Wednesday, May 6th
Chef Elizabeth | Central America
Chef Elizabeth is excited to make her signature chicken fajitas, tostadas, and delicious tres leches, just like back in her original home country!
Thursday, May 7th
Chef Nader | Syria
Did you know that Syria is one of the oldest continuously inhabited countries? This historic culture boasts incredibly flavorful Levantine cuisine, characterized by use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including blends like Za’atar. Often, if there are five shawarma stands in a neighborhood, customers will find the one whose spice blend is their favorite and become a regular lunch customer! Chef Nader is originally from Syria and relocated to Jordan, where he spent a decade honing his culinary skills, particularly in baking and desserts. In August 2023, he moved to the United States with his wife and five children. He began his culinary journey as a chef at Gonzaga and is currently working at Alpine Bakery. Chef Nader is excited to cook at Feast, serving delicious dishes like Chicken Shawarma, Harraq Osbao, Baklava and more!
Friday, May 8th
Chef Diego | Colombia
Chef Diego was born in Colombia and is continuing his seven year career in the culinary arts that has spanned four countries. Cooking is his passion and was inherited from his mother, who was a chef for more than 38 years. Chef Diego has a degree in gastronomy, and strengthened his skills for five years in Ecuador. He loves to think about how much people will enjoy his food, and uses that as inspiration to give the best of everything he’s learned. Come and enjoy the flavors of Colombia.
Saturday, May 9th
Chef Isa | Mexico
Chef Isa’s cuisine shares the flavors of her hometown back in Mexico. Try her authentic mole and delicious Tres leches! Plus, she has her own catering & events business: Las Delicias de Isa, and is working towards her own restaurant: Isa’s Rest Bar.
Sunday, May 10th
Chef Shaista | Afghanistan
Afghan culture takes great value in strong family ties. People often prioritize the needs and well-being of their family over their own. This importance of family and community is shared in Chef Shaista’s approach to sharing her culinary mastery to Spokane. Chef Shaista and her family love to serve up delicious, scratch-made, aromatic dishes like Beef Mantou, Chicken Curry, Lamb Kebab, and more!
