Cda Casino chef heading to NYC

Chef Adam Hegsted of the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort picks leaves off of stinging nettle plants along the trestle that carries golf carts around Circling Raven golf course.

Adam Hegsted, executive chef at the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort in Worley, is not in the kitchen. He’s out on the golf course.

Drivers of the passing golf carts eye the chef, dressed in his black jacket, with a mix of confusion and amusement. He’s not carrying clubs. Instead, he’s got a plastic bag in one gloved hand. A reporter and photographer trail behind.

He points out the various edibles as we walk – wild mustard, Oregon grape, cattails – but he has something else in mind. Lorie Hutson, SR Full story.
