See full story at Meridian Press. After a brief scare, downtown Meridian’s beloved Basque restaurant will remain open for business. Epi's Basque Restaurant, known for its authentic Basque food and warm atmosphere, is staying within the family. Erik McFarland, longtime cook at the restaurant, will take over ownership later this month from Chris Ansotegui, who co-founded the restaurant over 20 years ago. Earlier this summer, Ansotegui announced she was retiring in late July to the dismay of the restaurant’s regulars who feared her retirement meant the end of Epi’s. There is no need to worry, McFarland said, the restaurant is going to stay exactly the same. After a short break starting July 30, the restaurant will reopen Aug. 6 with the same hours and the majority of its same 18 staff members. The restaurant will keep its three well-known cooks and McFarland, who are responsible for the Epi’s authentic Basque dishes, Ansotegui said. “It’s not just a restaurant,” McFarland said. “We’ve got something so unique there and there are so many memories there for customers and employees … It’s something we want to continue.” McFarland has worked as a cook at Epi’s for 16 years while holding other full-time positions. The extra hours and long nights were worth it, he said, because of the growth you experience as an employee and the feeling the restaurant gives you. “It’s like going somewhere familiar to your heart and you just don’t want to mess with that,” he said. McFarland is the great grandson of Epifania “Epi” Lamiquis-Inchausti, the namesake of the Meridian restaurant. Lamiquis-Inchausti got on a boat with her young daughter and left the Basque region on the coast of Spain for the United States to reunite with her husband in 1929. The only word she knew in English was “coffee.” Epi’s courage and hospitality left deep impressions on her growing family as they settled in Idaho — particularly two granddaughters, Ansotegui and her sister, Gina Urquidi, who opened Epi’s Basque Restaurant with her namesake in 1999, the Meridian Press previously reported. #episbasquerestaurant #tradition #family #food #basque
