pokane chef and restaurateur Tony Brown is switching things up again. Starting this week he s moving Stella s Cafe, his casual sandwich and burger spot inside the Saranac Commons, to the kitchen at Eyvind, which he s discontinuing. The fine dining spot debuted in late 2019, mere months before the coronavirus pandemic s onset. When we opened Stella s 10 years ago, we were so limited by the kitchen, but now we have a full kitchen, so I can do what I wanted to do 10 years ago, Brown says. In place of Stella s at the Commons, Brown is leaving the McRuins name and format. The fast-food inspired menu originally debuted at Ruins as a weekly special, offering burgers and other creative takes on popular chains signature items.

Stella s Cafe: Dirty Fries ($8)
19 W. Main Ave., 290-5927, stellastogo.com
While many of us might worship Guy Fieri s trailblazing sense of hair care and fashion (or not), we can all agree the dude knows his way around tasty comfort food. So it was no surprise that when he pulled his
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives convertible up to Ruins door a few years back, he found his way to sing the praises of Chef Tony Brown s dirty fries. During the pandemic, Brown moved the dish to Stella s in Saranac Commons, but the appeal remains the same: Delicious, crispy fries covered in a house-made aioli, salsa verde and melt-in-your-mouth pork shoulder. The dirty fries are priced like a side, but they easily make a meal and a damn good one at that. (DAN NAILEN)
