The cheapest place to get cans of Cougar Cheese…read more Their hours are limited but we sometimes manage to stop by. Sometimes I get ice cream but usually I'm there to get a small bag of Cougar Cheese or cans of it to give to friends/family we plan to visit. They're $30 per can there (last I checked) and normally $40+ anywhere else (even in Pullman). I often feel like I'm remembering the price incorrectly so I try to pay check on it (both at Ferdinand's and at random stores). I think I saw cans "on sale" for about $50 at a grocery store in Redmond, WA once. They also ship the cheese cans during the colder months but online they're currently $33 (per 30 oz can) + shipping. Tip: WSU's Sensory Science Center is super close by and often needs panelists for food and beverage (including alcohol) studies. They usually thank participants with Ferdinand's gift cards (usually $5-10 but sometimes more) so most of our visits are immediately after participating in a study. They don't have panelist studies every day/week so it's best to get on their email list.

Then hit the bakery area for the local loaves. Scored the last loaf of cranberry walnut bread. The also had Santa Cruz 32oz bottles of lemonade, 4 bottles for $9.00!! These run $3.99 each at Yoke's! Even if I don't buy much, I love wandering around the store. Staff are very friendly & helpful too!

I'm staying in Lewiston and visiting Moscow for a music conference at the college. As an Oregonian…read morespoiled by local food and easy to find organics, it's been difficult here for me. Oh, but THIS store! It's wonderful. It's all about the local food scene, and quality. The cupcakes in the bakery case are made there, and the pretty frosting designs were naturally colored. They bake their own breads. The deli line was led wonderful, there's a coffee stand, and the smoothies are made to order with real fruit, no mixes. The prepared foods case was also well stocked and generous with variety...I was able to find a delicious snack for the afternoon. The produce section is colorful and impressive...they even have Buddha's hand! This has an upscale Whole Foods vibe (pre Amazon ownership), and Moscow is lucky to have it. Adding a few words to hopefully trigger this in searches for vegan, organic, lunch and dinner, since it didn't come up in a search for those topics for me. I "discovered" the co op just driving by.

Over the years, I've trudged up and down the Touchet sneakily scouring for tricky trout. During my…read moreadventures, I've noticed a unique house along the stream's shores. This house had a goat-shaped sign with "Monteillet" on it. For years, I wondered what it was. I eventually found out it was a fromagerie, or goat cheese "factory". I always thought it cool and out of place to find something like this amongst the palouse and wheat fields, but I am a goat cheese-making illiterate. I wanted to get educated. I emailed the Monteillet and made contact. I had friends visiting, and I thought it would be a treat to visit the fromagerie. So, we scheduled a tasting. I corresponded with Jessica, and this ended up being the person who gave us a tasting (I did talk to one of the owners, Joan, on the phone, and she was super nice, and also pointed us to the actual fromagerie when we pulled into the driveway). Jessica is someone who's interned with Monteillet & has also learned about cheese-making in France. Her welcoming demeanor and text book knowledge of cheesemaking was felt within seconds. Monteillet doesn't officially open its doors for tastings for a couple more weeks (tastings are $10/person & a little more with a wine pairing). Right about NOW is when the fromagerie is hopping. The painfully cute baby goats are starting to get weened & the mommy goats are peaking with their milk. You could tell the farm was hoppin'. So, we made our way in to the tasting room. One must be forewarned of the aroma. Cheese is definitely in the house and the nose knows. But HEY, it's cheese, so it's worth the aromatic suffering! The tasting room is a little small, but it was perfect for our party of four. We saddled up to the bar and Jessica already had an array of their cheeses ready. Two of us opted for just the cheese tasting while a third chose to have a wine pairing as well (the fourth tried finding a clothes pin for his nose). Jessica walked us through something like 5-7 different cheeses, and we also tried a Mexican chocolate on some of them as well (YUM!). Jessica was the best of hosts. We were all a bit taken aback by how young she was because her breadth of cheese knowledge was astounding and she was the best host. She talked about how things are really coming together for Monteillet. They've been featured in some national magazines, are staged to tour Farmer's Markets (I saw the owner Joan at the one in Pasco last weekend), and were also in an NPR piece (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125425910). At the moment, they are also putting the finishing touches on an exquisite outdoor dining area (for tastings, events, visiting chef presentations, etc.). Overall, we had the best experience here. Wouldn't anyone like to get a personalized tour of a farm?! The goats and sheep were also cool to see (the baby goats clearly stole the show [they were painfully too cute!]....as well as the big lumbering and sweet doggies walking the grounds). We all ended up buying quite a load of cheese. I bought a full round of a soft cheese, and also a quarter wedge of the hard cheese (my fave). The names of the cheeses escape me, but there wasn't a non-excellent one in the bunch--it was just hard to pick one to buy. WARNING: the smell can be potent. You should have a tupperware container at the ready when you get home, otherwise your kitchen/house will explode with cheesiness! But if you're like me, you won't mind. In fact, you might be trying to figure out a way to bottle the smell for cologne (the ladies, must like this smell, right?). The cheese has been excellent, and I can't wait to make another trip to the fromagerie!

Super tasty cheese!…read more Came Saturday for the cheese tasting and I was blown away by the taste of every one of the eight cheeses we sampled. Right now, the cheese is 95% goat, 5% sheep's milk, using the milk collected from free-range animals raised on-site. Can't get more local than that. For $10, we tried their: cardebelle, larzak, le roinoir, provencal, feta, causse neir, causse blank and wasabi-ginger chevre. Everything was really tasty and after much debate, we left with the feta and the provenchal in hand. Who could resist the provencal, some of its ingredients include truffle oil, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, savory, peppercorn...drooling yet? I don't blame you, it's good. They are open to the public for tastings Friday and Saturday noon-5pm. You are welcome to wander around the farm, see the goats and sheep (the baby goats are super cute) and the garden. Wine pairings are available for an extra $5. k, that's all I got for you, go try the cheese, it's fabulous!

Other grill type restaurants but Jimmy John's has held on for the last decade. Coug out of fries and burgers? Need something more substantial than Pita Pit?! That Busch Light needs some tasty break to soak it up. Nothing different here to other Jimmy John locations nationally. The hallmark here is the fresh bread and the "freaky fast" TM delivery. It won't break the bank either so that's a plus as a college student. Not much for spice myself but their hot peppers are amazing on any sandwich. Well worth the add on price to treat your taste buds even further. The pickle isn't a bad addition either although each employee seems to cut it differently. Sometimes it's free and sometimes it's a dollar. Otherwise they have several classic sandwiches or you can make your own a la Subway. Go Cougs!

We stumbled upon this place while walking to another spot, and instantly had a place that we were excited about going every time we come into town! It was open by a gentleman who felt like the area could use a specialty butcher that carried a little bit nicer cuts of meat, slightly larger variety and had a cool vibe. He accomplished all three! They carry all the standard beef, chicken and pork, but also do some more specialty meats like rabbit and specialty sausages. We also loved the fact that they carry some good cheeses, including a really nice aged Gouda! My best half loves her some aged Gouda, so anytime we find something good we make note of it. The Decour here is slightly eclectic, but still familiar. They've also got some really cool custom doors that lead back into The back and windows that allow you to see where all the action is taking place. Never anything gruesome, but it's nice to see where the meat is actually being cut and prepared. In addition to the delicious non-vegetarian options, they carry some different varieties of crackers, some legit Marcona almonds and straight from the farm eggs. Prices were very fair, and the service was impeccable. This is a place that I hope starts to make T-shirts as I will definitely be excited to support all that they're doing. If you're in the area, you should definitely check this place out!

Lunch is also served here with the standard pizza sticks, chicken tenders, fried chicken, etc. they also do sandwiches as well and one that went by looked very good. Overall the deli is a good choice for a stop if wanting something quick, or sit down.
