NO. 1 9 SUMMER/FALL

Q: MOST PEOPLE DID MORE HOME COOKING THAN NORMAL OVER THE PAST YEAR. WHAT DID YOU PERFECT IN YOUR OWN KITCHEN? EDITOR editor@dishingjh.com Allison Arthur

I took on a few projects that will be one and dones. One in particular was a pan-fried Indian paratha, which had to be formed and rolled twice and cooked in a skillet one at a time.

MARKET DIRECTOR Brooke Danahy ART DIRECTOR Kristen Hartnett CONTRIBUTORS Lanier Brooks Amber Day Julie Kling Aaron Kraft Jay Nel-McIntosh

I benefited from my fiancé joining the sourdough-making masses, which of course he fully immersed himself in. He could never skip a fold or step. We have gone on more than one drive in which a timer was set for every 30 minutes and we needed to pull over for a coil fold because he wanted fresh bread for dinner but couldn’t commit to staying home or up late to follow all the steps. That’s dedication, and I never complain since I get to reap the benefits of delicious fresh bread.

Ashley Merritt Carrie Patterson Nina Resor Sam Simma

This past year, I’ve gotten more familiar with my new favorite kitchen gadget: the Instant Pot. And while it’s helped me perfect pork tenderloin, steamed vegetables, mac and cheese, and cheesecake, I still need practice with making venison roasts and homemade yogurt!

Melissa Thomasma

I seized the opportunity to perfect my homemade pizza crust. It is everything you want in an awesome ‘za… crispy, light, and flavorful. My family asks for it at least once a week now!

What We Crave

IT IS EASY TO START A LIST regarding all there is to love about summer, beginning with the hikes up Snow King Mountain and ending with a jump into Jackson Lake — with a lot of deck dining in between. But, really, who doesn’t crave the carefree feeling of the sun on your shoulders and a margarita in your glass?

My favorite version is made by combining 1 cup Casamigos Blanco, 1/2 cup Cointreau and the juice of five fresh limes.

This summer, we are particularly eager for the farmers markets (Saturday mornings on the Town Square and Wednesday afternoons at the Center for the Arts lawn) and filling up with greens from Vertical Harvest the rest of the week. We are big fans of sandwiches in the summer. They are easy to pack. It is hard to pass up a fried chicken version from Bodega or Rations, but a hot sub from New York City Sub Shop is cravable, too. And no one around here ever misses the chance to pick up a sandwich from Creekside. As previously referenced, summer is also prime-time for dining on decks. You can’t beat the view from the rooftop at Dornan’s, and I love to take out-of-town guests to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s Piste or to lunch at Palate. The lawn outside Healthy Being is an ideal spot for a salad and sunning. At night, there are so many places to dine alfresco. A few we frequently recommend include Bin22, Glorietta Trattoria and The Kitchen.

Ryan Stolp

erhaps best known as the artist behind the local comic Lift Lines, Ryan Stolp is also a principal at the marketing agency Orijin Media. The 32-yearold tries “to work art into everything I do.” We love The Scene, which Stolp illustrates in every issue, and we wanted to hear more about the five-plus-year resident’s take on the dining scene in Jackson Hole. Over the past year, how did you handle dining in, dining out and/or takeout? I am not a great cook but I got much better. I cooked a lot of Instant Pot Chinese food. I always went to Sweet Cheeks Meats for the Asian chicken sandwich. I went to The Bird, Teton Thai Plate and Gather. Anything else you enjoyed cooking? Made a lot of pot pies. They were easy and fun. Our 5 Ways this issue is on eggs Benedict. Do you have a favorite in town? That is the kind of dish I go out for — something that is harder to cook at home. Café Genevieve is the last place I had them, and they were really good. If you got to pick our Jackson Classic for our next issue, what would you suggest? The Bird. I used to live near there, and it brings in a lot of characters. Old-timers, river rafters. I even saw someone pee themselves on bottomless mimosa day. I love that the owners also took over Eleanor’s and kept it casual. I hope that they can bring back the peanuts.

It sounds like you have learned to cook with minimal kitchen equipment, and I heard you have some camping hacks, too. Tell us one of your tricks? I used to do low-frills bread baking when I camped. I would hike with the live yeast in a Ziploc bag and put the dough inside my warm puffy jacket. You said you loved a good banh mi sandwich, so I wanted to share this quick and easy recipe I make at home:

DISHING’S BANH MI 1 cup of equal parts carrot, cucumber and red onion, as thinly sliced as possible 1 cup rice wine vinegar 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 baguette 2 grilled chicken breasts, thinly sliced 1/2 cup cilantro leaves 1 jalapeño, diced > Prep the vegetables and place in a bowl. Heat a small sauce pan over medium heat with the rice vinegar and sugar, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add it to the vegetables and cover the mixture until it has wilted a bit and the liquid is room temperature. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, Sriracha and soy sauce in a bowl. Cut the baguette in half. Cover each side with the sauce. Drain the vegetables and place on the bottom of the bread. Top with chicken, cilantro and jalapeño to taste.

Could you share the recipe behind Snake River Grill’s peppermint stick ice cream? I had it this winter, and it reminded me of my mom — she only eats peppermint ice cream. I would love to re-create it for her since she is unable to travel.

Snake River Grill’s Peppermint Stick-Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

PHOTOS BY ALLISON ARTHUR

32 ounces whole milk 14 ounces heavy cream 3/4 cup sugar 9 large egg yolks 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract 3/4 cup peppermint sticks, crushed 3/4 cup chocolate chips > In a medium pot over medium heat, combine milk, heavy cream and half of the sugar. While the mixture is heating, whisk the remaining sugar into the egg yolks until the sugar is dissolved. Once the milk mixture reaches 125 F, remove from heat, then slowly stream about 1/3 of the milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking the entire time. Then, slowly stream that egg mixture back into the pot with the rest of the milk, whisking the entire time. Place back on stove and heat to 170 F. Remove from heat and strain. Cool to room temperature in an ice bath. Once cooled, stir in peppermint extract, then cover and chill for a minimum of 4 hours. Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s instructions. When churning is complete, mix in crushed peppermints and chocolate chips. It can either be enjoyed as soft serve at this point or put in containers and frozen for hard ice cream.

A LESSON IN BY ALLISON ARTHUR PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MERRITT

Sous-vide with Local’s Will Bradof IT MAY SEEM COMPLICATED, BUT IT CAN ACTUALLY MAKE COOKING WAY MORE CONSISTENT AND CONVENIENT.

WHY THERE ARE MANY ADVANTAGES TO USING SOUS-VIDE. HERE ARE A FE W: CONSISTENCY

WHILE SOUS-VIDE MIGHT HAVE JUST SOUNDED LIKE FRENCH TO MOST 10 YEARS AGO, THE TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN POPULAR WITH CHEFS AND IS BECOMING MORE PREVALENT AMONG AT-HOME COOKS AS WELL. WILL BRADOF, THE CO-OWNER AND CHEF OF BOTH LOCAL AND TRIO, REGULARLY USES SOUS-VIDE IN HIS EVERYDAY COOKING AT THE RESTAURANTS. HE SHARES HIS ADVICE ON HOW AND WHY YOU SHOULD TRY IT AT HOME.

WHAT

French for “under vacuum,” sous-vide is a popular restaurant method of cooking that uses a consistent water bath to slowly, and at a very low temperature, cook food to an exact temperature.

30 D I S H I N G J H . C O M

Using sous-vide will allow you to cook an even larger amount of meat, to the same internal temperature throughout.

and wiggle room. It is almost impossible to overcook. If the meat stays in a little longer than it is supposed to, the only thing that will change is the texture (more of the muscle may break down).

TASTE Infusing the meat while you cook it will create more depth in the flavor.

COMPLE TE CONTROL

TIMING

It is much harder to overcook and undercook meats. If you follow the guidelines for timing and temperature on the meat you are using, there is a bit of flexibility

Prepping and precooking your meats sous-vide will allow you to perfectly time your meals without a lot of last-minute prep work.

HOW THE BASIC STEPS FOR SOUSVIDE ARE VERY SIMPLE. 1. Prep the water bath at the desired temperature.

2. Take all the meat and ingredients you need to flavor the meal, and place them in a Ziploc bag.

3. Remove as much of the air from the

WHAT YOU NEED > Plastic bags (Cryovac or Ziploc both work). > Sous-vide machine > Suggested resources: Under Pressure: Cooking Sous-vide, David Chang’s and Peter Meehan’s Momofuko (There is a chapter on “ghetto sous-vide.”) > Something that is waterproof, heavy and has the surface area to weigh down the sousvide packages. Bradof uses heavy plates.

package as possible.

4. Put the package in the water bath,

and weigh it down with something that is heavy and can sit in water for hours.

5. Cook for the instructed amount of time.

6. Finish your dish when you are ready by quickly searing, grilling or broiling the meats to char the outside, add texture (sous-vide results tend to be very tender) and/or bring the meat up to the finished internal temperature.

WHAT TO COOK In general, sous-vide is good for dry proteins that don’t have a lot of fats and great for slow braise, like short ribs, because you can infuse fat and flavor into the meat and also break down less tender pieces of meat. > Sausages, which can be easily seared to finish > Bacon-wrapped filets > Airline chicken breasts with garlic and citrus

Bradof says to check an online chart or, better yet, Thomas Keller’s book, Under Pressure: Cooking Sous-vide, for exact time and temperature for the specific item you are cooking.

> Vegetables infused with herbs > Short ribs that can be shredded for tacos

RECIPE

LOCAL’S SOUS-VIDE LOBSTER TAILS • • • • • • • •

4 lobster tails, shell removed 1 1/2 sticks butter 1 orange, sliced 1 lemon, sliced 5 sprigs or more thyme 1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Reserve the shells for your next seafood stock.

Prepare your sous-vide to 132 F. Put all ingredients into a large Ziploc bag, and try to get all the air out by pressing down all sides and compressing before you seal. If the lobster is room temperature, it will take 2 hours for the meat to reach 132 F, which is just below mid-rare, while weighted down in the water bath.

Using warm water to start will shorten the cooking time.

Bradof uses heavy enamel plates to ensure the meat is fully submerged.

Remove the meat and reserve the remnants of the bag. The butter from it can be used to finish cooking the lobster meat. When it comes out, immerse the bags in an ice bath if you aren’t going to finish the dish right away. When ready to finish, place the lobster meat on a sheet pan in an oven at 400 F for about 10 minutes. Local serves this lobster as an option on top of a salad.

32 D I S H I N G J H . C O M

Save any unused butter to use with any seafood dish in the future. It can also be frozen.

Jackson Classic: Pinky G’s Over 10 years in business, the downtown pizzeria has become a family — and Guy Fieri — favorite. by Melissa Thomasma photos by Jay Nel-Mcintosh

Pinky G’s, The pizzeria — a celebrated eatery in the heart of downtown Jackson — has been offering a delectable lineup of hand-tossed signature pies since opening in the early summer of 2011. “Over the last 10 years, it’s wild to think how fast time has gone by,” laughs Fay. “Looking back, it has absolutely exceeded all of my wildest dreams and expectations. We’ve gone from a ski-bum-lifestyle pizzeria to much more of a family-friendly atmosphere with great food.” Tucked beneath the iconic Pink Garter Theatre, less than a block from the Town Square, Pinky G’s began in a cozy little hole-in-the-wall. With distinctly relaxed, urban-eclectic decor, the restaurant initially aimed to feed a late-night crowd. “It started off being a staple as one of the places that’s open late,” Fay reflects. At the time, there weren’t many places to pop in and grab a slice and a beer after typical restaurant hours. While it’s still open until 10 p.m. and remains an ideal spot to enjoy an after-party snack, the restaurant’s

TOM FAY

is astonished that his restaurant,

has been operating for a decade now.

DISHINGJH.COM

FAN FAVORITES:

The Abe Froman and The Funky Chicken are two of the best-selling pizzas.

most loyal customers are now families seeking a casual dinner spot with relaxed food. “As I slowly tweaked my dough recipe and worked to make it into the best pizza possible, we saw a shift toward a more family-friendly dinner crowd,” recalls Fay. At the same time, Pinky G’s also gained popularity among locals as a quick, reasonably priced lunch spot. The downtown location makes it an easy place

36 D I S H I N G J H . C O M

to walk to during the day, and the single slices and fresh salads are quick and quality offerings. Pinky G’s popularity reached a new peak in 2014 when it was featured on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives with host Guy Fieri. “When I first got the message that someone had called from the show, it was left as a note on receipt paper,” Fay says. “I really thought it was a prank. Someone was making a joke. But when I called the number back, it was a Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives producer! Being featured on the show really has been a wild ride.” Just a month before the pizzeria was featured on Fieri’s show, Fay and his team had expanded the restaurant to occupy the adjacent real estate. Offering more tables as well as a small stage to feature live music meant Pinky G’s could not only comfortably accommodate more guests but also install a larger pizza oven. The expansion was not a

moment too soon. “Guy warned me, ‘Once the show airs, get ready to get super busy.’ And so, we were ready for it, but nothing happened. Then, about two weeks later, we got totally slammed!” Fay says. “It’s like everyone who was planning their vacation to Jackson watched the episode, and then they all came at once.” Fay laughs that though he doesn’t actively keep track of when the episode is rerun on the Food Network, he can always tell when it happens because it’s followed by an uptick in customers. Since the initial episode of Diners, DriveIns & Dives, Pinky G’s has been featured multiple times. A recap-style version of the show called Triple D Nation again showcased the Pinky G’s pizza lineup. The most recent iteration, Triple D Takeout, a pandemicinspired celebration of the nation’s best takeout food, also highlighted the local eatery. “Collaborating with the show has been a really fun journey,” Fay says.

PINKY G’S SPECIALTY STROMBOLI For the crust: Make 11 ounces of your favorite pizza dough, or pick up a premade ball of dough from Pinky G’s. Mix flour and cornmeal to coat and handle the dough ball. For the filling: 2/3 cup pepperoni 2/3 cup 5-cheese blend (whole milk and skim milk mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano,

provolone), shredded 1 cup spicy Italian sausage, precooked and hand-crumbled 1/2 cup green peppers, chopped 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped 1/2 cup red onions, chopped > Heat oven to 575 F. Coat dough ball in flour/ cornmeal mixture and hand-toss to 12 inches. Add 2-3 rows of pepperoni lengthwise just above halfway to the edge of the dough. Evenly spread shredded cheese over the pepperoni. Add spicy Italian sausage, green

peppers, mushrooms and red onions evenly over top of cheese. Pull the top quarter of empty dough over the top of all ingredients listed above and press down to connect the dough. Grab the bottom half of the empty dough and pull over the same quarter as listed above and roll the remaining dough under to form an elongated pizza pocket. Slice a few openings in the top. Bake at 575 F for 13 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is fully melted in middle. Optional: Brush with garlic oil after removing from the oven. Serve with marinara for dipping.

FAMILY FUN:

Owner Tom Fay enjoys a date with his twins and wife, Kristin.

While Pinky G’s enjoys an enthusiastic stream of out-of-town diners, including the occasional celebrity looking to enjoy a slice, Fay’s priority remains the locals. “We have supremely loyal regulars,” he says. “There are people who stop in almost every day, some who reliably come every week. And even more than that, we’ve got so many locals who have a monthly Pinky G’s pizza night. Being involved in the Jackson Hole community is my top priority. Locals always come first.”

38 D I S H I N G J H . C O M

Beyond feeding locals, Fay treasures the relationship that he’s built with area schools. “There’s a field trip program where elementaryage kids spend time doing hands-on learning in the community. And there are always a good handful of kids who want to come learn how to make pizza. We teach them how to toss the dough — everything. It’s really a wonderful time. The kids just love it!” Fay says that well over 90 percent of the pizzas that populate the Pinky G’s menu have been staples since the beginning. A couple of pies have been added in the intervening years — including Guy’s Pie, which is topped with Buffalo chicken, and the Meatball Parm Pizza — but the most celebrated favorites have been around since Day 1. “The Abe Froman and the Funky Chicken have really been popular favorites since the early days,” Fay says. Featuring shredded mozzarella, spicy sausage, buffalo mozzarella and fresh chopped basil (and optional-butabsolutely-worth-it balsamic glaze), the Abe Froman is satisfyingly meaty without being overwhelming. The Funky Chicken, topped with ovenroasted chicken, artichoke hearts, red onions, ricotta cheese and housemade fresh basil pesto, is a delightful departure from tomato-based pies. Another sleeper hit of Pinky G’s? The wings. “There’s a lot of stiff competition for the best wings in Jackson,” acknowledges Fay. “But I think we are absolutely a contender.” With sauces that range from classic to hot teriyaki, from barbecue to honey mustard and hot honey, there’s no shortage of tantalizing options for every wing taste. Whether you are in the mood for a quick lunchtime slice and salad, are craving your favorite pie, or have your eye on a stromboli (celebrated on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives), look no further than Jackson’s chill, tavern-style pizzeria — the inimitable Pinky G’s.

The twist: Chorizo is nestled on top of a brioche bun topped with avocado, a fried egg and hollandaise. Why we love it: The buns are locally made by 460 Bread, and the chorizo gives the dish a kick. Try it with a blood orange margarita. Juice also goes perfectly with this breakfast.

The twist: The traditional English muffin and poached eggs are topped with house-smoked trout and smothered in hollandaise. Why we love it: The flavor of the fish makes this breakfast unique and is just the right mix of smoky and creamy in every bite. The downtown spot also has a traditional eggs Benedict, with Canadian bacon, and the Blackstone, with tomatoes, green onions and bacon.

In the Kitchen with The White Buffalo Club’s Brian Marino The homegrown talent prides himself on a perfectly cooked piece of meat. by Julie Kling photos by Jay Nel-McIntosh

SELF-TAUGHT

Chef Brian Marino grew up in the back of the house at some of the most historic restaurants in Jackson Hole. He put in his time peeling garlic and seasoning beef — and that’s still where he likes to be. His mother owned the Cadillac Grille (where Local now resides), home of the infamous Billy’s Burgers, and his father ran Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Co. for 18 years before they retired. When his family sold the Cadillac, his parents brought Brian and the Billy Burger to Lift, a restaurant they then started at the base of Snow King Mountain Resort. After Lift closed in 2018, Marino took over at The White Buffalo Club for Joel Hammond, another local chef, who went on to work for Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. “I just love to cook,” Marino says. “I don’t really care about fame and being on TV.” He prefers a simple life and is grateful that he gets to raise his kids in Jackson, doing what he loves to do. Now he brings his 10-year-old daughter to the kitchen to help.

50 D I S H I N G J H . C O M

WHAT WAS IT LIKE GROWING UP IN THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS IN JACKSON HOLE?

It was awesome. Eating all the great food that the Cadillac Grille and Billy Burgers had to offer was great. Sometimes it was tough being a little kid sitting in a restaurant until 11 at night. But it was good training, and all that time in the kitchen gave me a career path. My wife, Hillary, is not a chef, so she is going to be raising the kids (they are expecting their second child this summer) at home at night. HOW HAS THE CULINARY SCENE CHANGED SINCE YOU WERE PREPPING FOOD FOR YOUR PARENTS AT THE CADILLAC GRILLE?

It’s become a lot more prominent in Jackson. There are a lot more restaurants, and a lot of them follow modern trends. Products can be difficult to get here in the mountains. But it’s getting better, and the more business that comes through the valley, the more available things will be. I source craft meats from all over and wagyu beef from Japan. WHO WAS BILLY?

I don’t know. My mom opened Billy’s Burgers in 1982. I have no idea. Billy’s giant (8-ounce) burgers became a staple in Jackson. I’m now consulting with someone (at a soon-to-be-disclosed location) to bring back the Billy Burger with a big neon sign like we used to have. BILLY’S WAS KNOWN FOR ITS BURGERS MADE FROM LOCAL MEAT, BUT ALSO FOR ITS SALTY COUNTER SERVICE. ARE YOU A SALTY CHEF?

No, I’ve worked with so many chefs who drink, curse and holler. All the years I’ve been working at The White Buffalo Club, I don’t think I’ve yelled at anyone. That’s a good way to lose good employees, and we all know how difficult staffing can be in

Jackson. I feel like everyone has something to learn from each other, and I am still learning and growing. WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO COOK A STEAK?

My favorite way to cook a steak is to char it on an extremely hot grill and finish it simply with butter, salt and pepper, and medium rare. Grilling is the way for me. I am a hunter so I cook antelope, elk and venison. When I go out to dinner, the thing that makes my night is a perfectly cooked piece of meat. I see it as an art form. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE JUNK FOOD OR WHAT WOULD YOU BE EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT YOU EAT?

I eat so much junk food, it’s hard to say. Trail mix. I’m not really a chips person. I love Top Ramen, and that is most definitely junk food. Sometimes I throw an egg or scallions in there. An egg-topped ramen is so good. I’m not going to braise a whole pork belly to put in there. I don’t cook extravagant meals for myself. Sometimes I’ll have a sandwich or even a bowl of cereal. Unless we are entertaining, then I love to cook.

WHITE BUFFALO CLUB’S FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE TORTE 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped 6 large eggs 1/2 cup sugar Pinch of Kosher salt Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting > Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch spring form pan. Combine the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and stir until melted and combined. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and let it cool slightly. Combine the eggs, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Beat with mixer on medium-high until pale and thick (5-8 minutes). Gently fold half of the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined, then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is no longer shiny and barely jiggles. A toothpick in the center should come out with just a few crumbs. Transfer the cake to a rack and let it cool completely in the pan. Remove the spring form ring and transfer to a platter. Dust with cocoa powder and serve.

WHERE DO YOU LIKE TO GO WHEN YOU ARE NOT IN THE KITCHEN?

In the winter, I go skiing when I can. In the summer, I love fishing. And I love looking for mushrooms in the spring. We do a lot of camping. My happy place is in the woods, away from people and in the mountains. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN TOOL?

I have a Wilson grill. Some guy in Wilson, Wyoming, invented a “grill” that’s a big hunk of cast iron with a big metal stake so you can rotate a plate over the fire. We take it camping and cook burgers, steaks, eggs and bacon. You can get it at Stone Drug. DISHINGJH.COM

Outside the Kitchen An Artful Evening A group of local women gathers at Dusk for an experience with flowers, food and fun. by Allison Arthur Photos by Carrie Patterson

What better backdrop to make art, than artwork? Amy Ringholz’s downtown studio, the space the painter calls Dusk after gallery hours, can be transformed into a private event space, and it’s the perfect venue to host an artful evening. First things first: cocktails, of course. To set the evening off right, Amrita Handcrafted Beverage & Bars used Wyoming Whiskey to create an array of beautiful cocktails. Using her homemade tonics to perfection, Jessa Smout offered four whiskey-based drinks that were as beautiful as they were delicious. A variety of local hard cider, beer and seltzer completed the libation options. Before sitting down to enjoy meze from Figs, the ladies first learned how to craft the centerpieces for the table. Emily Lacoste, owner of Lily and Co., brought in flowers to complement the color of the artwork and led the group in designing perfect floral arrangements. After enjoying the Lebanese feast, nothing less than a cupcake and candy station was in order. Using toppings and party favors from Mursell’s Sweet Shop, everyone savored a little treat.

Lacoste says always go longer than shorter when you trim the stems. You can always cut more.

Want to re-create these gorgeous arrangements? Lacoste shared tips for making your arrangements turn out as beautifully as these did: > Start by using your vase to measure the flowers and greenery based on the length you wish to make. > Add fresh water to the vase and trim the bottoms of your greenery. Create a base for adding the flowers by zigzagging the stems to create a space to hold the flowers. > Use flowers in the same color family but of different shapes and sizes to fill in the vases. If the flowers are unopen and you are using them the same night, spinning them in your hand can open them up slightly.

Use odd numbers of each flower as a general rule of thumb.

CAMPFIRE

OOKIN BY SAMANTHA SIMMA

66 D I S H I N G J H . C O M

From campgrounds in Grand Teton National Park to campsites along the bank of the Snake River in BridgerTeton National Forest, there’s no shortage of places to pitch a tent and spend a night beneath the stars in Jackson Hole. But to achieve the grandest of camping experiences, it’s essential that you’re able to pair that outdoor ambience with a delicious and satisfying campfire meal. A raging flame can be an intimidating heat source, but some area chefs were generous enough to pass along tips and tools of the trade that they take with them on their own camping adventures.

KEEP IT SIMPLE In this atmosphere, the best way to set yourself up for success (and less stress) is to keep the menu simple. Plan your meals ahead to avoid overpacking, and choose pantry staples that are versatile in use and in flavor. Savanna Garnick, of Cultivate Cafe, finds herself turning to nutrient-dense and hearty fruits and vegetables like potatoes, beans, lentils, red peppers, green beans and apples. If she really wants to pack light, she’ll opt for dehydrated versions of these items. Strive for ingredients that, like these, can be combined in different ways to create a variety of dishes. For example, Garnick will add sliced

apples to the top of a breakfast porridge or dinner skillet, telling us, “It’s something that gives you a little bit more glucose and helps you with some energy throughout the day.” With the addition of a few simple spices, the dishes you make while camping will really start to shine. Again, no need to pack the entire spice cabinet. Garnick, in addition to classic salt and pepper, will bring along garlic powder, onion powder and maybe a curry powder to switch things up. “I like to mix my own spices,” she says, “so sometimes I’ll do smoked paprika with a little chile powder, just something that can work in a lot of different ways to shift the flavor of similar dishes.”

DISHINGJH.COM

SAVANNAH GARNICK’S SWEET POTATO CHICKPEA STEW Cooking method: Dutch oven 4 cups water 1 yellow onion 2 cloves organic garlic or 2 tablespoons garlic powder 2 large yams or sweet potatoes 12-ounce can diced tomatoes 2 tablespoons almond butter 2 teaspoons Mexican chile powder 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt 15-ounce can chickpeas 2 cups lacinato kale, chopped

Add the sweet potato, the remaining water, tomatoes and their juices, almond butter, chile powder and salt. Stir well to ensure the almond butter is thoroughly mixed in and there are no clumps remaining. Simmer, covered, for about 1520 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Once the sweet potatoes are tender, add the chickpeas and the kale to the Dutch oven. Stir to combine and heat until the chickpeas have warmed through and the kale has wilted.

Heat a few tablespoons of water in the bottom of a Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté about five minutes, until translucent and just starting to brown in spots. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

This recipe is oil free, organic (if you choose all organic ingredients) and packed with amazing energyboosting foods. Sweet potatoes are an incredibly nutritious food that are packed with antioxidants like beta carotene, vitamins C,

Once you’ve made a meal plan, identify what you can prep ahead of time and portion what you need for the duration of your outing. For example, rather than taking the whole bottle of olive oil, bring along just a small vial for a few days. Any dehydrated items will be practically ready to go, but save yourself some time at the campsite by slicing and dicing fresh produce at home. If you plan on having scrambled eggs for breakfast, crack and scramble them at home to avoid a potential mess in transit. Clark Myers, of Provisions, always packs some garlic and fresh savory herbs on his adventures, like rosemary and thyme. In this instance,

E and D, and minerals such as manganese and iron. They are also high in potassium, which helps to lower blood pressure by removing excess sodium and regulating fluid balance in the body. Sweet potatoes are an excellent antistress food and are known to help relax muscles, steady nerves and balance cognitive function. Great to eat to replenish your body after long, strenuous mountain adventures. This is great for car camping or for short backpacking trips. For longer trips, I use dehydrated veggies and fruits. If you can't dehydrate them yourself, a really great company is Harmony House Food Inc. They have an amazing selection of dehydrated organic foods that are incredibly easy to pack.

the garlic may be peeled and minced ahead of time, then stored in an airtight container. By using reusable baggies or food storage containers, you can save on space and minimize your packing. TOOLS TO TAKE Think carefully about the cooking tools and utensils you’ll need for each of your meals. Many camping cook sets have pots and bowls that nest into each other, and that are lightweight and efficiently packed. Stainless steel or titanium versions are the lighter options, while all plastics should be avoided. Similarly, you can find utensils with dual purposes, like a camping

spork, or spatula tools that fold up. Garnick, Myers and Joel Tate, of Bovine & Swine, however, swear by cast iron. While heavy, and maybe best for carcamping, cast iron is durable, versatile and easy to clean. Great at retaining heat from your campfire’s coals and being naturally nonstick, cast-iron skillets are perfect for cooking Myers’ breakfast hash (see recipe) all in one pan. Rather than packing a cumbersome lid, Myers suggests bringing some aluminum foil instead. Be sure to also throw in a pot holder to remove the pan from the heat with. When finished, the cast iron will carry forth its flavors to your next meal if you just rinse it with water. Tate prefers the low and slow cooking of a cast-iron Dutch oven, which boasts

similar assets to a typical pan. From soups to sweets, Dutch ovens are great for sautéing, steaming, boiling, frying and baking. For some versatility, he also opts for a Camp Chef Mountain Man Grill, which consists of a metal stake and multiple flat-top or opengrate cooking surfaces. Put up both to prepare his Reuben and campfire cobbler. TEMPERATURE CONTROL When it comes time to build your fire, start with dry wood and kindling in a designated campfire ring at your campsite. Before camping, check for fire bans and restrictions, especially near the end of our dry summers. Once you have a fire burning well, give it time to produce some hot coals.

FOOD STORAGE SAFETY

Be respectful of your surroundings while camping, and avoid attracting wildlife to your campsite by exercising proper food storage practices. > Keep your campsite clean of any items that have an odor — from food scraps to utensils. Don’t leave these items unattended or improperly stored at your campsite. > Don’t store these items in tents. Instead, utilize bear storage lockers or put food inside hardsided vehicles with the windows

CLARK MYERS’ CAMPFIRE BREAKFAST HASH Cooking Method: Cast-iron skillet 1/2 pound bacon 2 potatoes, diced 1 onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, diced 6 eggs Salt and pepper, to taste Separate some coals from the fire, pulling them aside for an even heating area. Place your cast-iron skillet on the coals. Add bacon

to the pan and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon, set aside and add the potatoes, onion and garlic to the pan with the bacon fat. Stirring occasionally, cook until the potatoes are cooked through. Crack the eggs on top of the mixture, cover with foil and place a few hot coals on top of the pan. Allow to cook, undisturbed, until the eggs are done to your liking. Add the bacon back in and dig in!

and doors fully closed. > Use the bear-resistant garbage cans and dumpsters located at campgrounds.

DISHINGJH.COM

It’s important to note that to master this type of cooking, you’ll want to cook over the coals rather than a direct flame. Myers says he made this mistake when he started cooking over a fire: “It’s so hard to control because it’s hard to know where that hot spot is.” Instead, pull some hot coals to the side of your fire ring, where, Myers says, “You’ll have more of an even flame and a medium-high heat.” Throughout your cooking process, you’ll need to swap those coals for freshly hot coals, to maintain your heat source. Having harnessed that heat, Myers suggests putting whatever local beer you have in hand to better use: “After searing a steak, I pour a little bit of beer in the pan because it releases all the flavors of the cast-iron pan and makes a really easy sauce,” he says. “Add a knob of butter and you have this instant campfire beer-butter sauce that you can put on anything.” He promises it’s a crowd-pleaser. While cooking with his Dutch oven, Tate aims for low temperatures to achieve slow cooking. He places the Dutch oven on top of a bed of warm coals, but swaps the coals on top of the Dutch oven’s lid for hot ones throughout. In addition, he’ll turn the Dutch oven while whatever is inside continues to cook, to disperse the ambient heat from the fire’s flames, which warms the sides. Otherwise, his Mountain Man Grill, with its various tiers, allows him to cook items at various heights over the coals — producing various temperature options.

JOEL TATE’S BOVINE AND SWINE PASTRAMI REUBEN WITH BLACK AND BLUE SAUSAGE Cooking method: Camp Chef Mountain Man Grill For the sandwich: 1 yellow onion, julienned 3 cups sauerkraut, drained 2 tablespoons caraway seed 1 tablespoon dill seed Salt and pepper, to taste 5 ounces pastrami, per sandwich, sliced Rye bread, buttered on one side 1 Bovine & Swine black and blue sausage, per sandwich, cut in half lengthwise Swiss cheese slices On the Camp Chef, sauté the onion in olive oil until caramelized.

For the Thousand Island dressing: 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/8 cup ketchup 1/4 cup relish Salt and pepper, to taste Assemble the sandwiches with pastrami, sauerkraut mixture, slices of Swiss cheese, the sausage and dressing between two slices of bread.

A Cider A Day... Jackson Hole entrepreneurs brew a variety of ciders to ripen your taste buds.

By Lanier Brooks Photos by Jay Nel-McIntosh

Whether you have a special occasion, a special friend visiting or just want to feel special for a night, Jackson Hole offers plenty of options for splurging on memorable food and wine experiences. Here are some of our favorite options.

Undoubtedly spurred by the craft beer movement, hard cider production and consumption have really blossomed in the past couple of years. But the history of hard cider digs deep. We are talking as deep as 1300 B.C. when cider could be used as a form of currency. Fast-forward to present day, and according to beveragedaily. com, there are more than 900 cideries open in the U.S. alone — three of which you can find near Jackson Hole. Until recent years, the majority of ciders on the market (think Angry Orchard) tasted sugary and were more akin to wine coolers. Today, thanks to cidermakers’ efforts to embrace centuries-old expertise, while also introducing modern innovation, the flavor profiles have changed and the public’s thirst for the beverage has subsequently grown. Two new local cideries, Farmstead Cider and Highpoint Cider, are demonstrative of both ends of this spectrum. “We have a more modern take

on traditional fermenting/ production methods,” says Alex Perez of Highpoint. “The base for all of our ciders consists of a blend of the most common varietals you would find in any grocery store, and the result is generally a more approachable flavor.” On the other hand, Farmstead Cider’s focus is primarily on the use of native or industrial blends of apples defined by the region. “We are really digging into what Wyoming and Idaho harvests look like,” says Farmstead co-founder Orion Bellorado. “Wyoming has some gnarly bitter apples, while Idaho’s apples are sweeter, so when we blend the two, we get some seriously unique flavors.” Common to both cideries is the commitment to organic production methods, which allows for collaboration of ideas on how to create craft cider on both a sustainable and industrial scale. One of Farmstead’s driving missions is to harvest apples in neighborhoods that have issues with wildlife, particularly bears.

HIGH FIVE:

Highpoint Cider’s team includes Chief Engineer Seth Frey and co-founding brothers Andrew and Alex Perez.

“Our business got started by harvesting apples for the Teton Conservation District in an effort to deter bears from entering residential neighborhoods,” says Bellorado. “Since then, we have taken the mission up ourselves, and we try to harvest as many apples as we are given permission.” Meanwhile, in Teton Valley, Idaho, Rob Dupré of Chasing Paradise Meadery, a boutique winery, kitchen and farm, is producing 600 gallons of hard cider a year. A former brewer at Grand Teton Brewery and Snake River Brewing, Dupré has been producing hard cider for eight years now. Dupré uses fresh fruits grown on his farm such as cherries and plums to produce a fairly dry, less sweet cider that tastes more like a white wine. Dupré gives back 2% of all sales to nonprofit organizations, mostly through Teton Valley’s Tin Cup Challenge, and you can find Dupré’s Chasing Paradise hard apple cider in just about any liquor store in Jackson or Teton Valley. Within the next year, Dupré is hoping to build a new facility with a tasting room/retail outlet for all Chasing Paradise products, which include cider, several varietals of mead (raspberry, plum and cherry) and food items like pesto, hummus, energy bars and hot sauce. More time at home and less dining out this past year have many of us picking up new habits, specifically pertaining to eating and drinking. As it turns out, hard cider is a pursuit that is not just reserved for happy hour since it is very versatile and pairs well with many different cuisines. “Hard cider is tart and refreshing, food-friendly and excellent to sip at dinner,” says New York Times food and wine writer Florence Fabricant in her Oct. 3 article “Warm Up With Cider Cocktails”. The tart-sweet character of some varietals pairs well with Asian cuisine, while the semidry varietal, which

contains effervescence, pairs well with savory dishes like cream-based casseroles because the touch of fizz balances out the richness or fattiness. Begun in a difficult era (both of the newer business launched in the last two years), our local cideries have used time to their advantage to set a foundation for success. “Our community has come together and offered a ton of support, and we are responding to that by harvesting as much of the local fruit grown by our community’s members and distributing it back into the town in the form of unique, local ciders,” says Bellorado’s partner and co-owner of Farmstead Cider, Ian McGregor. Wholesale and distribution sales have been “totally enough” to keep Farmstead Cider solvent during the last year. For most small local businesses, where income is largely dependent on creativity and public events like tastings, the pandemic has been difficult. These businesses contribute to (and arguably define) the vibrancy and livability of our community. Thankfully, it appears that some in the hard-hit food industry are thriving. For example, over the past year,

Perez and his brother, Andrew, the other co-founder of Highpoint Cider, constructed a 1,000-square-foot cider taproom in Victor, Idaho, that houses 160 barrels worth of fermenting tanks, capable of producing 5-6 gallons of cider a month. “The pandemic has given us the time to focus on the construction of this space, and we are really proud of what we have accomplished” says Alex. Highpoint produces a number of varietals, all of which derive their namesakes from our community. For example, Tram-Line, a dry-hopped cider crafted with Mosaic hops, is bright and citrusy and is the hard cider the Perez brothers claim beer drinkers have been “waiting for” — hence the name. In recognition of the transient nature of Jackson, the brothers, who are from New England, chose Transplant as the moniker for a semidry, more traditional varietal. They describe it as “an homage to the New England tradition of small-batch cider and to the skiers of Maine, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont who venture West in search of new beginnings, community and champagne powder.” Want to join the cider support party? Start here by pairing one of our local cideries’ products with your next dinner. After all, you know what they say — an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Who better to ask for tips on cooking with cider than Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Co. owner Chris O'Blenness. He took the slightly sweet and tart Farmstead Cider and used it to braise some game brats. The result? A flavorful addition to any summer grill.

JACKSON HOLE BUFFALO MEAT’S CIDER-BRAISED GAME BRATS 2 tablespoons butter 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced 12 ounces hard apple cider 1 pound buffalo, elk or wild boar bratwurst > In a sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat and cook the onions and peppers until soft. Heat a grill pan or an

outdoor grill to medium-high. Add the cider and brats to the onions and peppers in the sauté pan. Loosely cover the sauté pan and let the brats steam in the cider until they’re just about cooked through. Once the brats have steamed through, place them on the grill, charring gently. While the brats are grilling, turn up the heat on the sauté pan. Simmer the onion, pepper and cider until the juices have reduced to a nice syrupy consistency. Add the grilled brats back in and serve.

GREENS FOR GOOD:

Microgreens

Vertical Harvest’s mission includes providing employment opportunities for people in underserved communities, like Tim McLaurin.

Offering countless health benefits, microgreens are the perfect topping to any meal. Packed with protein, they can help regulate your metabolism and decrease your blood pressure. True story: Microgreens are small but mighty! Microgreens available at Vertical Harvest include:

CHERVIL French herb with a licorice flavor DAIKON radish shoot with a gently spicy flavor

There are very few drawbacks to living in Jackson Hole. The views are breathtaking, the lineup of tantalizing restaurants is expansive and we get to enjoy world-class culture on a delightfully small scale. One thing that this valley is a little short on? Frost-free days for growing fresh, local produce. (We average around a whopping 30 per year!) But thanks to the innovative work at the downtown Vertical Harvest greenhouse, Jackson Hole can enjoy locally grown greens, tomatoes and more year-round. Situated on the southern flank of a downtown parking garage, Vertical Harvest is a hydroponic greenhouse that is able to deliver farm-to-table produce in less than 24 hours. With 10 other communities now following the flagship model, which opened in Jackson Hole in 2016, Vertical Harvest has not only put forward a profitable model of weather-proof organic farming but has also created a thriving community around the produce they provide.

Providing inclusive employment with opportunities for upward career mobility has been a core tenet of Vertical Harvest since its inception. Part of founder Nona Yehia’s motivation sprang from her lifetime of experience with her brother, who has disabilities. “He had the same gifts that I have, but the world wasn’t ready to see him in the same way,” she reflects. “I’ve been an advocate before I even realized what that means.” Tim McLaurin, who has worked at Vertical Harvest since its earliest days, says that the microgreens are among his favorite produce they grow. “All of the chefs love them!” he explains. McLaurin, who has Down syndrome, loves his role at the greenhouse. Alongside an enthusiastic team of co-workers, many of whom also have developmental disabilities, McLaurin feels that the greenhouse gives him a unique career opportunity as well as a genuine and supportive community.

VERTICAL HARVEST’S PEA SHOOT PANCAKES Yields approximately 10 pancakes.

Think of these pea-infused savory pancakes as a blank canvas ready to welcome all sorts of toppings such as smoked fish, a slick of hummus or even just melted butter. And don’t forget to sprinkle on some additional pea shoots! 3 large eggs 1 cup cottage cheese 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup chickpea flour 1 garlic clove, minced 2 teaspoons lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup chopped pea shoots (and extra for topping) 3 tablespoons chives, chopped In a food processor or blender, blend together eggs, cottage cheese, oil, chickpea flour, garlic, lemon zest and salt. Pulse in pea shoots and chives. Heat lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add batter 1/4 cup at a time to pan and cook pancakes until bubbles form on top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until pancakes are browned on the bottom and centers are just cooked through, about 1 minute longer. Let pancakes cool on a metal rack while you prepare the remaining batter.

“The best part of working at the greenhouse? It’s everything,” he laughs. “I have the best time of my life. I work in facilities, and do things like wash bins and trays. And I also get to help make deliveries to restaurants in Jackson and Teton Village. I get to meet all of the chefs!” As the business has expanded over the past half-decade, Vertical Harvest has sold locally grown organic greens and tomatoes (produced on over 400 tomato plants!) directly to the community and has also developed close-knit relationships with some of the valley’s most celebrated chefs. Over the past winter, the farming team collaborated with local chefs to create specialty blends of microgreens — one of the greenhouse’s most popular offerings. “We look at chefs as collaborators,” says

Yehia. “Especially in our culinary circle, as we were developing our specialty blends, we had different chefs testing flavor profiles and thinking about how they’d incorporate these mixes into dishes. Then we were able to really quickly respond. That was a really phenomenal process — in a way, it’s a chefdriven product. It’s incredible to be able to use that expertise and incorporate it into our crop portfolio.” Josh Governale, head chef at Orsetto and Café Genevieve, was part of the microgreen blend design process. “It was actually very cool — I learned just as much from the process as I was able to contribute,” he recalls. The Vertical Harvest staff brought him samples of each type of available microgreen. After he sampled each, they began mixing the different sprouts together, experimenting

with varying flavor profiles to create new blends. Governale incorporates Vertical Harvest products into his menus as often as he’s able, heralding both the quality of the produce and the relationship he has been able to cultivate with those doing the growing. “I like to know where my produce comes from. The relationship is so important,” he says. “We learn from one another and develop trust. It’s a two-way street. It’s a close connection, and I try to incorporate as much local produce as I possibly can.” The microgreens are among his favorites. Governale frequently reaches for microarugula (a subtle peppery flavor), rock chives (a gentle onion flavor) and red vein sorrel (a hint of citrus flavor) when garnishing dishes. “The microgreens are less fibrous than fullgrown greens; the texture is more delicate, but the flavor is all there,” he explains. Governale uses the example of sprinkling the tiny greens on Orsetto’s beef carpaccio: “The delicacy of the microgreens doesn’t take away or overpower the delicate flavor of the other ingredients.” Nikki Thompson has worked in a variety of roles at Vertical Harvest since she joined the team in 2006, including administrative assistant. “I wish more people knew that they are not only contributing to a business when they buy our products, but they are contributing to the lives of differently abled people, who can and want to work in the community,” she says. “Being part of the greenhouse team means a lot to me. It gives me meaningful, fun employment, as well as earning an income.” Yehia believes that part of the Vertical Harvest program is as important as the food they grow. “What Vertical Harvest has been able to help with is finding a path toward

exposing people’s abilities through food — something that’s meaningful to all of us,” she says. “I believe it’s a model whose time has come. We all eat, we all need jobs, and where that intersects creates opportunity. “Before Vertical Harvest, these individuals were bagging groceries, washing dishes, cleaning hotel rooms; they were part of a population that had jobs but didn’t have a path toward a career. Now, they’re not only producing the most valuable commodity to any community — healthy, nutritious food — they’re leading the charge in an innovation in farming that has the potential to address some of our planet’s most challenging problems. It’s a sea change in perception of what this population can do.” The pandemic offered a new depth of understanding for the value of the Vertical Harvest team’s contribution to the community, says Yehia. “Being a model for these careers, and showing how people with disabilities day in and day out came to make sure that we were able to feed our community — we provided a place where everyone felt like they were doing something critical to take care of one another. It gave everyone a space to feel connected, strong and resilient through a major crisis.” In a multitude of ways, Vertical Harvest is growing good in Jackson Hole (and beyond!). From employing members of underserved populations within the community, and providing sustainable, healthy food sources in nontraditional spaces, to building connections and passion for food with exciting and flavorful produce, it’s a business that is driving the culinary world and the banner of inclusivity forward. “As a community, especially as we navigated the isolation of the pandemic, our community was able to bond around food

and eating experiences,” explains Yehia. “Bringing people restaurant-quality food — replicating the access that chefs have — facilitated a lot of at-home exploration for families.” Delicious, nutritious food nourishes more than our physical bodies, she adds. “It’s vital for our mental health, too.”

Fun Facts: > Vertical Harvest was the first three-story greenhouse in the Northern Hemisphere. > The garden distributes food at the peak of nutritional and taste value to more than 80 groceries and restaurants in three states 365 days a year. > It replaces 100,000 pounds of produce formerly trucked into Jackson Hole.

Kitchen Views The lifestyle blogger of Graze Living uses an open space to cook from her garden and entertain. by Allison Arthur photos by Aaron Kraft

WHETHER

she is bringing in fresh eggs from her chicken coop or fresh veggies from her garden, Hillary Munro is rarely sitting down in her Shootin’ Iron kitchen. The DIY expert, whose lifestyle brand, Graze Living, focuses on entertaining and interior design, gets back to basics in an open kitchen space with everything from canning to crafting. Hillary, 43, and her husband, Mac, 49, moved into the home they built in 2018. With help from architect Anna Butler (Miro Studio) and Two Ocean Builders, the couple built a dreamy space designed with hand-picked details. When working on the plans, Hillary knew a couple of things she wanted to avoid. She previously had a kitchen island, and knew that she would prefer a peninsula instead, and a functional space where she can cook, entertain and craft. “It separates the space and keeps people out while I am working,” she says.

DISHINGJH.COM

With young children (Sawyer, 7, and Miller, 6) and the amount of entertaining they typically do, the couple decided on functional quartzite for the countertops. “I love the look of marble, but it’s too precious for my life,” she says. “Quartzite is not as porous and more durable, but is still a natural material.” Many of the materials, furniture and finishes in the Munros’ kitchen have a story behind them. The bar stools, for example, were found on a trip to Marfa, Texas, and the trim comes from an ornate engraved wood that her cabinetmaker found. Hillary loves that she met the people who made the stools and that often the pieces in her home have a story behind them.

86 D I S H I N G J H . C O M

FUNCTIONALITY WAS VERY

important to all the planning and design that went into the Munros’ home. The pantry is large and close by, for extra storage, workspace and accessibility. Hillary knew that she wanted a singlebasin sink and a buffet space near the dining table. When entertaining, the kids, she says, often sit at the bar and the adults at the table nearby.

HILLARY MUNRO’S TIPS FOR SETTING T H E TA B L E IN ADDITION TO THE FOOD, THE SETTING IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THE MUNRO HOME. FOLLOW THESE TIPS ON SETTING AN IMPRESSIVE TABLE AT YOUR NEXT DINNER. FORAGE FROM NEARBY: HIT UP YOUR YARD AND NEARBY FORESTLAND FOR FOUND ITEMS LIKE THESE JUNIPER BERRIES. MIX IN BAGS OF INEXPENSIVE GREENERY YOU CAN GET AT GROCERY STORES OR YOUR LOCAL FLORIST TO INCORPORATE SEASONAL BLOOMS AND FILL OUT THE DISPLAY. KEEP IT SIMPLE: MORE ELABORATE ISN’T ALWAYS MORE. STICK TO A CONTROLLED PALETTE, DIFFERENT SHADES OF GREEN AND BLUE, OR MUTED REDS WITH BRIGHT REDS. OFFER A MENU: USE EVERYDAY ITEMS LIKE LUNCH BAGS FOR THE MENU OR PLACE SETTINGS. FILL IT WITH SOMETHING FUN: SEND GUESTS AWAY WITH PARTING GIFTS LIKE SPICED NUTS OR HOMEMADE CANDY AND/OR KEEPSAKES. MIX METALS: USE COPPER, BRASS, SILVER AND CERAMICS. YOU CAN MIX AND MATCH AND CREATE AN ELEVATED FEEL WITHOUT IT BEING OVERLY FANCY.

WELL-SEASONED:

Most nights, the whole family eats dinner at the table together, and 90% of the time, Hillary cooks her meals using cast-iron pans.

The table, for example, came from a friend’s store (Flower Hardware). “It came from an old bakery in Minnesota and took about five people to move it in. They used it as a prep table. I love anything that tells a story.” During more social times, Munro likes to entertain. Guests are often treated to themed dinners that come along with hand-crafted party gifts. She always sets the table to reflect the seasons and aims to create an environment that is welcoming to all ages. Many of the items she uses to decorate the tables are foraged for either in her garden or on local forestland. Hillary came up with the concept and name “Graze” from the desire to live off open space, and being able to graze and forage nearby. She tries to incorporate that concept as much as she can into her life and home.

The Atticus Hotel Right in the heart of downtown McMinnville (also one of the hearts of the Willamette Valley), this charming 36-room boutique hotel is steps away from 18 tasting rooms and only a 20-minute drive in any direction from more than 250 wineries. While there are art galleries, renowned restaurants, farmers markets and breweries right out the door, you must take time to explore the art and carefully constructed nuances at the hotel first. The staff will make you an expertly brewed cappuccino while you digest the custom pieces of art designed to showcase all that the town and Oregon have to offer. No detail was overlooked by the developers, who sourced approximately 80% of the building from Oregon producers. From the tile to the mattresses to the lighting and even the fixtures, as much as possible in the building originated from businesses based in the state.

is the winemaker and passion behind the project. The winery is over 20 years old and makes everything from sparkling wine to port. Chehalem is known for its singlevineyard pinot noirs and innovative whites. When Bill Stoller (also owner of Stoller Family Estate) took over as the owner, the winery quickly became one of only a few Oregon wineries to achieve B Corp status — which entails a rigorous certification process. Touted as “distinctly Oregon,” Bergström Wines produces 10,000 cases a year of two chardonnays and nine pinot noirs from five estate vineyards. The grapes are grown without chemicals or pesticides, and the company is run by the family who started it. When visiting Stoller Family Estate, find 225 acres of vines, primarily dedicated to pinot noir (70%) and chardonnay (25%). Viticulturists use innovative techniques here to bring out the best in the grapes. With the cool ocean breezes coming from the Pacific Ocean only 37 miles away, Left Coast Estate is the perfect climate for growing grapes. The family-run vineyard takes a holistic approach to its all-estate wines. A darling of the region, Domaine Serene offers much of what you have come to expect when you visit a luxury winemaker — sweeping hills and an impressive clubhouse designed to delight anyone who stops by. The winemakers go for a low yield, allowing for the fruit to offer the maximum expression of the land.

The Drouhin family has been producing wine in Burgundy since 1880, and now its fourth generation of winemakers has been working in the Dundee Hills since 1987. The wines at Domaine Drouhin are all estate-grown, and its 124 acres are high-density planting and LIVEcertified (researched-based standards for sustainable winegrowers). At Legacy Estate Vineyard, you will find Eola Hills Wine Cellars, one of Oregon’s largest wineries, producing 80,000 cases a year. Tastings offer five varieties and seasonal additions. Bryn Mawr Vineyards rests at one of the highest and rockiest sites in the valley. Its winemaker takes a new-world approach to produce innovative red, white and rosé. DINE
