Grandma Zula’s Opens In Post Falls

As a little girl growing up in Spokane,  Kari Turnbough learned to cook on a woodstove in her Grandma Zula’s kitchen. While her new Post Falls restaurant, appropriately called Grandma Zula's Kitchen, isn’t an exact replica, it does include a woodstove. And knick-knacks on the walls. Water is served in mason jars. And menu items are homemade, comfort-food goodness. “My grandma loved cooking for people, and I think I inherited that trait,” says Turnbough. That means from-scratch baked goods — wheat bread, rye, sourdough, sandwich buns, even biscuits (wheat or white), with homemade gravy ($5-$7). Griddlecakes are made with real buttermilk ($4-$7) while the Johnny Apple Cakes include red applesauce and a honey-cream cheese topping ($7)/Carrie Scozzaro, Inlander. More here.
