And with more than 20 years of highly accomplished expe- rience in the ultra-competitive field of culinary arts, he must also know some- thing about keeping it calm and cool. Thankfully, one zone that’s heat- and pressure-free is where the selection of ingredients is concerned: Indig- enous, regionally available foods with cultural integrity are always the stan- dard … the Strong-point, if you will. Traditional Native cooking techniques are incorporated into many of chef Strong’s culinary practices and Native foods, such as wild-caught salmon and bison, are sourced from Native com- munities whenever possible – also a heat-free decision. Having been raised by his grand- parents, Strong watched his grand- mother as she prepared everything she made from scratch; carefully rolling Jack Strong out dough and cutting it into strips to make noodles for a waiting stew. Today, that influence is apparent in Strong’s insistence on freshness and in his most-meticulous attention to detail, an uncompromising standard that was also honed through extensive travel and study overseas, a sous-chef position at The Phoenician’s on the Green in Scottsdale, Ariz., and his co-authorship of The New Native American Cuisine: Five Star Recipes from the Chefs of Arizona’s Kai Restaurant. Must-Taste: Native Alder Plank Salmon & Shrimp with Three Sisters’ Ragout Note: Strong is the first Siletz Tribal member to hold the title of executive chef at Chinook Winds.
