CONTRIBUTORS

ELIZA BILLINGHAM is a staff writer for the Inlander who reports on food, comedy, and anything else she can convince her editors is interesting. In this issue she writes about Dos Gordos Tacos & Tequila (page 38). “Talking to Chef Callahan helped me start to understand why restaurants are so important, for the people who eat in them and the people who work in them. Care is something that can be hard to quantify, but with food, you can taste it. I think that’s fascinating.”

DAN NAILEN is the former editor of the Inlander. His first journalism job was at the Missoula Independent, an alt-weekly that launched in 1991 that, sadly, was bought by Lee Enterprises, owner of the Missoula daily newspaper, then dismantled and shut down in 2018. Thankfully much of “old Missoula” remains, and Dan always enjoys visiting new spots between visits to old haunts (“Boomtown,” page 30).
