Spokane/food 2010

 Spokane seems to be brewing up some great new ventures that are focusing on local food.  New and exciting eats are on the way that carry charisma and good community ethics. We have chefs starting underground food eateries that seem to be mobile and will feed people in unusual places. We will be seeing extensive high end wine dinners that feature food & wine within 50 miles. Cool food markets that feature only local food and other organics, custom butchering that will allow customers to place whole hog, steer, lamb or wild game orders in for a standard break-down to a more customized  meat spread; The Big Table dinners, cheese making using Spokane Family farm milk. And we can't forget the re opening of a steak house that Spokane has seen before. Check out  popupspokane.tumblr.comwhere you will find chef David Blaine's new venture of unique eats. And thewanderingtable.com where chef Adam Hegsted is playing with his creativity by bringing something cool and unique to Spokane with his fresh and local approach, chefs table. There are also other events happening, like '15,' a dinner shaped around local wineries and food. 15 courses of small bites paired with wine that will have a multitude of textures, flavors and creativity. Like many new things in Spokane the new comes and goes but great things stick around and both nomad food sharing ideas and butcher shops I think will last to be old news. So good luck chefs I at least will be watching and attending and I am stoked. Thanks for being creative and extraordinary.
