Erica grew up on the westside of the state and still has family that lives there. She was moved to California in her early 20s and ended up as a Sous Chef and Pasta Apprentice at the famous Felix, in LA. She moved back to Spokane with her husband to put down roots.

Erica started on at G&R as a line cook who wanted a step back. When the pandemic shut G&R down, she started baking for us. The obvious bread service for the tasting menu and country loaf for grilling bread for the a la carte menu came first. Then the ciabatta which is still the basis for our SaltBox sandwiches. Slowly she took on the pasta program and now all pasta decisions go through her.

Erica is our longest standing employee, we are proud to have her on our side!
