COEUR d'ALENE — From broken tables and burned mac and cheese to attention from local media, a spot on a PBS show, a surprise proposal and hundreds — if not thousands — of friends made, Monday Night Dinner has blossomed into more than Adam Schluter could have imagined.
“If I had to describe anything, I am honestly incredibly humble and grateful," Schluter said Monday evening. "I don’t know any other emotions that could explain what I’m feeling right now. Again, starting from nothing, having nothing, no money — this is only a product of everybody that’s a part of these dinners, the community. We’ve never made a penny. It’s blood, sweat and tears.”
