6. Inland Pacific Kitchen 304 W Pacific Ave, Spokane, WA 99201 // 509.464.6541 C hef Jeremy Hansen raised the culinary scene in Spokane when he created Inland Pacific Kitchen in the Washington Crack- er Building. You might recognize his name or his meticulous craft from his restaurants Santé, Common Crumb Bakery, or his newest creation, Biscuit Wizard, located in Saranac Commons. At Inland Pacific Kitchen, each menu is designed to tell a story. The dishes are served as “small plates” meant for sharing. Each one is about 8-10 bites each. We spent about 3 hours eating our dinner and it was so pleasant and enjoyable. This is one of the lovely benefits to Inland Pacific Kitchen. They put a lot of thought when purchasing their chairs to make sure they were extra com- fortable. Chef Jeremy is passionate about sharing time with loved ones over food and creating memories around the dinner table, so you are invited to stay as long as you want. An awesome feature at Inland Pacific Kitchen is the array of table lamps they have at the front of the bar. This allows you to be able to see your dish and appreciate the craftsmanship that went into its creation. Each menu at Inland Pacific Kitchen lasts about 6-10 weeks. While at the Washington Cracker Building, take a peek in- side their new Whiskey Den, Hogwash. It has a very cozy, warm vibe with nice couches, excellent drinks, and burgers. THE BEST PLACES TO CELEBRATE YOUR NEXT SPECIAL OCCASION September | October 2017 61
