Peter Adams is a native son of Missouri, where his father and grandmother taught him the importance of farm-to-table food by taking him to local farmers' markets and farms. Allowing him to look over their elbows and learn to cook for the family. His formative training came in Cleveland and France before returning to Spokane in 2017. Since then, he has Helmed Kitchens at Santé, Ruins and Française. Peter has one main ethos: start with something great to make something great.

Addie brings over 20 years of industry experience, working in bars and fine dining across five Spokane restaurants. Her leadership skills saw her rise quickly from server to assistant and bar manager. She's helped shape the bar programs at Française, curated Washington-focused wine lists, managed private events, and has an uncanny ability to find the perfect bottle for every table.

Raised in the Southwest of England, Jay started his hospitality career in English pubs and worked his way through four countries, gaining experience in everything from fast-paced, high-volume bars to fine-dining restaurants. After landing in Spokane, he’s shared his love for the industry and showcased his creativity at places like Durkins and Ruins. He brings an energy full of passion and laughter to every shift.
