Karen Ouren is a stylist at Lather Salon on 4th Street. Her husband Ron Ouren, an icon in the banking industry, is the VP/SR Relationship Service Officer with Panhandle State Bank. They are both enjoying their six grandchildren after raising their three children here in Coeur d’Alene.
Between her work, her passion for cancer programs (especially Pancreatic because she lost a sister), community activities, love of cooking, and the time she finds to exercise, every now and then she sneaks a breakfast out.
Karen loves to cook, so she is very fussy and critical about where she eats and likes to go to places where the food is really good. “Breakfast is one of my favorite meals”, and her favorite place for breakfast is Michael D’s. “The food is always consistent and there is plenty of it! The service is good, the food is always excellent, and it’s a fun place to see lots of local faces.” Because both she and Ron are health conscious, the menu items they choose are healthy. Karen chooses the Veggie Omelet. “It’s “excellent, very healthy, and they’ll serve fruit instead of hash-browns.” And it’s always oatmeal for Ron.
Michael D’s is owned by Michael DePasquale who was born in Warren, Rhode Island in 1960, the fourth son of Margherita & Phillip DePasquale. Michael showed his calling, asking Santa for a Suzie Homemaker Oven at an age his peers were playing with G.I. Joe and dirt bikes. While still wet behind the ears Michael showed his interest in chickens, adopting a magnificent Rhode Island Red which he taught to chase Frisbees and cackle on cue. Michael and Big Red left home to seek their fame and fortune and ended up in Coeur d’Alene where he opened Michael D’s on November 8th, 1998.
Michael D’s serves breakfast all day and features omelet’s with names like Seclusion, Adventurous, Bashful, Yawner, and Shameless, too name a few, along with the usual breakfast fare. Lunch features several sandwich options and a variety of salads to choose from. One of the salads is appropriately named “The Rhode Island Red”.
About Michael D’s Eatery
After years of work the dream of Michael D’s Eatery was hatched (no pun intended!) This year they will celebrate their 11 year anniversary. They are open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week from 6am to 2pm.
