
