This time last year, these plates were gracing tables of patrons at the Grand. Keep up the support of restaurants big and small. 2021 is our year!

Over the course of the last year, I’ve had some down time to adventure throughout the Pacific Northwest, journaling my travels, and developing simple, comforting recipes.

These adventures have culminated into one of my most passionate side projects, showcasing local culinarians, wine makers, brewers, distillers, farmers, and ranchers and the recipes developed from their contributions to this beautiful world.

Cheers and enjoy!
