Jeffrey Fijolek
Jeff was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, but it was regular family trips to Chicago, New York, Martha’s Vineyard and Tuscany that introduced him to his passions of food and design.
After attending St. Mark’s School of Texas, Jeff immersed himself in the Phoenix food scene while studying sustainability at Arizona State University. He then moved to New York City where he learned about GIS mapmaking, wine and spirits from the University of Southern California, a sommelier for Daniel Boulud and the head bartender of the NoMad Hotel and Joel Robuchon, respectively.
Jeff returned to Dallas and assisted friends and family in their real estate, restaurant and art businesses while pursuing a Masters at Southern Methodist University before moving to Spokane in 2018. Jeff is excited to learn and share exciting stories from his rapidly growing new hometown and Eastern Washington with Edible Inland Northwest.
