Wednesday, May 20th
Chef Negussie | Ethiopia
Chef Negussie is originally from Ethiopia and has lived in Spokane for the past 20 years. He learned to cook from his mother, who owned and operated a restaurant in Ethiopia until the government rezoned the area and took the property. She taught him the recipes and techniques that he still uses todayโfood that reflects his culture, tradition, and care for others. For Negussie, it is an honor to share his motherโs cooking with his community and to bring a taste of home to those around him.

Chef Rohit | India
Chef Rohit shares the vibrant flavors of Indian cuisine at Feast World Kitchen. Originally from India, Rohit grew up surrounded by the aromas of traditional home cooking, which inspired his passion for authentic flavors and spices.
Through dishes like butter chicken, dal tadka, and classic street foods such as kathi rolls and onion bhaji, Rohit brings the warmth and diversity of Indian cuisine to Spokane. His goal is to create flavorful, comforting dishes that introduce guests to the rich culinary traditions of India.

This scholarship supports international students facing unexpected financial hardship, from war and economic instability in their home countries, to the loss or illness of family members supporting their education.
Spokane Colleges is currently home to 200 international students from more than 40 countries. This fundraiser celebrates the cultures, stories, resilience, and community these students bring to Spokane.

Chef Youssef | 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 Zaโatar. 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 Youssef is excited to share his Syrian flavors with Spokane, serving up Chicken Shawarma, Kebab Hindi, Harraq Osbao, Hummus, and more. Get ready for a culinary adventure!
