Who we are
History: All in the Family
Named after a favorite double diamond run at Mission Ridge Ski and Board Resort, Lemolo has been part of the Downtown Wenatchee Scene since 1992. It has been part of the Postelwait Family since 2005.
Brothers Zeb and Avery Postelwait grew up in the service industry, their early memories of the family business include breaking up mozzarella at Saucy’s Pizza and running amok at Grace’s Supper Club in the 80’s. From early orcharding pioneer stock, brothers and families can appreciate a fresh bounty when they find one. Seasonal produce is grown in family plots and the freshness shows. Hands on in the kitchen, with a delight in craftsmanship we produce over 1 ton of bacon, 10,000 pizzas, 6,000 loaves of bread, and 1,200 bottles of hot sauce each year! Our deli case is stocked with salads, desserts, and specialty breads and show off our changing selection of beer and wine. Our custom 10 tap unit with rotating northwest selections will have a pour to please everyone.
Definition:
Lemolo is a Chinook Jargon word, which means “wild” and “untamed”, or “renegade”. Chinook Jargon is a historic trade language used in the Pacific Northwest. It linked Native American tribes of the Columbia River system to each other and to the colonizing cultures such as French, English and Spanish who first explored these waters for trade and commerce.
Did we say that the restaurant was named after a favorite ski run at Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort?
Philosophy:
Eat well, be happy!”
We like good food, we like cooking good food for good people. We want to spread the joy and enjoyment of the freshest ingredients.
Black Label:
The Black Label line of deli products are short run bounties from the garden and change seasonally. Keep an eye out for natural fermented sauces, kraut, specialty herb and pepper blends and bacon soap.
Waste:
Waste not, want not. In an effort to conserve finite resources we have tried to eliminate Styrofoam and plastics from our kitchen in ways that we can. We choose biodegradable take out containers and recycle and compost as much of our industry waste as possible. We have used compost to improve our gardening soils and minimize the impact of our growing in a small amount of space. We currently partner with Winton MFG. Compost Works to keep our food waste in the loop.
