A WORD FROM THE EDITOR

Welcome to the delicious world of dining and entertainment in Northern Idaho! We are in a very unique area here in the Inland Northwest; Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint areas are intrinsically linked to the greater Spokane area. Spokane residents love to play and enjoy the beautiful scenery and outdoor life in Northern Idaho, and Spokane is Northern Idaho’s connection to our area’s international airport, local medical facilities and cultural events. We bring it all together here to help you find just the dining experience you are looking for. We keep you informed about the neighborhood hot spots and the longstanding successes of the Inland Northwest. In this issue we present to you Uva, downtown Coeur d’Alene’s newest resident Italian eatery, and some very important anniversaries for a few of our most successful local favorites. Capone's Pub and Grill is celebrating their 25th anniversary as Coeur d'Alene's hottest local Americanstyle sports pub. They started out in a tiny shack that was once a gas station and have blossomed to now have three sports pubs, also in Post Falls and Hayden. Moon Time in Coeur d'Alene is also celebrating with 20 years as the Inland Northwest's original gastro pub. They have established their following by serving Northern Idaho and Spokane with upscale pub cuisine at six locations with servers and cooks who really love their jobs. And, Sandpoint's own Pend d'Oreille Winery is celebrating 20 years of vinting excellence! My how they have grown to produce not only their awardwinning wines, but now with their gift shop and restaurant are a one-stop shop, wine and food destination. The Sizzle'n Cuisine is a great resource to find what’s really special among our area's restaurants, wineries, distilleries and breweries, local markets, specialty shops, and entertainment; with or without your smart phone. Look us up online for up-to-date happenings. We make it easy to find the food and fun!

SEASONS EXOTIC MUSHROOM RISOTTO Chef Scott, Seasons of Coeur d’Alene 209 Lakeside Ave., Downtown Coeur d'Alene 664-8008

INGREDIENTS

5-6 C. Vegetable or chicken broth – if packaged choose low sodium 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 onion diced small 1 tsp. minced garlic 1 ½ C. assorted wild and cultivated mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced or torn. We use an assortment such as Matsutake, lobster mushrooms, king trumpet, morel and chanterelles when available. 2 C. Arborio or Carnaroli rice 1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme 1 C. dry white wine ½ tsp. kosher salt – possibly more to taste ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 Tbsp. cold butter 1 C. finely shredded parmesan cheese – not the powdery kind

METHOD

In a medium saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low just to keep the stock hot. In a large heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic, stirring frequently until fragrant and soft – about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook stirring until wilted and any liquids extracted are evaporated. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, to coat the grains, about 1 minute. Fold in the thyme. Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until nearly evaporated. Add 1 cup of the hot stock, salt and pepper.

SEASONS

EXOTIC M

USHROOM

RISOTTO

Cook stirring very frequently until the stock is nearly absorbed by the rice. Continue adding more stock ¾ of a cup at a time as the previous addition has been absorbed, continuing until the rice is tender and creamy, approximately 18-20 minutes. Fold in the butter and parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve immediately, garnish with a sprinkle of parmesan and perhaps your favorite garnish of thin slice prosciutto, Serrano ham, truffle oil or arugula gremolata. ENJOY!

CAPONE'S FAMOUS PIZZA

CAPONE'S Classic baseball cards, concert tickets and fun memorabilia adorn the tabletops and bar, while the walls are adorned with vintage baseball gloves and antique sports gear. Capone’s Pub and Grill is a place like no other in the Inland Northwest. And with three restaurant locations— Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls and Hayden, Idaho—they have continued to satisfy diners for the past 24 years. Tom and Teresa Capone filled a niche that needed filling by opening the original Capone’s on October 7, 1991, in what is now Coeur d’Alene’s midtown community. The original “Taxi”-inspired restaurant on Fourth Street includes the color scheme from Mario’s, the hip spot on the show. The cuisine is East Coast comfort food with a twist using the best ingredients, locally sourced meats including Heritage Meats, with freshbaked bread daily, scratch-made hand14

tossed pizza, and house-made soups and dressings. The Tommy’s Pastrami sandwich has been a Capone’s best-seller for years. “We use the best ingredients we can while still making it affordable,” says Teresa. The pub and grill is a cornerstone in Coeur d’Alene’s Midtown and has come a long way since it began as a little shack, having been expanded eight times during its 24 years in business—the most recent this past fall. The newest addition to the restaurant has come with more outdoor space for diners and parking and a whole lot of new kitchen space. Capone’s expanded Coeur d’Alene kitchen further enables them to better serve their customers and do larger events and catering. Their restaurant concept had a winning recipe that was well received; a

hit among locals and tourists alike, so in 2006, the couple welcomed the Post Falls Capone’s location, and in 2013, Hayden residents were delighted when a third Capone’s landed in their neighborhood. Both Post Falls and Hayden locations offer the same Capone’s formula with its pub feel, sports memorabilia-lined walls, tables and ceilings, and the same awardwinning pizza and epic tap selection. “We appreciate the community we live in and are especially grateful for our regular customers,” says Teresa. Capone’s has received a mile-long list of awards and accolades spanning across more than two decades, thanks to its 41 microbrews on tap, full liquor bar, excellent homemade soups, sandwiches, burgers and delicious pizza, combined with their family friendly fun-filled sports environment. Multiple HDTVs are at each location,

MOON TIME

20 YEARS STRONG AS THE INLAND NORTHWEST'S ORIGINAL GASTRO PUB At a time when no one was opening restaurants tucked away in a neighborhood, along came Moon Time. It wasn’t the season of the neighborhood pub. Gastro pub wasn’t a cliché buzz word, and opening a restaurant outside of a high-traffic commercial zone wasn’t the trend. It was the start of something.

public house hangout here was a new concept. Here was a new place to be connected to your neighbors, servers that know you, familiar faces, exceptional food and great selection of beer; something worth checking out. And, this is what they created. Their motto was appropriate then and always has been: “Every

Walking into their pubs, you will notice the diversity of patrons, defining the nature of the term public house: an 85-year-old couple seated near a 21-year-old who’s sitting across from a group of businessmen.

through their responses. Chris Schultz, their award-winning chef, has been at the helm in the kitchen and was hired in the first weeks of operation when Moon Time opened. He had just returned from working in Alaska at a salmon camp, and on his first day back was eating a Caesar salad at the pub when John asked him if he wanted a job. He’s been there ever since. He appreciates being allowed to be creative and is inspired to keep seasonal changes as interesting as the core favorites on the menu. The food is traditional with a modern take, and the menu always has some new trendy items. Chris has turned

Luke has been with them 12 years and feels that having good owners to work for and the people they have coming in the door helps build a crew that likes to come to work every day. “We have a lot of freedom … and a good core group that has been here a while. It’s up to us what we want to do; it lets us be creative, whether it’s creating good specials or soups.” Luke adds, “We have a chicken breast burger we now call The Lloydwich in the computer because [Llyod, a regular Porch patron], comes in and orders it all the time. I have an appreciation for the food we have—we are lucky to have the people we have here, and the owners take care of us.” Luke also coaches soccer with his kids and appreciates their ability to work schedules around everyone’s family time. “We have quite a few families back in the kitchen; it’s nice to be able to work around their schedules. … It’s just a great place to work.” Josh agrees, and he says he feels lucky working for owners who genuinely care and takes pride in their customer interaction. “People have come to expect to be treated well. I really love our guests, the people I work with, the people I work for. I think there is a different attitude here than anyplace else I have worked. People come in to have fun, not just to eat and drink.” And, it takes a lot to make that happen that way. He is constantly welcoming people, making sure they get served promptly, even throughout our interview. “The best part is the neighborhood family atmosphere, from the minute they come in the door. It’s important. It’s about the experience they have in our place,” says Josh. The common thread is that the employees really are invested in what they are doing. They raise the comfort level of their establishments with their job skills and the mere fact that they love what they do here. Here is where the owners have really hit the jackpot. They have been able to nurture great teams in all of their places, with an idea that started with Moon Time. Raise a glass and cheers! Here’s to another 20… and more.

DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD DINING - ITALIAN STYLE!

Napoli Pizza and Pasta in Vallejo, California, is where it all began for Chef Steve Van Zeveren. After graduating high school in 1993, he was employed at a factory building transit buses. After several years, he decided it was time for a change—a big change—and went from the factory to the kitchen. He began working for an “old Italian guy” at Napoli Pizza and Pasta washing dishes. It didn’t take long before he worked his way up to making pizzas and cooking genuine Italian cuisine. After six years honing his skill under the direction of owner/Chef Antonio Guerrera, and graduating from the California Culinary Academy, Steve would move on, never forgetting the authentic aromas and flavor, along with the passion he saw the chef bring to the table daily. In May 2012, after a trip to the Coeur d’Alene area to visit friends, Steve was determined to move his family away from 24

Vallejo to the beautiful, quaint Idaho town. Less than two months later—July 1, 2012—Steve, his wife and two boys were beginning their new chapter in the Idaho panhandle. Steve was hired at the Coeur d’Alene Resort, where he worked in the bakery as well as the convention center kitchen, followed by a stint as the kitchen manager at McKenzie River Pizza Company. Sister Lisa Van Zeveren worked her way up the corporate ladder from server, to floor manager to general manager in various Napa Valley locations. Together, with his experience cooking and managing restaurants since 1998, combined with Lisa's restaurant knowledge, has created the perfect partnership. At their Italian eatery, Uva, they made their dream of running a family owned and operated business come true. Uva originally opened in the building at

the corner of Appleway and Fourth streets in May 2014. But when the location on Lakeside Avenue became available to lease, they were ready for the move downtown. They closed the doors on Appleway June 21, 2015, and less than a week later, opened up the doors at their new location, which fell on one of the single biggest tourism days in Downtown Coeur d’Alene—the Ironman competition—on June 28. They managed to accomplish a speedy yet seamless transition by running their own Ironman of sorts. As Steve says, downtown reflects more of what they want to achieve: the look, the neighborhood, the scene. Uva has much to offer its downtown patrons and the surrounding business clientele, with 90 seats in the main dining room and side rooms, and 40 seats for private dining, with accommodations for meeting space.

The selection ranges from the simple everyday wines to those for the more refined palate, with 75 varietals by the glass or bottle. You can also find local brews from Hayden’s Mad Bomber and Spokane’s River City Brewing.

We draw our inspiration from our local surroundings, travel to coffee-producing countries, and have surrounded ourselves with a group of community-minded artists, thinkers and outdoor enthusiasts who live, work and play in the pristine landscape of the North Idaho Panhandle. Every decision we make at DOMA is rooted in sustainability–from providing a higher-than-fair-trade compensation to the farmers we work with to using an energy-saving Loring Smart Roast in our production facility. DOMA was founded in 2000 with the goal of creating an environmentally sound company that roasts great coffee. DOMACoffee.com

WINE TIME California, where he worked his way up from vineyard manager to assistant winemaker. Although his degree is in accounting, he took several classes at UC Davis and San Jose State University to nurture his winemaking skills. Ten years later, in 1995, the couple established Pend d’Oreille Winery in Sandpoint, Idaho. The timing was perfect, as Sandpoint was growing in importance as a tourism destination, and the Washington grape-growing region was becoming better established with new vineyard plantings and a budding opportunity to create world-class wines. In no time, Pend d’Oreille Winery would be producing a number of award-winning wines to include its Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah,

Huckleberry Blush and reserve wines. The couple’s love of winemaking, and each other, has only grown stronger over the past two decades. And their list of awards and accolades continues to grow, validating the winery, its winemaker and the wine. Great fruit is easily found only a few hours away, allowing the couple to live in a town they adore while living the life they’ve dreamed of, creative and fulfilled. Using traditional French methods and grapes sourced from world-class vineyards around the Northwest, Winemaker Steve brings outstanding wines to tables near and far. And now in the newly restored historic Belwood Building, the tasting room, gift shop and kitchen bring entertainment, shopping

and the flavors of wine and food together in a gathering place that is chic and engaging. The building has been beautifully restored with environmentally friendly materials, crafted by local builders, to modern design standards. It’s a meeting place for the locals and a not-to-miss hot spot on the visitors’ agenda.

The winery’s tasting room and lifestyle gift shop are open Tuesday thru Saturday at 11:00 a.m., Sundays at noon, closed Monday. Pend d’Oreille vintages can be found in fine area restaurants as you dine in Sandpoint, Coeur d’Alene, Spokane and the surrounding area. Steve and Julie are very much involved with the community of Sandpoint, not only through their winery, but through their participation in various events and charities. They host one of Sandpoint’s must-attend community events, the annual Harvest Party, which takes place in September. The celebration includes grape stomping, aroma sniffing, cork spitting, games, live music and family fun for all.

Steve says that it’s their “connection with the community” that has made their business successful, and it’s that rapport that has sustained their success. “Without this strong sense of community ownership in our winery, we would never have experienced the success or growth that we have been able to accomplish,” he adds. “We value that relationship, and it inspires us to create new wines while giving back every day.” Pend d’Oreille Winery has become so much more than a place to taste great wines. It is a place to enjoy delicious food, shop for unique gifts, enjoy live music by local artists, and refill your own wine jug—“Think green, drink red.” It’s the only winery in the area where you can stop in, get a refillable jug and choose from Pend d’Oreille’s variety of wines, come back to refill as you wish—friendly to the pocket book and the environment— while enjoying your favorite wines.

TASTE WORTH A TRIP

Taste WORTH A TRIP

CHURCHILL'S STEAKHOUSE SPOKANE'S PRIME DINING DESTINATION Big-city fine dining with superior attention to detail and taste is what Churchill’s Steakhouse has become known and loved for. It has become a tradition among the locals for special dinners when the highest of white-tablecloth service is called for. Named for Sir Winston Churchill, a connoisseur of great food and drink, Churchill’s opened its luxurious dining space on Post Street in Downtown Spokane in 2008 offering prime cuisine. From day one, guests have been treated to the highest quality of service and rich quality products presented to its patrons. From the Mid-Western Prime Beef to the imported butter from Belgium, you can be assured that you are being treated to only the best of the best; the highest quality simple food done well. This has been their founding— and successful—principle from 66

the start, and they haven’t varied from it. They have been named Best Steakhouse and Best Fine Dining in nearly every local readers’ poll. And Churchill’s isn’t just impressing Spokane food enthusiasts, but food aficionados across the country! Churchill’s received the honor of being named one of the Top 10 Steakhouses in America by Prime Time Top 10. The atmosphere and quality is considered Chicago style and equal in excellence to the food. The beautiful interior is adorned with rich mahogany, natural stone, detailed wood trim finish and lush leather. The bone china dinnerware and crystal stemware add an extra touch of elegance that is unequaled. All of this is topped off by the delightful tones of the piano that cascade from the lounge seven nights a week. If you’re in town for a night

or if you’ve lived in Spokane for years, Churchill’s should be your destination for a great meal, no matter what the occasion. Whether it’s your birthday or anniversary, if you have an important business dinner, if you are going to propose to that special someone, or if you just want to treat yourself because you deserve it, the staff specializes in serving it all. Locals often bring in family or friends from out of town to impress them and just show them Spokane’s culinary treat. The regulars come in because they know what to expect—the best— while newcomers are always pleasantly surprised and the staff often hears, “I can’t believe I haven’t been here!” And then … they keep coming back for more. For those who think Churchill’s is simply out of their league, too upscale or too expensive, they are absolutely

wrong. Stop in for Wimpy Wednesdays, where they serve up USDA Prime Beef burgers in their lounge, accompanied with hand-cut fries for just $7. The burgers are exceptional! Get there early, as this is known to be a very popular week night to stop in the restaurant and often times a standing room-only affair. Guests also have the pleasure to dine privately. The elegant private dining room seats up to 30 guests—comfortably of course— or up to 60 for that receptiontype occasion.
