Region feeds our winter cravings

Our Wednesday Food story about mac ’n’ cheese made us (hungry and) curious about other comfort foods people crave at their favorite Inland Northwest restaurants during winter. Here’s a sampling of responses from Facebook:

Jayme Wichman

Wolf Lodge past CDA. Best steak ever.

Kristin Havlicek Williams

Thai food from Thai Kitchen on Pines in the Valley. Their pad thai and massaman curry are awesome!

Christian Runkle

Moontime in CDA…GUMBO!

Alexa Martinek

Oh man … Soulful Soups is THE BEST. Almost every soup I’ve ever tried there for a few years has made me feel wonderful and cozy inside.

Eva Silverstone

Mac ’n’ cheese at the Manito Tap House – a whole day’s calories in one meal (most likely) but so worth it!

Tracy Brumley Obermayer

Kelly’s Irish Pub in CDA … The shepherd’s pie.

Jimmy’s Down the Street: Their homemade chicken and dumplings.
