Chef Josh Dorrell and his wife Maddie recently opened their new restaurant, Drift Lakeside Kitchen and Bar, in Hope. Josh trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Scottsdale, Arizona, and has spent the past 20 years in the restaurant industry. This will be the sixth restaurant Josh has had a hand in an opening, having owned various types of restaurants in the past including a steakhouse and pizza restaurant and has even worked both phases of the PGA Golf Tour. After visiting the area back in 2019, Josh and Maddie were attracted to the Idaho Panhandle due to their love of the outdoors. It took the family the next year-and-a-half to find a home. They then spent the winter creating the menu and preparing to open the restaurant. The Dorrell’s said they want to bring a new dining experience to the area, but also support the community. They feel very strongly about, hiring teens local to Clark Fork and Hope but also working closely with chefs, farmers and many other types of professionals all from the local community. The menu features new American-style food that incorporates many ethnic influences, from Mexican and Korean. In the warmer months you can enjoy dining on the decks, enjoy lawn games, and live music. In the winter you can enjoy dining in the warm and inviting dining room with their spectacular view. For more information: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082882765057
