SPOKANE, Wash.– Latah Bistro is serving up a creative solution to a complex problem. The Spokane-area restaurant just debuted dining globes. Server and social media manager Haley Hill said it’s their latest way to adjust to the challenges of this pandemic. Indoor dining is still banned in Washington to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“The globes were a hit this weekend,” Hill said.
During a cold Inland Northwest winter, globes can provide a cute and cozy getaway. It allows restaurants to expand their seating, too. At Latah Bistro, reservations are required. They have both a happy hour option and dinner option for booking the globes. Hill said each one is properly sanitized between guests.
We live in interesting pandemic times, and the culinary industry is no different. While takeout and outdoor patio dining are the norm during the latest shutdown through Jan. 4 in Washington, Idaho is still fair game for in-person dining, as are the casinos in Washington.
I’ll never say no to steakhouses, one of my all-time favorite dining options, and it’s over and done – actually, medium rare – if prime rib is on the menu. Two recent dining excursions have included first times at Masselow’s Steakhouse at Northern Quest Resort & Casino and Chinook Steak, Pasta & Spirits reimagined by Adam Hegsted at Coeur d’Alene Casino in Worley.
