For Dan and Mollie Koommoo, husband and wife owners of Crafted \u2013 An\u00a0 Eatery & Bar, family and community were at the heart of what they wanted to create when they moved to Yakima to open their restaurant. Equally important is being as close to the source of the foods they craft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our\ninspiration is simple. It’s the people. When asked by our farmers and\nproducer’s what we would like to see from them our answer is always\n“whatever you’re excited about we will be excited about.” Noone knows\nthis valley the way the farmers do, so it would be foolish for us to not take\ntheir lead when it comes to the superior quality of produce that the entire\nworld has come to recognize. This is why we do what we do, it’s to show respect\nand homage to those who have been doing it for generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without\nour community there would be no Crafted. We came here with a specific goal of\nbeing a true community focused restaurant and focusing on using as many locally\nproduced goods and services. Our guests are more than just hungry mouths we\nwant to make smile, they are family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\nare just one of many locally focused business owners looking to help push our\namazing valley to new heights. The beverage industry in Yakima has been such a\ndraw for decades. Now with the help of others like us, we hope to make an\nimpact in how the rest of the region views the valley’s emerging restaurant\nscene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
