“Savoring Spokane: Exploring Its Iconic Eateries” with Author Adriana Janovich

About the event

Join us Friday, October 25 from 12:00-1:00 pm for “Savoring Spokane: Exploring Its Iconic Eateries” with Author Adriana Janovich!

What makes a restaurant stand out from the rest? And how do you capture its essence in 400 words or fewer? Adriana Janovich, author of “Unique Eats and Eateries of Spokane: The People and Stories Behind the Food” (Reedy Press, 2024), discusses her process for researching Spokane restaurants from A to Zip’s Drive-In—and the people and stories behind them—for her new book. A longtime newspaper writer, Janovich served as the food editor at the Spokane Spokesman-Review from 2013 to 2019 before coming to Washington State University as the associate editor at Washington State Magazine. BookPeople of Moscow will be selling copies of the book, and visitors may reserve a copy ahead of time via the BookPeople website. This talk is free and open to the public, with donations welcome.
