Eat All About It: Pasco restaurant dishes up American classics

Downtown Pasco’s newest, and possibly most visible, restaurant made its debut near Lourdes Medical Center earlier this month.

The Flavorful Dish, led by owners/chefs Michelle and Jose Preciado, opened May 2 at 505 N. Fourth Ave.

It’s the ground floor of the Sacagawea Apartments on a prominent corner near the hospital, Franklin County Courthouse and Pasco City Hall.

The Flavorful Dish serves American fare and includes a coffee bar made from wine barrels. It offers made-to-order sandwiches with homemade ailoi, dressings, salads, pastries and cinnamon rolls.

Hours are 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, but closed on Mondays.

The Pasco Chamber of Commerce will formally welcome the newcomers with a ribbon cutting at 4:30 p.m. June 1.
