Our friend @ChefChadWhite is one of the most recognizable faces in our local culinary landscape. We interviewed him at the new location of @ZonaBlancaCeviche to learn how he approached and embraced the shutdowns, why he’s so passionate about supporting the Spokane community, and what's next for him and @cwhospitalitygrp.

“At the end of the day, our real heroes have been the community. It’s just incredible how much love they have for their [local] businesses. And out of excitement, my team and I are like ‘We’re gonna do great when we come out of this pandemic, look at all the lessons we learned! We really understand our business and we’re gonna do so much better.’”

It's @kentuckyderby weekend, so it's time to make @adrianajanovich's Double Mint Julep! Welcome May by making a big batch of Mint Simple Syrup and keep it in your fridge to add a bit of bite and freshness to your cocktails and lemonade all summer long!

Mint Simple Syrup
-1 cup water
-1 cup granulated sugar
-½ cup fresh mint leaves
•Bring water and sugar to just barely a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking to dissolve the sugar.
•Add mint leaves, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook—without stirring—for about 10 minutes, or just until the mixture is slightly reduced.
•Remove from heat and let steep until cooled to room temperature. Discard mint leaves.
•Store in a covered glass jar. If refrigerated, may be used for up to six months.
