T

he “10 most delicious days of the year” are back and, once again, bigger than ever. For the sixth inception of Inlander Restaurant Week, a total of 107 restaurants spread across the Inland North-

Tortilla Union’s watermelon salad

west have created mouth-watering, three-course menus especially for the highly anticipated annual event.

New to this year’s lineup are 12 area restaurants, including several that have opened since last year’s event, and a few familiar names now joining in on the culinary celebration. Once again, North Idaho restaurants are breaking records, with 28 total eateries across Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls and Worley, dishing up delightful dining experiences. Diners will also be glad to see names of 24 area favorites that have participated every year since Restaurant Week’s start in 2013.

Seasoned diners know that the best part of Restaurant Week is its fixed price (also known as prix fixe, in French) three-course menus, offered for $21 or $31 per person at participating restaurants. For the uninitiated (welcome!), this price includes your choice of one of several options for each course. Some eateries take a more traditional route with a soup or salad, followed by an entrée and dessert, while others mix things up and include cocktails or draft beer in place of a course, and appetizers that can be shared with the whole table. With such a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, diners can sample menus INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK 2018

Dig In!

We combed through 107 menus — something everyone should do — and these are just a few of the items that caught our attention

Clover’s mushroom and winter squash chilaquiles

FOR MEAT LOVERS PORK TENDERLOIN AU POIVRE

Wild Sage ($31) Menu says: “Pepper-rubbed kurobuta pork tenderloin, brandygreen peppercorn veal demi, mashed Yukon potato, roasted sweet onion, apple chip.”

We say: If you’ve never heard of kurobuta pork, just know that it takes the already delightful flavor of pork you know and love, and amps up the deliciousness. Add in the comforting flavors Wild Sage builds around it, and this is a pork-lover’s must-try.

BISON RIBS

Sweet Lou’s Restaurant and Taphouse ($21) Menu says: “Fred Flintstone is impressed with this dish! Three tender ribs glazed with bourbon barbecue sauce. Choice of one side.”

We say: Ribs, you say? Bison-sized ribs? We love even the babyback-sized ribs, but three big ol’ suckers with bourbon barbecue sauce sounds like a dream. Any rib that genuinely takes two hands to eat — or even lift — is OK in our book.

4 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

ELK MEATLOAF

BEYOND BURGER

FOR VEGETARIANS

STUFFED ACORN SQUASH

Durkin’s Liquor Bar ($31) Menu says: “Traditional grilled meatloaf, celery root, apple and smoked Gouda whipped potatoes, chipotle blackberry ketchup, micro green salad.”

We say: Our mama didn’t use elk in her meatloaf, so the chance to experience a favorite dish with an unexpected meat source is one that needs to be taken advantage of. And smoked gouda whipped potatoes and chipotle-blueberry ketchup to sop up with every bite?

Yes, please.

ROASTED AVOCADO NACHOS

Republic Kitchen & Taphouse ($21) Menu says: “Potato chips, house beer cheese, goat cheese, charred corn salsa, Anaheim chili, cilantro chutney and pickled jalapeños” We say: Look at that array of toppings and gooey cheeses and tell me you would really miss having beef or chicken in the mix.

Anaheim chiles bring some sweet flavor, as does the corn salsa, but let’s not kid ourselves — that beer cheese is the star of the show.

Lantern Tap House ($21) Menu says: “The first of its kind in Spokane, the Beyond Burger is a vegan burger made out of pea protein, created to taste and look just like a traditional burger patty.”

We say: If you’ve been skeptical of trying a vegan burger, now is the time to change your mind. Beyond Meat is one of the two leading plant-based meat substitutes that taste incredibly like the real thing. And you know the Lantern knows how to treat a burger right — vegan or otherwise.

Scratch ($31) Menu says: “Roasted acorn squash, caramelized onion, wild mushrooms, smoked blue cheese, basmati rice, garlic, toasted pumpkin seeds, orange molasses reduction.”

We say: A good squash dish relies on the chef’s creativity to bring an otherwise simple food to life, and there’s no question this is one of the more creative approaches you’ll see on this year’s menus.

The smoked blue cheese and toasted pumpkin seeds are enough to pique our interest; the orange molasses sauce puts this dish over the top. ...continued on page 6

FOR THE ADVENTUROUS CRACKLINS AND PEPPER JELLY

Casper Fry ($31) Menu says: “Smoked and deep-fried pork belly cracklins, housemade pepper jelly.”

We say: Cracklins aren’t for the faint of stomach. Not everyone has a hankering for the combination of pig skin, fat and meat, but for anyone with a love of genuine Southern flavor, cracklins are little tastes of heaven. And you know the Casper Fry pork belly version will hit that sweet spot that’s a perfect match for the spice of the pepper jelly.

ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE HUSH PUPPIES

Timber Gastropub ($21) Menu says: “Southern-style hush puppies filled with Andouille sausage and aged cheddar. Served with Old Bay caramelized fennel dip.”

We say: Hush puppies by themselves are enough to get us excited. When you start talking about stuffing them full of spicy andouille sausage and cheese, you’ve taken the hush puppies from a comforting side dish to the potential star of the night.

SWEET AND SPICY CHEESE CURDS

Palouse Bar & Grill ($21) Menu says: “Flash-fried cheese curds tossed in salted caramel, topped with sauteed bacon and jalapeños, finished with sriracha.”

We say: We love cheese curds, you love cheese curds, who doesn’t love cheese curds? We can safely say we’ve never seen cheese curds served up quite like this, though. Salted caramel playing off the smokey sauteed bacon and some spicy jalapenos? That’s a cheese curd party, people. Top it off with sriracha and you’re going to need something to cool your jets afterward.

FOR SEAFOOD LOVERS SMOKED SALMON TORTELLINI

Europa ($31) Menu says: “Fresh-made tortellini filled with house-smoked salmon, tossed in a lemon and butter sauce.”

We say: You’ll find a lot of seafood on the Inlander Restaurant Week menus, prepared myriad ways, but sometimes the simple things are best. It doesn’t get much more simple than freshly made pasta filled with salmon and tossed in lemon and butter.

Simple food done well by people who know what they’re doing.

NORTHWEST BOUILLABAISSE

The Bluebird ($31) Menu says: “Halibut, clams, mussels and shrimp simmered in a rich tomato broth. A menu favorite from the start.”

We say: Why settle on just one kind of fish? If you’re a seafood lover, a hearty stew like this one, full of halibut, clams and more, is a godsend. Be sure to ask for some bread to soak up every last bite of that broth, too.

COULIBIAC

Seafood paellla from Barrel Steak & Seafood

6 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK 2018

Fleur de Sel ($31) Menu says: “Wild Alaskan coho salmon baked in puff pastry with a duxelle of mushroom and spinach served with a lobster cream sauce.”

We say: We’ve never had this dish, but we trust Fleur de Sel with every ounce of our being to create something amazing with everything they do. This combination of vegetables, wild Alaskan salmon and a creamy lobster sauce is tantalizing, to say the least. ...continued on page 8

WE’VE GOT TABLE GAMES FOR YOUR BELLY, TOO. With over a dozen restaurants and lounges at Northern Quest, you can hit it big no matter what you’re craving. Then you can satisfy all your other appetites with a heaping helping of Vegas-style gaming and top-shelf entertainment. Or just sleep off your food coma in one of our luxury rooms, and come back for seconds tomorrow.

GLUTEN-FREE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

The Cork House ($31) Menu says: “Two enchiladas stuffed with a blend of chicken, zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, quinoa and cotija cheese, simmered in our fire roasted pasilla cream.”

We say: Not being able to eat gluten becomes the least of concerns when you order this south-of-the-border, veggie-heavy dish. Even wheat-eaters won’t miss the carbs here. A perfect melding of flavors and textures all wrapped in a corn tortilla make this a tasty treat for diets of any kind.

ROASTED GARLIC & CHICKPEA STUFFED MINI-PEPPER

Dockside ($21) Menu says: “Palouse-grown chickpeas mashed with roasted garlic and stuffed in mini bell peppers, oven roasted and served over wilted spinach, balsamic caramelized onion, and drop peppers.”

We say: You had us at chickpeas and garlic, the basis of everyone’s favorite Mediterranean dip, hummus. The deal was sealed by that mention of balsamic caramelized onion.

CHOCOLATE SIN

Hills’ Restaurant ($31) Menu says: “A rich flourless chocolate cake served with raspberry sauce and Chantilly cream.”

We say: Gluten-restricted chocolate cake lovers can still get theirs and eat it, too. The figurative and literal icing on this cake is that sweetened whipped cream, and of course generous drizzles of tart berry sauce.

8 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

DESSERTS OLD FASHIONED

Gilded Unicorn ($31) Menu says: “Warm orange coffee cake, housemade bourbon ice cream and cherry whipped cream.”

We say: You could order a drink for dessert. You could. But this edible take on one of the most popular craft cocktails is just as tempting as its spirits-based namesake. Orange bitters become orange coffee cake; the bourbon evolves into ice cream, and a liqueur-soaked garnish pairs with a splash of sugar to become cherry whipped cream. It’s not over the top if you order the actual cocktail to pair with this, too.

BRIGADEIRO

Grille from Ipanema ($31) Menu says: “A famous Brazilian chocolate candy, and a favorite for all! The Brigadeiro is made from condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter and chocolate sprinkles.”

We say: With plenty of dessert classics, from chocolate mousse to creme brulee galore, filling the third course lists of many Inlander Restaurant Week menus, step outside the box and sample this Brazilian delicacy, comparable to a bon bon or a truffle.

FRY BREAD SUNDAE

Red Tail Bar & Grill ($21) Menu says: “Traditional Native American fry bread with vanilla ice cream, honey, and huckleberry syrup topped with whipped cream.”

We say: Enjoy this culturally significant dish, a simple staple made from flour, water and salt, then fried in oil, served in an ultra-decadent way, warm and topped with regionally appropriate huckleberries, as well as honey and ice cream. ...continued on page 10

COMFORT FOOD ADULT MAC N CHEESE

Collective Kitchen Public House ($21) Menu says: “18-hour smoked beef brisket + four cheese béchamel + baby spinach.”

We say: You can eat your cheese, and veggies, too, with this concoction making a decadent twist on the pasta-from-the-box staple.

HAND-CUT BEEF STROGANOFF

Search by restaurant, neighborhood or cuisine.

10 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

Barlows at Liberty Lake ($21) Menu says: “Local choice sirloin steak sauteed with mushrooms, onions, and garlic in a rich beef sauce topped with creme fraiche over egg noodles.”

We say: Hamburger Helper, nor your grandmama’s recipe, got nothin’ on this gourmet take of the family dinner staple. If beefy noodles aren’t your favorite, also consider another comfort food favorite featured on Barlows’ Restaurant Week menu, the house-made meatloaf.

HONEY STUNG FRIED CHICKEN

1898 Public House ($31) Menu says: “Yukon mashed potatoes, rich chicken gravy, scratch-made buttermilk biscuit with honey butter.”

We say: Fill your belly until it’s about to burst with this ultra-hearty portion of Southern comfort goodness. Chef Tyler Schwenk and team’s honey butter is truly a thing to die for, and you’ll find yourself soaking up every last drop, along with that chicken gravy, using every last crumb on your plate.

EXCEPTIONAL VALUE SANTÉ RESTAURANT & CHARCUTERIE

$31 Menu highlights: Country pâté, chicken confit, braised beef, brie plate We say: On the rare chance you’ve yet to experience the upscale European dining experience that is Santé, we must recommend a stop during Restaurant Week. Owners Jeremy and Kate Hansen don’t lessen the quality of their scratch-made ingredients, or the dining experience itself, when diners are getting a meal for about half the price of what those dishes might be any other time. We hope you’ll be impressed, too.

ITALIA TRATTORIA

$31 Menu highlights: Grilled mackerel, “strata” savory bread pudding, grilled pork steak, Italia tiramisu We say: Restaurant Week is the perfect time to visit a new-to-you fine dining spot, or simply return

to one of your favorites for a special treat, like Browne’s Addition neighborhood gem Italia Trattoria. This year, owners Bethe Bowman and Anna Vogel are treating diners to several specials and a few house favorites, including the Italian ricotta and spinach dumplings as a starter, and three dessert menu mainstays.

CEDARS FLOATING RESTAURANT

$31 Menu highlights: Cedar planked salmon, steak oscar, huckleberry ice cream sundae We say: Make your reservations early for a Restaurant Week dinner at one of the most romantic spots in North Idaho, and that’s literally floating on the waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene. Featured on this year’s menu is the restaurant’s house favorite cedar-planked salmon (normally priced at $27 per plate). Truly, you’ll be dining like royalty for nearly half the price at this upscale locale. Keep in mind, as with all Restaurant Week dining experiences, to tip generously, and to plan ahead by making reservations. It’ll be much smoother sailing — or floating — for all. 

DAY PLANNER

Choose Your Own Adventure Make the most of it with one of these custom itineraries

NORTH IDAHO GIRLS’ DAY OUT SHOP: Shop until you drop along the quaint

streets of downtown Coeur d’Alene, which are filled with boutiques, vintage and antique shops, art galleries, restaurants and more. Suggested stops for a day of shopping include Marmalade Fresh Clothing (308 W. Sherman), Tiffany Blue (404 W. Sherman Ave. and 2027 Main St.) and Into the Woods (507 W. Sherman). For vintage shopping galore, head up Fourth Street to Junk (811 N. Fourth).

PAMPER: Spend a morning or afternoon at the Coeur d’Alene Resort Spa for manis and pedis ($55-$95) with the girls. Depending on your day’s plans, we advise scheduling your appointment in advance. For groups looking for a bit more pampering, the Resort Spa offers plenty of luxury packages for massages, facials and other salon services. For special group pricing and scheduling, contact the spa.

A DATE WITH THE DUDES

SPORTS: Any group of dudes will tell you that hockey is one of the dude-liest sports there is: Everyone drinks beer and cheers at the fights, and you can prove just how manly you are by wearing flimsy nylon jerseys in a really cold building. The Spokane Chiefs are playing home games during Restaurant Week at the Arena on Feb. 23 and 24, both start at 7 pm.

12 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

ACTION MOVIE: Take in a movie at the River

Park Square AMC Theaters, where the 20 screens include IMAX and Dolby Digital auditoriums.

Check out Marvel’s Black Panther (opening Feb. 16), starring Chadwick Boseman as the titular superhero, which looks action-packed and special effects-heavy enough to satisfy Dude Movie needs.

There’s great shopping to be had in downtown Coeur d’Alene.

WINE: Enjoy some pre- or post-dinner wines at

the new Castaway Cellars tasting room, located in the Coeur d’Alene Resort Plaza shops. Opening last fall, Castaway’s winemaker and co-owner Shelly Crawford chose its name and label as a tribute to her childhood in Western Montana and the region’s fly-fishing culture. With eight wines that represent vineyards across Montana, Idaho and Washington, Castaway also offers light snacks and shared plates to pair with each.

DINNER: Consider Tito’s Italian Grill, 210 Sherman Ave. ($21/person); Satay Bistro, 2501 N. Fourth St. ($31/person)

Catch the Chiefs at home on Feb. 23 and 24.

MUSIC: The Young Dubliners are an ideal party band, a raucous Celtic rock group that puts on a hell of a live show, and it seems like they’re at the Knitting Factory every year around St. Patrick’s Day. They’re returning there on March 2; be sure to have a big dinner before knocking back a few green beers.

DINNER: Consider O’Doherty’s Irish Grill, 525 W. Spokane Falls Blvd. ($21/person); Tortilla Union Southwest Grill, 808 W. Main ($21/person) ...continued on page 14

FOR BEER AND WINE LOVERS BEER: A lot of great local breweries have popped

up in the last few years, and Iron Goat is one of the very best. Try one of their delicious rotating taps — the Head Butt IPA or Paul’s Pale Ale, named for the brewery’s late co-founder Paul Edminster. And if you can’t quite make up your mind, go with a beer flight.

WINE: If you’ve got some wine connoisseurs in

your group, not to worry. Barrister Winery is right around the corner. Their Rough Justice blend, so named because the winery was started by attorneys, is a local favorite.

continued...

Nectar, in Kendall Yards, has a great selection of both beer and wine.

BOTH: To please both beer and wine aficionados,

head over to Kendall Yards, where Nectar Wine and Beer allows you to pick your poison from a wide selection. They host beer tastings on the third Thursday evening of every month, and wine tastings every fourth Thursday; they’ll only run you $10.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY CULTURAL ADVENTURE SCIENCE: Experiment with one of Mobius’ two

hands-on science centers. If your kids are very young, choose the Children’s Museum in the lower level of River Park Square where the kids can build a house out of pool noodles at the new “Build Exhibit.” Or, just a short walk to the north, check out the new Workshop at the Mobius Science Center, where you’ll be able to learn how cardboard is made. (It’s more interesting than it sounds, we swear.)

14 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

MUSEUM: If your kids are a tad older, we recommend voyaging over to the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, where kids can learn all about the Titanic, and Mom can tell them about how she saw the movie 14 times when she was in seventh grade. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10 am to 5 pm (late on Thursdays, until 8 pm). Tickets for adults are $18, children are $10, and kids under 5 are free.

SPEED: If you’re heading to a restaurant up

north, spend some time racing go-karts and getting angry at golf balls at the Wonderland Family Fun Center. Or maybe try out roller-skating — like ice skating, but drier! — at Pattison’s North nearby.

DINNER: Consider Iron Goat Kitchen & Tap Room, 1302 W. Second ($21/person); Central Food, 1335 W. Summit Pkwy. ($31/person)

Keep the kids busy at Mobius Science Center.

DINNER: Consider MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub, 9225 N. Nevada ($21/person); Nudo Ramen House, 818 W. Sprague and 9602 N. Newport Hwy. ($21/person)

INVITING A perfectly balanced entrée, brought to life with a nice Columbia Valley red or a tasty, local IPA. That’s the good life in the Inland Northwest, and INLANDERS are loving what our local restaurants are putting on the plate these days.

Every week, the Inlander has you covered in our Food section, along with Entrée, our special email, Drinkspotter, our online Happy Hour finder, and with events like Inlander Restaurant Week. The local food scene is growing by the day, so grab an Inlander every Thursday and keep up with every delicious development.

Nothing builds an appetite quite like a winter hike.

NATURE LOVERS (EVEN IN FEBRUARY!)

BIKE: Depending on conditions and warmth, your more active restaurant

goers might take the time to bike the loop around the river near Kendall Yards. Start at the Inlander building on Summit Parkway, take the Centennial Trail, dive down the Sandifur Bridge, and then chug through Peaceful Valley.

By the time you get back to Kendall Yards, you’ll have convinced yourself you deserve an appetizer.

Volunteers sort food at Second Harvest.

RESTAURANT WEEK HELPS EVERYONE EAT

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT

Making Sure Everyone Eats How Second Harvest uses your donations to feed the Inland Northwest

W

hile local chefs prepare delicious dishes for guests throughout Inlander Restaurant Week, the real MVPs are the event’s official partners at Second Harvest, who work to feed the less fortunate in the community every single day.

Second Harvest is kind of the “food bank to the food banks” in North Idaho and Eastern Washington, explains Julie Humphreys, community relations manager for the network. The nonprofit collects food from farms, food drives, grocery stores and manufacturers and then distributes it all to 250 smaller partner agencies, ranging from

16 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

small, church-basement food banks to large distribution locations.

Second Harvest also delivers fresh produce and meat directly to people who need it through its Mobile Markets that truck food to parking lots, schools, senior centers and more.

The network aims to feed families, children and the elderly, and to teach healthy eating through classes and by offering samples and recipes at the places where people are picking up food.

Children make up about 40 percent of those fed, and people utilize Second Har-

vest’s services for many reasons, from losing a job to having a medical emergency, and facing difficulties in paying mortgages, rent or bills, Humphreys says.

“There’s many, many people in our communities who can’t afford to put food on their table, let alone go out to dinner,” she says. “Many of them are the working poor, not just people trying to live off the system. Often food is the first thing to go.”

One local dad named Andrew, who shared his Hunger Story with Second Harvest late last year, says he worked in construction before an injury, and now stays home with three kids while his wife works full-time.

“Society puts a big stigma on reaching out for help, especially as the man of the house. It can make you feel like you failed your family, like you’re not good enough or you’re not doing enough,” he tells Second Harvest. “To be able to go to Second Harvest and have access to fruits and vegetables and bread, the kind of things we wouldn’t be able to afford, makes a huge difference for our family. It takes a lot of stress off of us.”  Find more hunger stories at 2-harvest.org.

Last year, Inlander Restaurant Week participants gave enough donations to provide Second Harvest with an impressive 44,708 meals, going a long way toward providing for the 55,000 people the network feeds every single week.

For every $1 donated, Second Harvest can provide five meals for some of the 132,000 people who struggle with hunger in the Inland Northwest.

There are multiple ways to donate as you enjoy your Restaurant Week 2018 experience: • New this year, guests can ask to add a donation to Second Harvest straight on their bill at participating restaurants, listed at inlanderrestaurantweek.com.

• You can also use the power of social media to give: Post the best picture of your restaurant week food on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with #IRWRaveReviews and make sure your post is public (this is super important!) and Sysco will donate five meals to Second Harvest.

nlander Restaurant Week continues to grow, in breadth and depth. In addition to offering a broader range of places — not just fancy and not just pubs — it’s also brought in newcomers to this popular event, which organizers continue to monitor and adjust so diners and dining facilities both benefit. Check out the full list of Restaurant Week newbies; we’ve highlighted a few of them here.

DAS STEIN HAUS

You won’t need to wait until Oktoberfest for an excuse to try Das Stein Haus’ German fare, which they’ve been serving for several decades. One of several newcomers to Restaurant Week, their inclusion is a perfect example of how the Inlander’s foodie-focused event can work well for even seasoned restaurants like Das Stein Haus. Mach schnell (make haste) for happy hour, 4-7 daily, and try one of their many German biers (beers), then dive into their Deutch dishes like an bratwurst or German pretzel for an appetizer, followed by classics such as Rouladen:

thinly sliced beef stuffed and rolled with bacon bits, red onion, pickle and German mustard cooked beyond fork tender. Dessert? Why apfel strudel or Black Forest cake, of course.

COLLECTIVE KITCHEN PUBLIC HOUSE

The continued expansion into Idaho’s panhandle and a willingness to work with restaurant owners to improve the event is what drew Collective Kitchen Public House’s Jason Rex back. “We noticed an impact when we didn’t participate,” says Rex, who participated in 2015 with his former Scratch restaurant in Coeur d’Alene. He’s particularly impressed with the amount of promotional literature provided to restaurants, he says.

Collective Kitchen has reprised their 18-hour smoked brisket mac and cheese, which they debuted at a recent Coeur d’Alene mac and cheese tasting event. It’s one of three choices for $21, which also includes appetizer and dessert.

Spring gets swing, strings, and other things.

PALOUSE BAR AND GRILL

No surprise that during the 2017 “Restaurant Wars” in Spokane, Palouse Bar and Grill won the Gastropub category, as well as the popular vote by attendees and judges alike. The Grill is located in the former South Hill Anthony’s spot and is known for being a little bit outside-the-box, like their watermelon steak salad and fondue.

Speaking of cheese (they’re big fans of WSU’s Cougar Gold here), for Restaurant Week, they’re topping flash-fried cheese curds with salted caramel, sautéed bacon and jalapenos for an appetizer choice, or save your cheese consumption for their Cougar Gold Mac ’n’ Cheese topped with pork shoulder, grilled chicken and Washington apples.

Although their third course is tempting — cold milk and warm cookies or spiced chocolate bread pudding — so is their suggested drink (not included in the Restaurant Week price): Palouse Apple Pie Tuaca, One Tree Cider, whipped cream, nutmeg and apple garnish.

WILEY’S DOWNTOWN BISTRO

If this downtown location looks familiar, maybe you’ve visited when it was Herbal Essence. It’s still got the fishtank and a European-American bistro feel, yet there is more local art on the walls and more vegan and gluten-free choices on the menu, like the Ghostfish Grapefruit IPA they’re recommending as an add-on to their menu.

Taste the renewed emphasis on seasonal and local ingredients, with entrees like herb-braised beef short ribs with a green-peppercorn red-wine pan sauce, scallop potatoes and fresh vegetables or marinated chicken baked with Gorgonzola, provolone, and bacon and served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables.

REPUBLIC PI

Now that they’re Restaurant Week veterans with their Downriver Grill, co-owner Darrin Gleason and partners are bringing their pizza place into the fold. Republic Pi, which is actually one of two pizza places run by this busy group (the other is the Flying Goat), demonstrates that any cuisine is fair game for Restaurant Week. Try one of three pizzas like the 30th Off Grand with red sauce, Italian sausage, pepperoni, cured ham, and a cheese blend.

Republic’s suggested pairings include Downriver Grill’s Dry Fly cocktail and the Flagship IPA from Spokane’s own Perry Street Brewing. 

20 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK 2018

W

hen it first launched in 2013, Spokane Restaurant Week truly broadened palates and minds about what Spokane and surrounding Eastern Washington restaurants had to offer. The following year it expanded to include North Idaho, namely Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls, and changed its name to Inlander Restaurant Week to represent neither city nor state; ours is a regional — and growing — culinary culture.

Restaurateurs Viljo and Autumn Basso have been longtime supporters of Restaurant Week and although they participated with Syringa Japanese Café and Sushi Bar in the past, they found the event to be a better fit for their midtown BLUEBIRD , says Autumn.

Seafood is a definite theme for the Bluebird’s three-course offering: seasonal scallops and octopus appetizers, northwest bouillabaisse and Chilean sea bass entrees, as well as a southwestern braised pork shank.

The Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort and Hotel is offering three restaurants and two price points this year, and if the weather turns bad, there’s the added bonus of their readily available hotel rooms.

Both SWEETGRASS CAFÉ and RED TAIL BAR AND GRILL ($21) offer a casual dining atmosphere with a range of menu options for Restaurant Week. Try the tender beef tips or cheddar and chive chicken at Sweetgrass, and executive chef Steven Walk and his team’s take on fry bread at Red Tail for either an appetizer or dessert with huckleberry syrup.

Additional Native-inspired dishes include the Nisqually smoked salmon chowder and elk burger at

($31), which is also offering crispy duck-breast and pan-seared perch entrée choices.

Coeur d’Alene’s Riverstone area is well-represented this year, with four participating venues, including newcomer MARTINO TUSCAN GRILL with an appropriately themed Italian menu offering that includes pan-fried calamari, gnocchi, and tiramisu ($31).

Nearby, try the arepas or grilled corn fritters with queso fresco and black beans for one of your appetizer choices at BARDENAY RESTAURANT AND DISTILLERY , which has a fig and balsamic pork tenderloin as an entrée option ($21).

ANTHONY’S is participating with both its Spokane and Coeur d’Alene restaurants, where seafood is what’s for dinner ($31), including wild Patagonia shrimp marinara with caramelized garlic over pasta.

And Brazilian-style food is on the menu at GRILLE FROM IPANEMA , such as Sopa de Fejao com Calabreza or black bean soup with sausage, or Pastel de Palmito, which is pot stickers filled with hearts of palm, both appetizers ($31). There is no way to go hungry if you select their Full Churrasco Experience for your entrée: in addition to their all-you-care-to-eat salad and hot dish bar, servers arrive at your table with mesquite-fired grilled meats of all kinds for you to try.

Although Restaurant Week has yet to extend to Sandpoint, that isn’t stopping Sandpoint-based owners of SWEET LOU’S RESTAURANT AND BAR to participate with their Coeur d’Alene location across from McEuen Park.

Try Sweet Lou’s signature bourbon-glazed bison ribs, beef and bacon meatloaf, or Manny’s Pale Ale battered fish and chips, as well as their trademark tableside S’mores or decadent skillet cookie with vanilla ice cream ($21).

“It was a great way to introduce ourselves to the community and give guests an idea of what they can expect when they dine with us,” says Sweet Lou’s Meggie Foust. “We really enjoyed participating as a restaurant and we also made time to participate as diners. We went out as a family several times and treated ourselves to perfectly portioned three course meals without breaking

Inland Northwest attractions for coming to town

22 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

RIVERFRONT PARK’S ICE RIBBON

Take in the latest Riverfront Park upgrade: its ice ribbon. The 650-foot-long pathway boasts a winding route with a “pond” for a traditional ice skating rink feel. There’s plenty of turnoff points for you to relax and enjoy some hot cocoa as well. The ribbon has an hourly rate of $6.50 for adults and $4.50 for children.

SPOKANE COMEDY CLUB

A major development in Spokane’s nightlife is not only the great restaurants found in the Inland Empire but also new entertainment options. The Spokane Comedy Club has been a major get for the city, booking big-name talent — talents like Gary Gulman, who’ll be performing on March 1. Gulman has made all of the late-night stops you’d expect a killer comic to make, from Conan to Letterman. And what’s great about the Spokane Comedy Club is you can see local comics workshop their material the night before during an open mic.

CASINOS

The region is home to several gambling and entertainment options, run by local tribes. In the West Plains, we have the long-established Northern Quest Resort & Casino and, a little farther down the road, the just-opened Spokane Tribe Casino. In Worley, Idaho, there’s also the Coeur d’Alene Casino. Both Northern Quest and Coeur d’Alene Casinos have eateries participating in Restaurant Week.

BLUEGRASS AND THE SYMPHONY

One of Spokane’s greatest treasures are the historic theaters in downtown. You can experience the beautiful restoration of the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox on March 3, when the accomplished Spokane Symphony plays with the Grammy winning Bluegrass band Steep Canyon Rangers. The band’s ability to flirt with string orchestral and party-backing is what led Steve Martin to book them as his backing band. Their Saturday night show ranges from $39 to $86.

TITANIC EXHIBIT

The Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture landed one of the most engaging walkthrough exhibits touring the world when it opened the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition in October. The immersive experience showcases the arc of the Titanic’s story, from design to its tragic end. Visitors receive a replica boarding pass for an actual passenger aboard the ill-fated ship to personalize the experience. The exhibit showcases wreckage from the ship, personal effects of its passengers, as well as recreations to show what travel would have been like on the unsinkable ship. Tickets for are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors and $10 for students.

MEET YOUR

Shawn Wheeler Ambrosia Bistro and Wine Bar

S

hawn Wheeler took the helm of the kitchen at Ambrosia in summer of 2017.

Before that, he cooked for a variety of local restaurants. Some might recognize his name from his time as chef de cuisine at Downriver Grill.

RESTAURANT WEEK: Tell me about your journey to become a chef.

WHEELER: I started off in high school washing dishes at a Vietnamese restaurant. I’m from Rapid City, South Dakota. Then I got a job at a hotel, and the chef there started teaching me how to cook. I started off in pantry, moved to broiler, and then sauté. I found out that I just really enjoyed it. I worked with a lot of people who were very talented and very willing to teach somebody who was eager to learn.

What do you love best about cooking in our region?

Seasons for sure. Growing up in South

24 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

Dakota, spring and fall are like rumors to us, so that was the first thing I noticed. A lot of what inspires me culinarily has to do with what’s seasonal, what’s fresh, what the weather’s like. I love the climate, I love the amount of fresh local product that you can get here that you couldn’t always get back East. There’s a lot of great farms and ranches around here, and some local cheesemakers who are really awesome.

How would you describe your philosophy of cooking and dining out?

The wonderful thing about food is that it’s something that brings people together. Even in restaurant kitchens, you have so many diverse people with so many different backgrounds who will look at a dish in a little bit different way than you might. When I dine out — and what I hope we can accomplish here — I feel like food is meant to be shared. It’s a shared experience and it’s the entire experience; it’s the service, it’s the

flavors, it’s the company, it’s maybe not being afraid to try something different or new. It’s all of those things. It’s a total experience.

Who are some of your culinary heroes and why?

I draw inspiration from all sorts of people — every chef I’ve ever worked for, every sous chef I’ve ever worked with, to maybe that badass sauté cook cooking next to me who is completely talented, but has just never got his shot at that top spot.

What’s your next creative challenge?

Honestly, probably Restaurant Week. This will be the first year that I’ve been the guy writing the menu. As far as something specific, I couldn’t tell you. I have so many things on my back burner that I haven’t had time to try out yet that I’ve been working on. I kind of have culinary ADD sometimes, if that makes any sense. You’ll have a dish and you’ll be like ‘all right, that’s great’ and then you get an idea out of left field and you’re like ‘now I’ve got to try this.’

That’s why I have lots of notebooks. 

Joseph Morris Luna

J

oseph Morris comes to Spokane by way of Orlando, Florida. He credits his love of crab and other fresh seafoods to visits with family in the Baltimore area. Morris brought all of these flavors with him to his studies at the Inland Northwest Culinary Academy, and now to Luna, where he’s been for about 6 years.

RESTAURANT WEEK: What was your journey to become a chef?

MORRIS: I’ve always enjoyed food, and I’ve always been at my most comfortable in the kitchen. So I just evolved from there, went to culinary school and continued to push myself and learn from every experience inside the kitchen and out.

26 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

What do you love best about cooking in our region?

I love the fact that everything food-wise is at our fingertips. We’ve got really great farm lands; though we’re not on the coast, we still are very close to great fresh seafood. We have an awesome wine region — there’s just so much that the

Northwest provides.

Describe your philosophy of food and dining out.

When it comes to food and dining out, I want to create or add to a great experience. I want the diners’ total dining experience to be an awesome one. Everything plays a part. From the moment you’re seated, to the vibe in the dining room, to when you receive your first plate, the goal is to give you a memorable experience from top to bottom.

Who are some of your culinary heroes and why?

The first culinary heroes of mine are my grandma Jordan, my mother and my aunties.

These women not only made tremendously good food, but they also showed me the power that food possesses. I was able to see how it brought people together, how it could create joy and awe, how it could inspire and motivate.

Marcus Samuelsson was the first black man who I saw really just be a beast in the kitchen. Just seeing him in action and reading about his experiences motivated me on a very personal level.

It’s awesome to now see African American chefs, such as Eduardo Jordan and Joseph Johnson, starting to really make an impact in the culinary world. They motivate me personally to try and leave my mark in the culinary world.

teve Van Zeveren moved to Coeur d’Alene from the California Bay Area in 2012 and opened Uva Italian in 2014.

RESTAURANT WEEK: What was your journey to become a chef?

VAN ZEVEREN: In reality, it was a fluke. I had a great paying union job out of high school.

I came to hate the job and walked away from it.

I could not afford to eat at my favorite restaurant (which was Italian) so I asked for a job so I could get the employee discount! Starting off washing dishes and making deliveries, the restaurant life piqued my interest. That, coupled with a deeply instilled work ethic and an ability to learn and master tasks quickly, I quickly made the rise from dishwasher to sous chef. I figured I had nothing better to do with $50,000, so I got a fancy piece of paper from the California Culinary Academy.

28 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

What do you love best about cooking in our region?

I love that the region has become a budding foodie scene — no longer just diners and steak and potatoes. I love the people’s willingness to try new things. I love the friendliness of people here. Coming from the Bay Area, it is a great change of pace.

Describe your philosophy of food and dining out.

I think when you are an owner/chef, you gain a different perspective. My goal was to create an experience that you walked away from feeling you received a great value, [and] understanding there is more to it than just what you put on the plate. Ambiance, level of service and price point all play an important role. People can go anywhere to spend their hard-earned money. You

have to give them a reason to pick you.

But in regards to food itself, I think first and foremost we eat with our eyes, so clean, crisp plating is a must. I do not like to clutter my plates with excessive garnishes or sauces. Second would be taste, taking care to make sure the flavors you choose to incorporate work well together. Seasoning correctly is huge, too. I think if you see a guest try your food and reach for the salt, you failed. Lastly, we serve Italian food so giving you large portions is a must.

Who are some of your culinary heroes and why?

I don’t really believe in heroes. Heroes let

you down. Heroes hold you back from becoming a hero yourself. If you are looking for people that inspire me: Antonio Carluccio, Michael Chiarello, and locally, Laurent Zirotti at Fleur de Sel, and Jeremy Hansen at Santé. I love anyone taking Italian food to the next level and showing the area what real Italian food is.

What do you most appreciate about the local food scene?

I love the newness of the scene. That gives all of us the boldness and the ability to be innovative. While my regular menu may be pretty great, my wine dinners allow me to try so many new things, which a lot of people have never seen. 

APPETIZER: Everyone loves a deep-fried appetizer that may be

Food pairing isn’t only for wine drinkers. After six years of operating Manito Tap House and the Blackbird, owner Patrick McPherson knows the importance of pairing the perfect beer with the right dish. Your favorite IPA might have a negative impact on your meal, so we asked the Certified Cicerone what pairings he suggested for each course. something that compliments or contrasts your dish. A salad with an acidic dressing is going to pair well with a Flanders red ale or any sour beer.

If you’re going with a cheese board to start, consider a Belgian pale ale or saison. He says the funkiness from the yeast is a great compliment to the cheese.

ENTRÉE: If you’re in the mood for something light like halibut,

your best bet will be a German hefeweizen.

“It’s going to cut fat and refresh your palate,” he says. “It’s not going to overwhelm anything.”

If you’re thinking about red meat or something more hearty, the roasty notes of a brown ale or porter will pair well.

Looking for something with a bit more hops? The caramel malts of amber and red ales will still provide that roastiness for a nice compliment.

DESSERT: Do you need something sweet that will pair well with that hazy IPA you’ve fallen in love with? A lemon cheesecake or key lime pie will do you right.

Above all else, McPherson recommends avoiding high bitterness and high alcohol beers that can wreck your palate. Save those for second dessert. 

30 INLANDER RESTAURANT WEEK

Trevor Treller with Beverly’s restaurant at the Coeur d’Alene Resort is a level-two sommelier of the Court of Master Sommeliers. Not sure what that means? Well, there are few people at that level in the area who can say the same, and it means Treller knows his stuff. These are his suggestions for what kind of wine to pair with each of Restaurant Week’s three courses. common on a Restaurant Week menu. Treller says with those kinds of appetizers, you’re going to want something a bit more acidic. One great wine that a lot of people don’t realize goes well with those appetizers, he says, is a sauvignon blanc. It cleanses your palate, so each bite will taste as good as the first.

ENTRÉE: For a hearty, fatty cut of red meat — your New York strip, ribeye or even lamb — Treller says to try a red wine like a cabernet sauvignon, a nebbiolo or merlot. For a leaner cut, try a pinot noir, which he says also pairs well with seafood. Oysters, meanwhile, go well with a muscadet. A classic burger, or even pizza, pairs well with a zinfandel or syrah, more “in your face wines.”

DESSERT: “A lot of people commit trainwrecks” when pairing wine with dessert, Treller says. The rule of thumb: Wine should always be sweeter than the dessert you’re eating. It’s a myth that chocolate and classic red wines go together, he says.

Instead, he recommends a sweeter wine like a ruby port. For something like creme brulee, go with a tawny port. 

SPIRITS

Steve Marriott, manager at Clover restaurant and bar, has been mixing cocktails at the Logan Neighborhood establishment for more than five years. The guy knows his way around the bar.

We asked him to suggest a few drinks that pair well with each course.

APPETIZER: The French 75 is a popular starter drink, with champagne mixed with gin, lemon juice and triple sec.

Not feeling champagne? Try something with vodka and citrus, such as Clover’s Golden Stonefly made with Dry Fly vodka, honey ginger bitters, Skidmore Alchemy tonics, fresh squeezed lemon juice, honey and Cocci Americana apéritif wine.

“This really works well with a salad course as you’re opening up your palate,” Marriott says. “The citrus also does a good job of cutting through heavier cream soup or creamy dressing.”

ENTREE: The Negroni is a staple that every bartender should

know — gin, campari and sweet vermouth. Marriott says the drink’s herbal essences compliment almost any dish.

“I can’t think of anything that it wouldn’t pair well with,” he says.

Prefer whiskey? Marriott would go with the whiskey smash — a nice and simple cocktail made with fresh muddled lemon, mint and simple syrup.

DESSERT: Amaro, an Italian herbal liqueur, is a popular afterdinner drink. The syrupy, black liquorice-tasting digestif helps settle your stomach and goes well with sweets. Most places in town carry the brand Fernet, Marriott says.

Not a fan? There’s always Irish coffee: a couple of sugar cubes, Jameson whiskey and heavy whipped cream on top. 
