Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLD DRINK ON A HOT DAY? EDITORS editors@dishingjh.com Allison Arthur I love a good margarita on a sunny day. If I am really “thirsty,” I get a jumbo margarita from Abuelito’s. They contain fresh-squeezed lime juice and are extremely strong.

Cara Rank I fell in love with Aperol spritzes last summer in Italy, and I like Glorietta’s different takes on the cocktail. They change up their spritzes each season, so you never know what they will come up with next.

ART DIRECTOR Tim Hussey ART ASSOCIATE Kristen Hartnett The Kale-Licious smoothie from Jackson Whole Grocer. It is light, refreshing and delicious, and a great way to get some fruits and veggies in.

CONTRIBUTORS Cal Brackin Michelle DeLong Rosie Hansen Aaron Kraft Adam Larkum Jay Nel-McIntosh A homemade sangria in the backyard, or a tamarind margarita on the deck at The Kitchen.

Ashley Merritt Nina Resor Sam Simma There’s nothing more rewarding than enjoying a Long Island iced tea on the Deck at Piste after a hike up the Wildflower Trail at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

Melissa Thomasma I’m quite fond of the blackberry margaritas at Signal Mountain Lodge. Overlooking the lake…mmmmmm.

What We Crave

This was shot on one of our trips to Park City during a scenic bike ride with Silver Star Ski & Sports.

WE OFTEN TRAVEL to Utah where we publish another magazine, Dishing Park City. On our summertime trips, we always make time to visit the Salt Lake City farmers market, where one of our favorite vendors sells fresh salsa and homemade tortillas that we bring back home. This got us thinking about making our own tortillas, so we asked Hatch Taqueria to teach us the art, on page 27. While we plan to eat tacos all summer long with our newfound skills, here is everything else you will find us eating this season. On Wednesdays the Jackson Hole People’s Market pops up at the base of Snow King. Pick up a locally brewed beer from Roadhouse Brewing Co., grab some dumplings and have dinner on a blanket in the park. Weekends call for firing up the grill and cooking Lockhart Cattle Co. steaks from Jackson Whole Grocer or fresh seafood that is flown into Jackson Hole Marketplace. Gather locally grown corn for grilling and veggies for a salad from the Jackson Hole Farmers Market on the Town Square. On the way up to Grand Teton National Park, stop into Creekside Market for a monster deli sandwich to fuel your adventures. Don’t forget to fill your Swell bottle from Jackson Bootlegger with a fresh-squeezed Greyhound sloshie. And rather than heating up the oven — and your house — grab some sweet treats from Persephone Bakery or Picnic for your post-hike snack. You earned it!

fter living in cities her whole life, Rosie Hansen moved to Jackson Hole for the open spaces and outdoor lifestyle. The gallery manager at Ringholz Studios as well as a contributor to Dishing, Hansen was pleased to discover that Jackson offers her two favorite things about city life — access to inspiring art and great dining. What is your idea of the perfect summer (eating) day in Jackson Hole? My perfect day of eating in Jackson Hole would start at Persephone Bakery with a kouign-amann (like a caramelized croissant!) and an almond milk iced latte. I would then head to the park for a day of waterskiing on Jackson Lake, where I would stop by Leeks Marina & Pizzeria for its excellent pizza. I would end my day at the Snake River Grill, hopefully outside on the deck, where I would order a Clayton’s Margarita and a smoked salmon potato pancake, and cap it all off with Eskimo Bars! In this issue, you wrote about some sweet summery treats. Do you have a favorite or two? Definitely the Eskimo Bars from Snake River Grill, which are ice cream and brownie bars covered in chocolate. I also love the Cream and Sugar mini ice cream sandwiches. Mint chip is the best flavor. You lived in Paris and New York before you landed in Jackson Hole. How does the food scene here hold up? Jackson is a small town with a big food scene. I am constantly discovering great new restaurants at all price points. I also grew up in Los Angeles, so I have a pretty high bar for Mexican food, sushi and juice bars. Jackson has a few authentic Mexican spots (Fiesta is a favorite), King Sushi beats some of the best sushi bars in LA and NYC, and Healthy Being has hands-down the best green juice. Since you started contributing to Dishing, have you uncovered any secret spots (or dishes) you want to share with others? I discovered Glorietta, a fantastic Italian trattoria, thanks to Dishing. I think some visitors don’t know about this spot, since it’s on the quiet part of Glenwood Street, north of the Town Square, but it’s absolutely the best Italian in town. Order the pesto campanelle and the mozzarella sticks.

THIS DESSERT SPECIAL WAS SO POPULAR, IT IS NOW ON THE MENU.

Mary’s coffee cake was the dessert of the day at Snake River Brewing, and it was mind-blowing. I never expected coffee cake to be so decadent. They should really consider putting it on the permanent dessert menu. — SALENE FREEMAN, NAPLES, FL

I’m always impressed by the vegan dishes at Gather. They always sound appetizing, even to a carnivore like myself. When I opted for the vegan panisse last winter instead of a meat dish, I was thrilled with the result. How do they do it? — JADE SCHROCK, BOZEMAN, MT

Gather’s Vegan Panisse Recipe Makes 1/2 sheet pan 2/3 cup masa corn flour 3 1/3 cups cici bean powder (garbanzo flour) 2/3 cup garlic, minced 2/3 cup shallot, minced 3/4 cup jalapeño, finely shaved 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Crisco 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 quarts coconut milk 1/4 cup salt

CHEF CLARK MYERS SERVES THIS PANISSE WITH PICKLED VEGGIES AND AN APPLE BEET CREAM.

> Heat oven to 350 F. Toast the

masa and cici bean flour on a sheet pan for about 7 minutes, or until golden. In a large pot, sauté the garlic, shallot and jalapeño in the Crisco until translucent. Add the olive oil and coconut milk, and bring to a simmer. Slowly stir in the toasted flours and add the salt, stirring constantly until fully

incorporated. A thick paste should form that does not stick to the pot. Spread out onto greased pan to a 1-inch thickness. Let cool for 1 1/2 hours. Cut to desired shape. Sear in a nonstick pan on medium-high heat.

As much as I love every fried, baked or fire-roasted appetizer out there, Noodle Kitchen keeps me in check before my meal with their edamame, which is bright, healthy and tangy. I could eat it like I eat potato chips. How can I make myself an endless supply? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BROOKE CHAVEZ, RIVER FALLS, WI

Noodle Kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Edamame 1/3 cup dry sake 1/3 cup white wine 3 1/3 cups low sodium soy sauce 1 cup sugar 1 pound edamame, in the pod White and black sesame seeds for garnish

> Cook sake and wine

in a saucepan at a slow boil over medium heat until it has reduced by a third. Add soy sauce and continue to cook until reduced down by a third. Add sugar. Remove from heat and stir. Boil the edamame pods in salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander and pat dry. Toss in enough sauce to generously coat edamame and serve warm. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

EDITOR’S REQUEST: I am mildly obsessed with the fish tacos at Streetfood. In fact, I often go out of my way to eat them. What makes these tacos over-thetop delicious, in my opinion, is the extra-spicy habanero salsa they both sell and offer at the tables to top them with. They graciously shared the recipe. Yeah! — ALLISON ARTHUR

Streetfood’s Habanero Hot Sauce 1 pound habaneros, stems removed 4 large carrots, peeled and diced 2 medium onions, diced 3 garlic cloves 1 1/2 gallons distilled vinegar Salt and pepper to taste

> Bring all ingredients to a boil in a saucepan. Cook until veggies are tender. Remove from heat and let cool. Puree and season to taste.

A LESSON IN TORTILLAS BY ALLISON ARTHUR

HATCH TEACHES THE BASICS OF MAKING FRESH, WARM TORTILLAS WITH A FEW SIMPLE INGREDIENTS. P H OTO G RA P H S BY J AY N E L- M C I N TO S H

DISHINGJH.COM

THE INGREDIENT LIST AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING TORTILLAS ARE SO STRAIGHTFORWARD AND SIMPLE, THEY BEG THE QUESTION: WHY DO WE NOT MAKE THEM MORE OFTEN? THE TASK MIGHT SEEM DAUNTING, BUT TORTILLA MAKING IS ACTUALLY QUITE SIMPLE. WE TURNED TO THE EXPERTS AT HATCH TO SHOW US HOW IT IS DONE. PUT THE FEAR ASIDE. THERE IS REALLY NOTHING MUCH TO IT. WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE, YOURS WILL TURN OUT ROUND AND SOFT, AND WILL HOLD TOGETHER WITHOUT BEING TOO THICK.

& HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED:

• ROLLING PIN AND/OR TORTILLA PRESS • GRIDDLE, FLAT TOP OR A PAN • A COOLER AND KITCHEN TOWELS (FOR KEEPING THE TORTILLAS WARM) • PLASTIC WRAP • WAX PAPER

CORN TORTILLAS > THE MEASUREMENTS DEPEND ON HOW MANY YOU WANT TO MAKE, BUT PROPORTIONS ARE ABOUT 1:1 MASA HARINA TO ROOM TEMPERATURE WATER. > MIX THE MASA HARINA TOGETHER WITH THE WATER AND KNEAD THE DOUGH WITH YOUR HANDS INTO A SMOOTH BALL. WHAT TO LOOK FOR: THE DOUGH SHOULD BE A LITTLE TACKY, LIKE PLAY-DOH. IF IT IS TOO STICKY, ADD MORE WATER. IF IT IS NOT HOLDING TOGETHER OR RUNNY, ADD MORE MASA. IT SHOULD NOT BE CRUMBLY OR DRY. > IF THERE IS TOO MUCH WATER, IT WILL BE RUNNY. IF THERE IS TOO MUCH MASA, IT WILL BE CRUMBLY AND DRY.

Tip: Mix the do ugh with your hand you can feel ths so consistency as e you go.

Tip: Use room temperature tap water (not hot or cold).

> USING YOUR HANDS, PULL A GOLF BALL-SIZE PIECE OF THE DOUGH OFF AND ROLL IT INTO A SMOOTH BALL IN THE PALMS OF YOUR HANDS. > COVER BOTH SIDES OF A TORTILLA PRESS WITH PLASTIC WRAP, PLACE

n n’t ow you dsos, a flat f I : Tip tilla pre urface a tor nd a flat s ute. pan a e a substit can b

THE DOUGH BALL IN THE CENTER AND APPLY LIGHT PRESSURE ONE TIME ON THE DOUGH. COOK THE TORTILLAS ON A FLAT SURFACE THAT IS ABOUT 480 F. COOK EACH SIDE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES OR UNTIL SOFT AND HELD TOGETHER. IF YOU ARE DOING A LARGER BATCH THAT WILL NOT BE USED RIGHT AWAY, STORE SEPARATED BY WAX PAPER AND WRAPPED IN A TOWEL IN A COOLER.

Tip: Always cook to order if you can. The dough will last for 12 hours covered in plastic at room temperature. DISHINGJH.COM

FLOUR TORTILLAS

This recipe will make about twenty 6-inch tortillas. 3 cups flour 1 cup water 1/2 cup lard* 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder

*You can substitute margarine, but not butter, in the flour tortillas if you want to avoid lard. Bacon fat is also a good, flavorful alternative. > Mix all ingredients in a bowl, and knead until the dough is smooth, 5-10 minutes. WHAT TO LOOK FOR: The dough should be a little sticky and cling to your fingers a bit if they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t covered in flour. (You can do this step in a KitchenAid with a dough attachment, too.)

> Form the dough into a large ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. > Cover your hands with flour and pinch 1-inch pieces of dough off and roll into small balls. Using a rolling pin coated with flour, roll each ball to form a 6-inch tortilla. Cook on a flat top surface at about 480 F for a minute or two on each side, until it is lightly browned.

HATCHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MEZCAL MARGARITA 2 ounces mezcal (Hatch uses Del Maguey Vida) 2 ounces fresh lime juice 1/2 ounce agave Cinnamon-dipped orange for garnish

> Put the first three ingredients in a shaker, and shake to combine. Pour over rocks in a lowball glass and garnish with the cinnamon orange.

HATCH’S TOMATILLO SALSA 5 quarts tomatillos 1 quart serrano peppers, with seeds 1/4 cup garlic 1/4 cup white vinegar 2 bunches cilantro 1/2 white onion Salt and pepper to taste > Using a hand blender or food processor, blend all ingredients until roughly chopped and combined. Season as needed.

HATCH’S CHIPOTLE SALSA 1 1/2 gallons fresh tomatoes, chopped 1/4 gallon fresh jalapeños with seeds, chopped 1/4 gallon pickled jalapeños 1/4 gallon white onion, chopped 1/4 gallon green onion (green and white parts), chopped 1/2 can chipotles in adobo sauce 1/4 gallon tomato juice 1/4 cup salt 1/2 cup cumin 1 cup lime juice Salt and pepper to taste > Combine all ingredients in a food processor, and blend until smooth.

Jackson Classic: Dornan’s

This family-owned business has a history and clientele full of regulars. by Sam Simma

sit down and before you know it, you’ll be visiting with a new friend,” recommends Frank King, longtime local and visitor to the businesses at Dornan’s. Located in the shadow of the Grand Teton, Dornan’s is a long-standing family business that has made its way into the hearts, and stomachs, of locals and tourists alike. Located near the Moose entrance station to Grand Teton National Park, Dornan’s was, in its early days, along the main highway, and the only stop between Jackson and Dubois. Since then, the road has moved and the valley has experienced exponential growth and development. Dornan’s has a colorful history that has evolved into the present-day offerings: a chuck wagon, rental cabins, gift shop and

“JUST

go to the bar,

deli, sports rental shop, bar and restaurant, and extensive wine shop. The property is host to a variety of events throughout the year, including wine tastings on a budget, wine dinners, the Hootenanny and more. In a sense, Dornan’s really does do it all. Huntley Dornan is the CEO of Dornan’s, and the great-grandson of the original homesteader. His great-grandmother moved to Jackson Hole in 1919, and the business that is today Dornan’s was started by his grandfather in the 1940s, after World War II. Dornan’s has been operated by Dornan family members ever since. The business evolved and grew to fit the needs of its visitors. The reputable wine shop began as his grandfather’s passion for quality California wines. Like his father before him, Huntley grew up at Dornan’s. Like in most family businesses, Huntley jokes, “They put me to work as soon as I could carry something.” He recalls helping

dig irrigation trenches for the cabins built in the early ’90s. Growing up at Dornan’s meant constantly being in the outdoors and becoming addicted to the Chuckwagon’s secret sourdough pancakes. “From the moment the snow started melting to summer, I was frothing at the mouth for those pancakes,” he says. The view of Grand Teton turns every visit to Dornan’s into an experience. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, that view will never look exactly the same as it did before, but it remains just as captivating. Kim and Jerry Sorgenfrey, of Wyoming, Iowa, have been frequenting Dornan’s for almost 10 years. They now visit Jackson Hole twice each year, and Dornan’s is their first stop off the airplane. “Dornan’s is my favorite place

MAIN MENU:

Salads, pizzas and pastas are menu favorites that you can enjoy all summer on Dornanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scenic rooftop deck.

in the world to have a cocktail,” Kim says. Even if you’re not a Dornan, Dornan’s manages to make you feel like a part of a great, big extended family. In a busy time and destination, Dornan’s holds on to that ability to turn your neighbor into your friend. At times, people at Dornan’s have mistaken the Sorgenfreys for locals, and for two weeks a year, they are. Visitors frequent Dornan’s for a variety of purposes. For Frank King and his wife, it’s watching the sun set behind the Teton range from the upstairs deck of Dornan’s, paired with a glass of wine from the Wine Shoppe’s expansive collection. Sue and Steve Morris have been attending the wine dinners at Dornan’s regularly since 2004, having missed fewer than a handful since. The Morrises describe the wine dinners at Dornan’s as a family-style meal, where quality food is paired with a diverse array of wines, and you’re always able to befriend a stranger. Amy McReynolds started working at Dornan’s as a teenager and met her husband there. A Moose local, she saw him drive his yellow truck through the Dornan’s parking lot on multiple occasions before he stopped to talk to her while she was taking down the gift shop’s wind chimes at the end of the workday. Later, he would ask to buy her a drink at the Dornan’s bar, and finally, ask her on a proper date. This was in 1993; now, Amy and her husband have two teenagers who have both worked at Dornan’s at some point. “My kids learned to walk in that restaurant,” Amy jokes. With its prime location, unparalleled views and family-friendly

atmosphere, Dornan’s becomes a part of the Jackson experience, whether that experience spans a vacation, a season or a lifetime. “I’m really proud of what my family’s done here,” Huntley says. “We do the best we can, and we will continue to strive to do the best we can.” In a valley that drastically changes with the seasons, there’s steadfast warmth at Dornan’s that makes strangers feel like family. So pull up a seat, settle in for the sunset and know what a second home feels like, only at Dornan’s. BLOODY GOOD VIEWS:

There is no better place to get a view of the Tetons than from Dornan’s bar. Can’t identify the mountains in the backdrop? Refer to the bar napkin for a guide.

JACKSON

tiny and isolated town, but we tend to gather the best in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the renowned chocolatier and pastry chef Oscar Ortega. Originally hailing from Mexico City, Ortega fed his culinary talent by living and cooking in France, Italy, England and Spain in his early 20s. During this journey through Europe, Ortega enrolled in the Cast Alimenti School in Italy to deepen his knowledge of European cuisine. While Ortega was in school, the Italian team won the Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie, a high-level pastry competition. Ortega, who has since won the same competition for his home country of Mexico, was inspired by the Italian team twice over: He fell in love with the world of desserts, and with the heat of competition. Ortega has since traveled the world to compete in and win many competitions, including first place at the Gelato World Cup for an exquisite cactus sorbet. His hole may be a

decadent, buttery espresso hazelnut praline, which you can (and should) sample at CocoLove and Atelier Ortega, won the best chocolate in the world at the World Chocolate Masters competition in Italy. There is no denying Ortega’s creative genius and flawless execution when it comes to desserts, but spend one minute chatting with this intensely driven chef and you will realize that he has something in common with Olympic gold medalists and world champion athletes: ambition, focus and work ethic. Those traits land him a spot among the true Jackson Hole hardcore: Like so many who call the valley home, Ortega is unstoppable until he reaches the top. LAST SPRING YOU RETURNED FROM COACHING AND JUDGING ANOTHER DESSERT COMPETITION IN FRANCE. HOW DID IT GO?

We did a competition called Mondial des Arts Sucrés in France; it is the world

WHAT KEEPS YOU COMING BACK TO THE COMPETITION CIRCUIT?

OSCAR ORTEGA’S BREAD PUDDING 6 cups torn puff pastry (Chef Ortega makes his own, but you can use day-old pastries as a substitute or find his recipe online at dishingjh.com) 12-ounce can evaporated milk 13.5-ounce can coconut milk 1 pint half and half 1 1/2 cups sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 tablespoons vanilla paste or extract 1/3 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon nutmeg 4 egg yolks 4 eggs

Competition is something that pushes me all the time, that makes me better, that teaches me a lot. It’s the best school you could ever have. WHAT IS THE MOST DIFFICULT COMPONENT OF PREPARING FOR A COMPETITION OF THIS CALIBER?

The hardest question is: What do you present that the rest of the world will love? There are 22 judges that you have to please, everyone from Georgia to Colombia to Norway to Egypt. It’s very difficult because everyone has different palates and perceptions. The pressure is crazy.

> Place torn pieces of baked puff pastry in a bowl. Blend remaining batter ingredients in a blender until well combined. Add to bowl with puff pastry and let soak for at least 1 hour. Add to a 9-by-12-inch sheet pan, cover with aluminum foil and bake at 320 F for 30 minutes. > Chill and refrigerate. Cut into desired serving sizes and warm before serving.

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR CONCEPT TO PRESENT TO THESE JUDGES?

We tasted a lot, and made the desserts over

competition of sugar and confections. We ended in fifth place. It was really close. I was a little disappointed . . . I have been doing this competition since 2008, and I wanted to win. I don’t know how long it’s going to take me, but I’m going to do it.

and over. Then we started developing the artistic concept. The theme this year was “French luxury.” So, within that, we chose perfumery and makeup.

TELL ME ABOUT THE FIRST TIME YOU EVER COMPETED.

It’s all about the culture. For example, all the servers during the competition were young kids training to be professional servers. The way they serve the table, the way they place the silverware, the whole display . . . they represent the chef’s food. There is passion and knowledge in the whole world of French cuisine, and that is what inspires me the most.

The very first time I competed, I was representing Mexico. We had a very good result, and the people who organize the competition asked me if I wanted to bring a team to represent the United States. We went over there, and it was the very first time the United States had a team in the competition. We ended sixth in the world.

Experts share tips on how to get Insta-worthy food photography.

By Michelle DeLong Illustrations by Cal Brackin

It’s no secret

the advent of social media has revolutionized food photography — the upside being drool-worthy #foodporn pages that you can scroll relentlessly from the comfort of your couch, and the downside being a feed that is crammed with random high school acquaintances’ poorly lit dim sum dinners. But did you know that food photography on social media is changing the food we eat and the way we dine? Bellota, a Spanish restaurant in San Francisco, is the first restaurant to feature custom lamps with “perfect” Instagram lighting. You can even position your phone on the lamp’s neck to snap a selfie. It’s no wonder restaurants like Bellota are pandering to amateur photographers and Instagram influencers — social media platforms can bring patrons in the door. “Restaurants are trying to have the next viral, crazy thing. Fifty percent are concerned with taste, and 50 percent are more concerned with making something over the top,” Dishing photographer Angela Howard muses while discussing photos of bloody marys adorned with tiny cheeseburgers on toothpicks. Food trends like black charcoal ice

cream, rainbow-colored “unicorn” Frappuccinos, and doughnuts sporting icing mustaches all elicit the same irresistible urge to share on social media. Restaurants are even decorating differently in an effort to utilize Instagram’s extended marketing arm. Kitschy joints like the Mother of Pearl tiki bar in New York’s East Village, whose Shark Eye cocktail became the most Instagrammed cocktail of 2016, have seen an uptick in popularity over eateries with dark décor and soft lighting, largely due to perceived Instagramability. A quick search for the Alfred Tea Room in Los Angeles renders hundreds of Instagram photos in front of a strategically placed neon sign that reads, “Tea, Yes. You, Maybe.” We have plenty of examples of this phenomenon in Jackson, too — Persephone Bakery’s aesthetic dishware, colorful baked goods and spoon collage wall make it a social media belle. Local restaurateur Graeme Swain, who owns Gather and Palate, claims that the popularity of food photography has led to longer ticket times, which, according to his research, “contributes to a loss of revenue in restaurants around the world.” Most people who come to Swain’s restaurant Gather take photos of their food, which Swain encourages, even if it means they may take a little longer to clear their plate. Sometimes, one good photo is worth a thousand Yelp reviews. Of course, there are other downsides to the sudden explosion of food photography on the internet, like poorly taken photos that hardly do delicious dishes justice. All hell broke loose on the Twittersphere in 2013 when Martha Stewart tweeted a shot of an iceberg wedge salad with Russian dressing that looked about as appetizing as a wet newspaper. The truth is, food photography can be tricky no matter who you are, and it is important to remember that eating with the eyes is only part of the equation. Dishing sits down with photographers Angela Howard and Jay Nel-McIntosh to make sure bad food photos never happen to you. Sit back and count the likes — just don’t forget to clear your plate. DISHINGJH.COM

MODEL BEHAVIOR LET’S BREAK DOWN A FEW OF THE MOST COMMONLY PHOTOGRAPHED FOODS.

Pizza is a tricky food to photograph. To dial in mouthwatering melted cheese, take your photo as soon as the pie gets to your table. Large dishes like pizza call for creative composition — try taking out a slice to add negative space. Wipe up excess grease and add a garnish of parsley or oregano.

Hamburgers are fun to photograph because they feature

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR

NAILING THE MUNCHIE SHOT 1. Make good lighting your BFF. Use natural light whenever possible (hello, window seat) and be wary of accent lighting. That cute pendant light above your table could create weird red and yellow tones, so avoid it or ask to turn it off. If you find yourself in unavoidable low light, backlight your shot with a friend’s iPhone or go old school and use an actual flashlight.

2. Clean it up, dress it up. Howard assures us that the best food photos don’t always 100 percent represent what the dish always looks like. Don’t be afraid to add things in or take things out. Pay attention to things like crumbs or grease stains that might ruin your shot, and “sit down and style things. Bring in materials like a garnish, fun napkin, cutlery, some coarse ground salt and peppercorns strewn about … to get an editorial look.” 3. Check your settings. If using an iPhone or other smartphone camera, adjust the exposure by clicking on the object and sliding your finger up to increase and down to decrease. Always turn on HDR for the best-quality image. 4. Forget about perfection. Nel-McIntosh tells us, “Don’t be afraid to mess the dish up a little bit. Photos look good when there are hands in there, when there are bites taken out, when it doesn’t look so perfect. Don’t be afraid to make it look like it’s being enjoyed.”

5. Embrace the edits. A lot can be done to enhance your photo beyond standard Instagram filters. We love the Foodie app — this nifty download automatically brightens your photos and has different settings for cocktails, desserts, fruit, pasta and more.

playful details like height and layers. If your burger comes in a basket, try re-plating it. Shoot a perpendicular photo to showcase the burger’s layers, and try asking for an extra ramekin of sauce to add to the shot. Colorful tacos are pretty hip right now and can make a great photograph. If your taco has a soft shell, reposition it by propping it up with This was an extra slice of lime. Try the most photographing tacos from instagrammed drink of 2016. above, and add garnishes like purple cabbage slaw or pico de gallo. PRO TIP:

Expose your photos for the white areas in flour shells or queso fresco to avoid an overexposed shot.

Ice cream photographs are all about prep. Figure out where and how you’re going to shoot beforehand, and ask for ice cream in a chilled glass to buy yourself a little extra time. You have two to three minutes to get the perfect shot before melting ice cream becomes a problem. Keep the backdrop simple: Find blank walls to make bright, playful ice cream really pop. Play up the garnishes on cocktails by adding a citrus twist to a Bellini or a stick of cinnamon to a white Russian. Remove plastic bar straws and be mindful of glasses sweating in the summer heat — a little bit of sweat can look cool, but too much comes across as messy.

Outside the Kitchen Get Iced

Sudachi’s Dustin Rasnick ices down sushi while Jackson Hole Still Works creates a cool cocktail bar for an outdoor summertime evening. by Allison Arthur and Cara Rank

WHILE

Jackson Hole is no Arizona, for a few weeks in July and August, the afternoon heat calls for a cooling down. Some of us jump in the rivers or enjoy an afternoon slushie, but others have an even better idea: Throw a garden party featuring ice bars to keep food and drinks cool. Local “Ice Man” Michael Hoffman created the vehicles to host a bar and sushi station at the home of Katrina and Brandon Ryan. As owners of Sudachi, Aspens Market and Pearl Street Market, they had no trouble rounding up a chef (Sudachi’s Dustin Rasnick) to provide a feast guaranteed to please their guests at this chill dinner party. Iced oysters and sashimi, paired with an Asian salad, were expertly complemented by Jackson Hole Still Works’ trio of refreshing cocktails. Sudachi’s black sesame ice cream, made specifically for the restaurant by Moo’s Gourmet Ice Cream, was a crisp finish. Read on to see how to re-create this event for yourself.

5 S T E P S F O R T H R OW I N G A S A S H I M I D I N N E R PA R T Y

WHILE THIS DINNER PARTY MAY LOOK FANCY AND HARD TO RE-CREATE, IT’S ACTUALLY QUITE SIMPLE AND REQUIRES LITTLE HANDS-ON WORK. HERE ARE A FEW TRICKS.

1) Buy fish and oysters from Aspens Market

or Pearl Street Market. Talk to the fishmonger at each store to find out what is fresh and then order that. You will have to buy what is good and in season, which might not always be the fish you are familiar with, but some popular options include ahi and hamachi.

2) Pay for fish to be prepared. If you don’t have the proper knife skills or don’t want to hassle with cutting the fish yourself, ask the markets if they will scale and trim the fish for you. They might even slice it into sashimi pieces, so all you have to do is display it for guests. 3) Order takeout sushi rolls. If you have a hungry crowd that needs something more substantial, add sushi rolls to the mix. Call a week ahead of time to place your order. Order one roll per person to supplement the sashimi.

4) Gather other essentials. Make sure to have good soy sauce and wasabi on hand. Mounds of pickled ginger make a nice palate cleanser. And don’t forget the chopsticks. 5) Pick up dessert. While you can only find the sesame ice cream at Sudachi, seek out pints from local producers Cream and Sugar or Häagen-Dazs for topping with the sesame brittle.

STRAIGHT UP OR ON THE ROCKS? THE GRAND TETON IS BOTH. WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE TRACKED DOWN THE BEST SUMMER COCKTAILS TO TOAST YOUR ADVENTURES.

SHAKEN AND STIRRED:

ON THE ROCKS

TOP WITH THE PROSECCO, AND GARNISH WITH SORBET AND A THYME SPRIG.

TETON THAI’S THAI TEA Strike off the beaten path after a day of summer fun at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort by making Teton Thai your Teton Village dining and drinking destination. Cool off with the house specialty: spiked Thai tea. Strongly brewed black tea is spiced with classic Thai ingredients, and then sweetened with sugar. Customize your cocktail by choosing between rum, bourbon or vanilla vodka as your alcohol additive. Topped with a splash of milk, this drink is sweet, silky and a quick sipper.

GATHER’S ROOTS ’N’ FRUITS If you enjoy a shrub, then you must try Gather’s Roots ’n’ Fruits cocktail: combining beet juice, vodka, apple shrub, ginger, lemon and egg white. Deep red in color, this cocktail is a perfect blend of citrus and vegetables, with none being too over the top. As you lift your glass, you might catch the aroma of carrots, as the folks at Gather not only make fresh beet juice for this cocktail but also infuse the vodka with carrots.

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

TRIO’S 90 DAY WONDER Looking for a cooler with a kick? Trio’s 90 Day Wonder delivers both. This cocktail creation starts with jalapeñoinfused reposado tequila. Reposado means rested, as opposed to aged, and refers to tequila that has been resting in oak barrels for up to one year. The resting process mellows the tequila, without destroying the agave flavors and aromas consumers seek. In this instance, the spice of the jalapeño is given a summertime vibe with Brovo orange curacao, watermelon juice, lavender agave and lime. These components add necessary bold citrus notes, and the natural freshness of watermelon juice.

THE KITCHEN’S YUZU GIN FIZZ For some, summer is gin and tonic season. However, after you try the Yuzu Gin Fizz at The Kitchen, you’ll reconsider how you get a gin fix. Combining Jackson Hole Still Work’s Great Grey gin, yuzu juice, honey and egg white, this cocktail is a whole other animal. The yuzu juice brightens the gin, while the honey and egg white tame the tartness. The egg whites in particular lend a silky, foamy texture to the cocktail. Served in a highball glass with a wedge of lime, this isn’t The Kitchen’s only cocktail creation that steps outside the box.

GLORIETTA’S PUTT PUTT The team at Glorietta is always mixing up their artisanal cocktail menu, and last summer their menu featured the Putt Putt. While not on the menu in 2018, you can still get this secret summertime spritzer if you ask. This fizzy delight is full of flavor but easy on the booze. It’s a riff on a Northern Italian drink called the sgroppino, blending vodka, limoncello, lemon sorbet, dry vermouth, Salers Aperitif, prosecco and thyme. The ingredients are still on hand at Glorietta, so the drink can be made by request, or you can make it at home with the recipe we’ve included.

SNAKE RIVER GRILL’S SANGRIA DEL SOL SANGRIA celebrates the flavors of summer’s ripe fruits, literally, by combining chopped fruit with wine. Snake River Grill’s Sangria del Sol is white sangria with a base wine of Spanish albarino. Compared with a red sangria, this style is zingier and more refreshing, with a bright citrus character and acidity. The softness of the peachy stone fruit balances these flavors.

THE WHITE BUFFALO CLUB’S SOLSTICE SPRITZ Take one sip of a summertime spritzer and feel the luscious bubbles wash across your taste buds. A classic spritz is a light and bubbly sipper, but The White Buffalo Club’s Solstice Spritz features sparkling rosé in place of the traditional prosecco. This cocktail uses Lucien Albrecht Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rosé, along with Campari and rhubarb bitters. The bitters lend tartness to each sip, softening the bubbles.

THE HANDLE BAR’S WESTERN GAMBLER At the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, The Handle Bar’s stone patio is a top spot to enjoy a summer cocktail. The Handle Bar’s cocktail menu is constantly changing, satisfying summer cravings with seasonal flavors. Ever tried a cider cocktail? Take a gamble with The Handle Bar’s Western Gambler, featuring St. Germain, vodka, pomegranate, lemon, spices and hard cider. Standing solo, most of these ingredients boast strong, different flavor profiles. When shaken, these flavors blend pleasantly in a cocktail that has just the right amount of sweetness and spice.

HATCH’S LA PALOMA Soak in the sun on the deck at Hatch this summer, and quench your thirst with one of their palomas. La Paloma toasts the flavors of Camarena Blanco, fresh grapefruit, lime, agave nectar, soda and a salted rim. The grapefruit’s slightly sweet, slightly tart flavor smooths out the booze. Be careful tossing these back in the high heat of July, and don’t forget to hydrate.

SPUR’S ABOVE AVERAGE MARGARITA At Spur Restaurant & Bar, their freshly squeezed juices shine when it comes to making the Above Average Margarita. This margarita comes in three flavors: passion fruit, blood orange or traditional. (Insider’s tip: You can also combine the passion fruit and blood orange if you ask your server nicely.) Salt or no salt, cap off your Teton Village adventures with the perfect margarita.

CERAMIC

CANVAS RESTAURANTS CREATE ARTFUL FOOD BY USING CUSTOM POTTERY.

BY MELISSA THOMASMA PHOTOS BY JAY NEL-MCINTOSH

WHEELY GOOD:

Jenny Dowd is one of a few local potters who make custom pieces for area restaurants.

WHEN

it comes to incredible food, it’s no secret that presentation matters. Chefs pore over their creations, crafting each detail to perfection. Not only must flavor profiles jibe seamlessly with various textures, but also colors, shapes and dimensions must reflect the unique character of the dish. As the adage goes, we eat with our eyes first. A growing number of chefs in Jackson Hole are pushing their presentation even further by getting creative with the plates on which their culinary creations take shape. Some are teaming up with local potters to create custom bowls, plates and other tableware for their restaurants. These partnerships have produced stunning results; some of Jackson Hole’s most talented clay-workers have designed pieces that reflect the distinctive menu, personality and aesthetic of some of the valley’s best eateries. Nearly three years ago, chef Joel Hammond from The White Buffalo Club reached out to local potter Jenny Dowd. Immediately enamored of her rustic, elegant and slightly whimsical style, Hammond commissioned plates for the restaurant. And not just a few of them — all in all, the collection was around 300 pieces. With well more than a decade of ceramics experience, Dowd loves working with chefs like Hammond to design the pieces that help SWEET TOOTH:

them showcase their food. “Everyone has a different vision,” she explains. “It’s so cool working alongside a chef and making the plate itself a part of their vision.” The exchange of ideas and designs flows back and forth between them, resulting in unique pieces on which Hammond plates his award-winning dishes. “Plates, to me, are like a blank canvas for an artist,” Hammond says. Hammond visits Dowd’s studio during the design process to give input as to the stylistic details of each piece that she creates. Recently, Hammond requested deep, flat-bottomed pasta bowls from Dowd and joined her in the studio to fine-tune the design. In a moment of inspiration, Hammond reached out to the soft clay and carefully slumped one side in. “It just added the perfect character to the bowl,” Hammond recalls. The stylishly slumped bowls are one of Dowd’s favorite examples of their collaboration.

Dowd’s artistry is showcased on other tables around the area, as well, including the Wild Sage restaurant in the Rusty Parrot Lodge. “My goal for the restaurant is to try and keep things as local as possible while still being world-

class quality,” explains chef Travis Catanzaro. “Jenny’s style fits well with the rustic yet refined feel that we are trying to create here.” Unlike Hammond, however, Catanzaro had a specific dish on the menu that he struggled to find the perfect vessel to serve it in. So Dowd created exactly the plate he was looking for. “We’d been using local wagyu beef from

Circle H Ranch, and the best way we came to sell the brisket was as a macaroni and cheese. At the time, we really didn’t have anything that presented it nicely, so I contacted Jenny,” he explains. Inspired by his vision, Dowd made individual-sized braising pans called staubs. Catanzaro says they were ideal: “They were just more perfect than I ever expected.” More custom requests for the Wild Sage menu followed: pitchers to serve hot soup tableside, ramekins for desserts and, most recently, ceramic bread baskets. Catanzaro treasures his relationship with Dowd and sees many parallels in their efforts. “For us as cooks, we try to produce things that are delicious and consistent, but there is always an individual’s touch to everything we do. It’s the same for Jenny — each piece that she does is a bit different, and I really hope that folks who dine with us recognize that what we do is

LOOKIN’ SHARP

ackson’s New West KnifeWorks (also now found in St. Helena, Calif., and soon in Park City, Utah) is known for making highend knives that use the best materials but also come together to be a functional piece of art. The often colorful handles are made of a lightweight, durable material that is water resistant called G10, which is classified as a “super material.” But more important, they are pretty. A few local restaurants have incorporated the company’s steak knives into place settings to further customize their tables. New West KnifeWorks can laser a logo (or almost anything) into the blade, and Snake River Grill and the Four Seasons have custom ordered their steak knives, making their table settings even more distinct. both craft and art. The training that it takes to produce items of exceptional quality with a distinct touch takes years. It’s really a synergistic partnership.” Across town, Healthy Being Cafe and Juicery serves its tantalizingly vibrant salads in custom bowls from Dowd. “For us, ceramics match the atmosphere of Healthy Being Cafe and Juicery. The process of crafting pottery utilizes natural materials from the earth to set the foundation and one of our most ancient and useful tools, fire, to bring the process full circle. The art of going back to the roots and having an intimate relationship with nature is what we are always striving toward,” explains Hannah Koivu, general manager of the restaurant. “We believe serving our dishes on ceramics gives the customer a unique and wholesome experience,” Koivu says. “The natural hues and texture of Jenny’s pieces combine magically with the vibrancy of the food that we create.” A few blocks away, King Sushi showcases some locally crafted ceramics in its collection too. Potter Shane Barnhart has made an eclectic blend of bowls and serving dishes

that the tiny Japanese-inspired restaurant uses for rolls, sides or soups. “I definitely enjoy working in an Asian style,” Barnhart explains. This inclination leads him to rely on rich earth tones and craft details into his pieces, like chopstick holders. The chefs at King Sushi felt that Barnhart’s distinctive dishes reflect the ambiance of the restaurant. “They have this deeply rustic appeal, which really matches the appeal of the cabin,” says co-owner Kaylan Fullerton. At Cowboy Coffee, your locally roasted beans are served in locally crafted mugs.

Potter Ben Blanton makes a series of colorful mugs all the drinks are served in, and also sells them at the downtown hangout. Blanton even sources the clay from nearby Montana. While custom plates come with a higher price tag than what generic tableware sells for, chefs don’t seem to mind. All are all dishwasher safe and, the chefs say, hold up very well. The custom dishes become more than simple vessels to deliver food; they reinforce the values, philosophies and distinctive personalities of chefs and the menus they present.

Kitchen Views

Jeff and Laura Drew’s Rafter J home recently got a kitchen fit to house the chefs who live there. by Allison Arthur

chef and managing partner of the Snake River Grill, Jeff Drew has access to a large working kitchen with room for any and every thing you need. But until recently, the one he shares at home with his wife, Laura, was outdated and pretty basic. Since buying the home close to 20 years ago, the pair hadn’t done much to remodel it. With their daughter off at college, the couple decided it was time to build their dream kitchen. Both of the trained chefs (the couple met when Jeff was hired as Laura’s line cook in Detroit, Michigan) took an active

role in the project. “It started with a plan to replace the floor (which was a pink tile) but ended up being a major kitchen remodel,” Jeff says. They worked on the plans themselves for about six months and hired architect Shawn Ankeny to pull together the final drafts. Ankeny says their first meeting took place in the old kitchen and they discussed new layout options. Then every time they met after that, more cabinets had been taken down and/or moved around so that the Drews could get a feel for the space. “They were very visual and

I loved working with them.” The snacks Jeff provided sometimes were a perk, too. To make the most of their budget, the rough layout of the kitchen essentials stayed the same so they didn’t have to redo the electrical and plumbing placements. Laura really wanted to get rid of the old cabinets, and Jeff had his heart set on a new large window that can open entirely and create a sense of an indoor/outdoor space.

Laura put a lot of thought into Jeff’s routine, which involves reading The New York Times on Sunday, and created the perfect spot for him to do so: at a built-in banquette with a fireplace. “We love to cook outside,” Jeff says. To make that even easier, they piped natural gas to their outdoor grill so there is no chance of running out of fuel. The entire project took about six months, and while they hired a contractor to do most of the work, the Drews helped with the demo and installed the flooring themselves. Ankeny’s contributions were primarily to refine the alignment, order and general “zen” of things and make the space work within some existing boundaries. Since completing the project last year, Jeff, who is often at Snake River Grill at night, comes home more often for

JEFF AND LAURA picked out the wood for their custom dining table at a farm near Portland, Oregon, where their daughter attends school. They found the colorful fabric for the banquette on houzz.com. They contacted the designer, who had just enough fabric left over from his project to get what they needed upholstered.

dinner. “We are really enjoying the kitchen,” Laura says. Though they don’t generally use it at the same time. “One of us will cook, and one of us will clean,” Jeff says. The layout works well for the empty nesters. Laura put a lot of thought into Jeff’s routine, which involves reading The New York Times on Sunday, and created the perfect spot for him to do so: at a built-in banquette with a fireplace. There is even a water and coffee station nearby so he doesn’t have to go far to get a refill. The hardest part about the project was not living in it but being able to make final decisions. “I easily spent 120 hours looking at pictures over and over again,” Laura says. The fridge and the countertops were the hardest to choose. “We couldn’t make a decision to save our lives.” But now that they have, the couple couldn’t be happier. They love to open the window, “crank up the music and sit on the deck all night.” JEFF DREW’S CORN RELISH USE THIS RELISH ON ANY GRILLED SEAFOOD.

LOCAL LOVE:

This duo of frozen treats from Local combines huckleberries, honey and cheese from the region to create this delicate pairing.

ce cream is always the ultimate summer pleasure. In a cone, blended into a boozy milkshake or on top of warm bread pudding, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to beat an ice cream treat. Luckily, Jackson Hole restaurants are meeting your cravings in creative ways. Try one next time you are in the mood, or better yet, all 10.

DISHINGJH.COM

Local’s Huckleberry Granita and Goat Cheese Semifreddo

At Local, as much of the ingredients they can source regionally, they do. The same is true when it comes to dessert. This frozen treat combines locally sourced (when in season) huckleberries to make the granita and Winter Winds Farm goat cheese to make the semifreddo, and it’s topped off with honeycomb from a regional hive. Even the graham cracker crumble is made inhouse. All combined and you get a refreshingly light but uber flavorful finishing dish to your meal.

Haydens Post’s Chocolate Bread Pudding With Banana Ice Cream

The deck of Haydens Post, overlooking Snow King resort, is a wonderful spot to enjoy a sweet treat this summer. Its decadent, warm dark chocolate bread pudding is cooled down with a scoop of banana ice cream. The fresh banana flavor balances out the chocolate for the perfect yin and yang.

Snake River Grill’s Eskimo Bars

A sophisticated yet nostalgic take on a childhood treat, the Snake River Grill’s Eskimo Bars have become a herald of summertime. A thin, fudge-like brownie made with artisan chocolate and European-style butter is the vehicle for house-made Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream. Cut by hand, each bar is individually dipped in more Scharffenberger chocolate to tie it together. Served with a warm caramel sauce, Eskimo Bars are everything you want on a warm summer evening. And when around 500 Eskimo Bars are produced every week, the Snake River Grill is well-stocked to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Liberty Burger’s The Lebowski Milkshake

Liberty Burger uses frozen vanilla custard to give its milkshakes their signature rich and creamy texture. The Lebowski, a white Russian-inspired shake, includes a generous serving of custard mixed into Patrón XO Cafe, topped with a sprinkle of coffee beans. For a nonalcoholic version, order the Nutella Graham, which mixes custard with scoops of Nutella and graham cracker crumbles. Grab your shake to go and enjoy on the Town Square.

Westbank Grill’s Strawberry Cherry Pistachio Parfait

Don’t miss this summer’s ice cream sundae at the Westbank Grill, the Four Season’s fine dining restaurant. Composed of crème fraiche semifreddo, oven-roasted strawberries, cherry granité, pistachio meringue and chocolate accents, this beautiful dessert is Marie Antoinette-level decadent. Sit by the window and order yours while gazing up at Rendezvous Mountain.

Bin22 and Bodega’s Mini Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

Fine Dining Restaurant Group launched its own ice cream company, Cream and Sugar, to satisfy the demands of its diners who begged to take home its popular ice cream sandwiches. The flavors rotate seasonally, with both ice cream and cookies made from scratch. All ice cream flavors are sandwiched between mini chocolate chip cookies and rolled in different sprinkles, depending on the flavor you choose. Several flavors are now available to purchase at grocery stores across town (Lucky’s, Aspens Market and Jackson Whole Grocer), but you can only get summer’s signature flavor, huckleberry, at Fine Dining’s Bin22 and Bodega.

Victor Emporium’s Huckleberry Milkshake

Victor Emporium, a quirky small-town shop in Victor, Idaho, serves up some of the greatest milkshakes in the area. About an hourlong scenic drive from Jackson, the emporium sells souvenirs and fly-fishing supplies in the front, with an oldschool soda fountain in the back. Grab a seat next to the mural of a trout and bear sharing a milkshake and order the huckleberry shake, which comes with a straw wide enough for the locally foraged berries to pass through.

The Blue Lion’s Mud Pie

At The Blue Lion, fans of a traditional mud pie are in for a treat. This dessert has been on the menu for more than 20 years and is so popular that it never comes off. An Oreo crust is topped with locally made Moo’s espresso ice cream and a thick layer of fudge. The pie is finished with whipped cream and toasted almonds. Diners rarely leave more than a few crumbs on the plate.

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

Copper Bar’s Apfel Strudel à la Mode

Copper Bar carries on the legacy of some of Jackson Hole’s most beloved dishes, serving the apple strudel (or Apfel Strudel, in German) that the previous owner, Peter Stiegler (when the restaurant was Stiegler’s), made for 33 years. It is wrapped in a thin phyllo crust and served alongside a vanilla rum sauce. The restaurant commissioned a local ice cream maker to come up with a flavor that would pair perfectly with the dessert; Moo’s makes a unique apple-cinnamon vanilla ice cream to top the classic apfel strudel.

CocoLove’s Gelato Macaron Sandwich

Atelier Ortega and CocoLove, under the helm of master chocolatier and pastry chef Oscar Ortega, are home to Jackson’s most exquisite desserts. This summer, try their macaron gelato sandwich. Light and crisp macaron cookies hold together a creamy scoop of gelato in two delectable flavors: hazelnut praline with chocolate macaron, and coconut yuzu gelato with pistachio macaron, each of which is so refreshing on a hot summer day. Perfectly simple gelato popsicles — vanilla gelato coated in dark chocolate, and chocolate gelato coated in milk chocolate — are also available.

POTLUCK OF THE DRAW IF YOU MUST GO TO A POTLUCK, HERE ARE SOME GROUND “RULES.”

I L L U S T R AT I O N B Y A D A M L A R K U M

f you have lived in Jackson for any amount of time, it is almost certain that you have been to a potluck meal of some kind. Whether it is a “Friendsgiving,” or just a 20-something birthday in some SKID’s kitchen filled with loose weed and empty PBR cans, I’m sure most Jackson residents have at some point underwhelmed a room of people with whatever they decided to bring to a potluck. I know I have. Back when I was legally allowed to purchase alcohol, I would just bring wine. It’s popular, easily transportable and, most important, requires no effort at all. Also, to put it bluntly, I cannot

cook and I’m lazy . . . which makes me a very desirable marriage candidate, as you can imagine. And trust me, those are real facts. Bearing all this in mind, I’m not going to subject my friends to something that they don’t want to eat created via an act that I didn’t want to do just for the sake of contributing to a potluck. It’s a waste of everyone’s time and energy. So alcohol is always a safe option. You’re not going to blow anyone’s mind, but does anyone really expect that at a potluck? It will expose you as effort-averse, like I am, but you can’t be good at everything. And your friends are probably well aware of your

shortcomings already. Sadly, alcohol is no longer an option for me. The state of Wyoming was like, “Homegirl, no. You have worn out your welcome in our liquor stores.” In their defense, that decision was made in everyone’s best interest. So what am I supposed to bring to a potluck now that wine is off the table? This brings me to this column’s “etiquette” lesson. The do’s and don’ts of potlucks. While researching the topic, I discovered that some people had very strong feelings on the subject. You’re probably thinking, “Strong feelings about potlucks? Really?” Me too. Anyway, here goes:

DISHINGJH.COM

1. Know your audience I talked to someone who told me she was invited to dinners at the home of a guy who “only serves $100 bottles of wine.” OK. And while this dinner party is more than likely catered, rather than a potluck, most people don’t want to show up empty-handed. So, here is how a guest should approach the situation. Unless you are also rich, don’t bring wine. While Barefoot and Cupcake were perfectly acceptable to my unsophisticated palate, here they’re going to be out of their league. When there’s fancy shit around, even a $20 contribution will just sit there uncorked and unappreciated. And when you leave, the host will give it to his maid . . . and she’ll use it to clean the bathroom or something. That leaves us with my best suggestion: a package of cookies from Persephone Bakery. Voilà, problem solved. 2. If you are the host, be prepared to do some work I know, I thought potlucks were invented so the host would not be put out financially or burdened by hours of cooking. (Read: for lazy people.) But if you agree to host, just know that you are still going to be stuck with people to serve, dishes to wash and your house to clean. That is why I am not a huge fan of potlucks. They rarely end up fulfilling their one purpose — to save money and time. I have — surprisingly — hosted two or three in my day, and every time, I was immediately regretful. If you are the host, know what you are signing up for. 3. Learn how to make one thing Just one dish that is mildly interesting. That’s it. If I can do it, you can, too. When I outgrew showing up with Whole Grocer takeout, I got my unwilling ass into the kitchen and figured something out. It is essentially just a caprese salad stuck on pieces of butter lettuce with sliced avocado. Now I make it whenever I need to bring something. And as one host-

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

with-the-most exclaimed when I showed up to his potluck with my creation in hand, “It’s not liked she cooked. She just arranged stuff on a platter.” Uh, thanks . . . I think?

I KNOW, I THOUGHT POTLUCKS WERE INVENTED SO THE HOST WOULD NOT BE PUT OUT FINANCIALLY OR BURDENED BY HOURS OF COOKING. BUT IF YOU AGREE TO HOST, JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARE STILL GOING TO BE STUCK WITH PEOPLE TO SERVE, DISHES TO WASH AND YOUR HOUSE TO CLEAN.

4. There’s a time and a place If you are at a place in your life where you have a house in Jackson, a kitchen and somewhere to actually entertain people, just have a dinner party. Maybe I have been to the wrong ones, but I associate potlucks with the aforementioned 20-something birthday SKID kitchen scenario. There’s a pot of chili, maybe some cheese and crackers, a storebought crudité platter with a dip that is 99.5 percent mayonnaise, some crusty pot brownies and, of course, PBR and bottomshelf whiskey. That is all fine for someone working as a liftie who is turning 24. I’m 33, and I have life insurance and a mortgage. Sometimes it’s time to do better than that. 5. All this being said, don’t take anything too seriously My boyfriend once told me about attending potlucks with his ex-girlfriend and her friends. “It was competitive,” he said. “They wouldn’t call it that, but showing up with chips and salsa was not OK. You didn’t want to be that guy.” Lady, you’re scaring me. It’s not like any of the “rules” I have just written about are real. It’s just a potluck, and it’s just food. Take it down a notch. If I were invited to one of her potlucks, I’d show up with . . . a warm glass of shut the hell up. (Yes, I did just reference Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore in the same paragraph.) Simply by writing this column, I have put way more thought into potluck meals than I ever imagined I would. There are more “rules” I could mention — like don’t bring the cheap wine then drink all the nice wine; that’s rude — but I think I’ve exceeded my word limit. Don’t bother inviting me to your next potluck. I probably won’t come, but if I do, you know what I will be “cooking.”

Will Travel For Food Big Fun on the Big Island Here’s how to spend a week on Hawaii’s largest island. By Cara Rank Photos by Allison Arthur

family wasn’t the type who went to Hawaii. The flight is too long. A hamburger costs $20. Then, there was that thing that happened in 1975. It was a story I’d heard often, and it goes like this: My parents woke up in the middle of the night to their hotel swaying back and forth (earthquake). My mom looked out the window to find the water had receded from Hilo Bay (tsunami). They were evacuated to a nearby high point on a golf course to wait for the water to reach the Aleutian Islands and return. During the middle of the night, my mom glanced at the volcano and noticed lava spewing from its top (eruption).

This all happened a few days after my dad stepped on a jellyfish. So we became a Caribbean family. Yet I’ve always been pulled to Hawaii. I imagined myself hiking through dense green vegetation and over black lava rock to swim in clear pools under waterfalls. I decided to take my chances last year and head to the Island of Hawaii. As it turns out, there aren’t enough hours

in a week to fit in everything on the Big Island. The island of Hawaii is the youngest and largest in the Hawaiian island chain. You can travel through all but two of the world’s 13 climate zones (think snorkeling in the morning and skiing in the afternoon). Even though the island is the biggest in the chain (it’s nearly twice as big as all the other Hawaiian Islands

combined) it’s still small enough that you can drive its circumference in a day. Dishing spent a week driving around the island, stopping along the way to eat, take in the scenery and indulge our adventurous side. We were too busy eating poke to find a $20 hamburger, and the only natural disaster we encountered was a false alarm.

Day 1 7 a.m. Stroll the lushly manicured grounds of the Sheraton Kona Resort at Keauhou Bay to work up an appetite for a waterfront

breakfast at Rays on the Bay. Located on the iconic lava rocks of the Kona Coast, the landscaped grounds were once the birthplace and playgrounds of Hawaiian kings. This longtime resort overlooks Keauhou Bay, six miles south of Kona, and is the only resort hotel south of the resort area along the Kohala Coast. 10 a.m. Grab lounge chairs at the oceanfront pool and spend the day in the sun — and

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

taking multiple trips down the resort’s 200foot waterslide. Hungry? No need to wander far; just eat lunch at the poolside bar. 6 p.m. Sip a Raystini (vodka, lychee liquor, grapefruit and lemon soda) at the newly renovated Rays, which features live local musicians, showy sunsets and plenty of crashing waves. Come earlier for a nightly talk at the restaurant’s Manta Learning Center, then view manta rays from a nearby point. (For more adventure, try a nighttime manta ray snorkel.) 8 p.m. Head to downtown Kona for

dinner at Huggo’s on the Rocks, a familyowned restaurant since 1969 (or come earlier for the spectacular harbor views and sunsets). In this open-air restaurant, feast on freshly caught seafood, guava-braised baby back ribs and authentic tiki cocktails.

Day 2 9 a.m. Depart the Sheraton for a scenic drive

to Hilo along the southern coast of the island via the Mämalahoa Highway. Keep your eyes peeled for signs advertising fresh potato chips, pull over and pop into Kona Potato Chips. The family-run business has been frying up its chips since the 1940s. Grab a few bags of the furikake flavor (a seasoning of dried fish, sesame seeds and chopped seaweed) for snacking. Noon Stop for lunch in Naalehu, where you’ll find several mom-and-pop shops along the road selling anything from oysters to burgers to tacos. Pick whatever suits your mood, and then order dessert from Punalu’u Bake Shop, the southernmost bakery in the country. They’re famous for their malasadas — fried doughnuts filled with jellies and custards. While you’re there, pick up a loaf of Hawaiian sweetbread (the shop is famous for that, too) for meals later in the week. 1:30 p.m. Take a short detour to Punalu’u Black Sand Beach to dip your toes in the water and watch endangered hawksbill and green turtles bask in the sun. This is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaii, with jet black shores fringed with coconut palms. (This is also a great lunch and picnic spot for to-go malasadas.) 3 p.m. Check into Grand Naniloa Hotel in downtown Hilo, the largest town on Hawaii and the second largest in the state, next to Honolulu. Chances are it might be raining; the geographic opposite of the volcanic Kohala Coast, Hilo receives more than 130 inches of rainfall a year. Don’t let a little rain get you down. Sip a mai tai and play cards in the lobby before dinner. 7 p.m. Make reservations at Moon and Turtle, the passion project of husband-andwife team Mark and Soni Pomaski. Mark, who was born in Hilo, was a chef at New York’s Nobu Fifty Seven before returning home and opening the restaurant with his wife. GO BIG:

Fly into Kona and stay at the Sheraton Kona Resort at Keauhou Bay. It is on the edge of the ocean and just far enough away from town to feel removed but with easy access to the area.

GRAND NANILOA RESORT SIGNATURE MAI TAI 1 ounce light rum 1 ounce orange curaçao 1 ounce orgeat syrup 1.5 ounce pineapple juice 2 ounces Bone Daddy’s sour mix .5 Lahaina dark rum Squeeze of fresh lime and pineapple wedge for garnish > Shake all ingredients (except the garnish) in a cocktail shaker, then pour in a glass over ice. Add desired garnish.

MOON AND TURTLE PROBIOTIC CHILI PEPPER WATER 30 grams kosher salt 1 liter water 5 ounces peeled garlic cloves 5 ounces sweet onion 5 ounces Hawaiian chili peppers (Thai bird or any other chili pepper may be substituted) > Dissolve salt into water to make a brine. Using a large French press or a clean container and pickle weights, cover the remaining ingredients with the brine, making sure all vegetables are completely submerged. Let sit at room temperature at least 4 days, checking periodically to release built-up gas bubbles. Begin tasting the brine for tartness after 4 days, and keep at resting room temp until desired tartness is achieved. Use a high-powered blender to puree the vegetable solids along with the brine, then strain through a fine strainer or coffee filter. Refrigerate. The chili, garlic and onion pulp can be saved to make chili paste or other recipes.

HELLO HILO:

Find fun açai bowls and avocado-laced sandwiches in town, before you head to Puakea Ranch to swing into the sunset.

Moon and Turtle seems to be at the helm of a burgeoning food scene, fueled by a handful of chef-driven restaurants. Mark focuses on “high and low,” constantly changing the menu and playing with the intersection between humble soul food and avant-garde cuisine. A staple is the smoked sashimi, seasoned with his housemade probiotic Hawaiian chili water and soy smoked with kiawe (Hawaiian mesquite). Mark also makes a bolognese that utilizes the wild boar that run rampant and wreak havoc on local farms. Don’t miss the cocktail list, which Soni artfully curates herself, using herbs from the garden out back.

Day 3 9 a.m. Bring an empty backpack to the colorful Hilo Farmers Market to stock up for tonight’s dinner. Keep your eyes peeled for a spiky red fruit — rambutan — and ask the vendor to show you how to break into these sweet, tart treats.

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

10 a.m. Walk to Rainbow Falls, minutes from downtown. On sunny days, rainbows appear in the mist of the 80-foot falls. The broad waterfall — nearly 100 feet in diameter — plunges over a natural lava cave and into the river below. Noon Drop by the tiny Poke Market to buy some fresh poke for the centerpiece of tonight’s dinner (don’t forget a travel cooler). Owners Ernie Gray Jr. and Mariah Williams (also husband and wife) create designer poke bowls and sushi cakes behind the small counter. It’s like stumbling on a hidden gem, and judging from the offerings, this should be a stop early in the day. Because when it’s gone, it’s gone.

12:15 p.m. Break for lunch at Makani’s Magic Pineapple Shack, opened by another Hilo native, Lokelani Wentzel, who moved back home from New York City with a nutrition degree and an idea to serve authentic açai bowls. Order a giant açai pineapple bowl, covered in fruit, and a monster avocado sandwich to share before hitting the road. 1 p.m. Take the scenic Hamakua Heritage Corridor from Hilo to Waipio Valley Lookout. During most of the 19th and 20th centuries, the Hamakua Coast was covered with sugar cane. Today, small communities dotting the route can still be found where small farmers grow taro, hearts of palm, vegetables and tropical fruit. Watch for deep, water-carved gulches, thick with tropical foliage and vistas of the Pacific. At the end of the journey is the Waipio Valley, where a lookout affords you the chance to savor a stunning panoramic view. Near Waimea, keep an eye out for the Kamuela Liquor Store, which, from the outside, doesn’t seem like much, but inside you’ll find a superb wine selection. Grab a few bottles for the night. 4 p.m. Arrive at Puakea Ranch with no plans but to make dinner from all the farmers

market finds. Get some sun at the private pool, read a book on the shady hammock or take a long bath in a redwood tub (in a stand-alone private bathhouse). Once a sugar cane farm and cattle ranch, this enchanting property near Hawi is full of history. The four vintage bungalows date to the 1940s (some even earlier) but offer ocean views and modern luxuries after being renovated in the past few years. Horses, cows and goats roam the property. Chickens lay eggs that are free for the taking. The garden offers fresh vegetables and herbs for guests.

Day 4 8 a.m. After waking up with the roosters on the ranch, drive to the Pololü Valley lookout and trailhead in North Kohala. Park in the small parking lot that is literally at the end of the road and take in the inspiring view of verdant cliffs and the dramatic northeastern coastline. It’s one of the most spectacular views on the island. The more adventurous can take a 25-minute hike down to the valley floor and the black sand beach (swimming is discouraged because of strong currents). 10 a.m. Not far from the lookout is the meeting point for the Kohala Zipline canopy tour. The aerial trekking course zooms through the treetops above Halawa Gulch. Certified guides lead adventure seekers through nine zip lines, five sky bridges and a rappel, all set among a towering forest on a private nature reserve. On a clear day, the views span all the

way to Maui, as guests soar from tree to tree at speeds up to 45 mph. 1 p.m. Hawi offers options for lunch, but it’s worth driving south to Puako for authentic, justmade poke at Hale I’a Da Fish House, where the fish is prepared minutes after fishermen bring it up from Kawaihae Harbor, one block away. Try the Sunrise, with sriracha, mayo, green onions, unagi sauce or the wasabi macadamia nut. For grilled fish and macaroni salad, order a meal from the Da Fish Lunch Wagon out front. 2 p.m. With a full belly and a full morning of adventure, it’s time to relax. There’s no better place to do that than the Fairmont Orchid, in the heart of the big Hawaiian resorts dotting the Kohala Coast. Situated on 32 oceanfront acres, the resort offers everything one would expect: a gorgeous outdoor spa, six restaurants, a beach club, golf and more. Book the exclusive Fairmont Gold floor for VIP amenities like a private lounge for breakfast, afternoon tea and evening happy hour. Grab a glass of wine from the honor bar and take it to the beach for the sunset. 7 p.m. After it gets dark, sit under the twinkling lights at Brown’s Beach House for quintessential island fine dining steps away from the beach. Start the meal with poke (a person can never order too much of it in Hawaii) because Brown’s lets diners prepare it to taste tableside. Seasoned and topped with puffed rice and seaweed, it’s served with a side of togarashi, furikake and sea salt. The simple Waimea garden salad is light and refreshing, and it highlights produce from nearby farms. Don’t miss the mahi mahi, which comes with a side of the seasonal mac and cheese — a decadent counterpoint to the Broccolini it’s served with.

Day 5 EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY:

Merriman’s is known for using almost all local ingredients in its dishes, like this poke and even in the cocktails. Enjoy a fruit plate from the Fairmont Orchid.

8 a.m. Take advantage of all the amenities at the Fairmont, starting the day with “Floyo,” paddleboard yoga in the resort’s mellow lagoon. After the class, pick up complimentary bikes and pedal the lava footpaths from the resort past ancient lava cave dwellings, DISHINGJH.COM

pictorial petroglyphs and fishponds along oceanfront trails. Once back to the Fairmont, grab snorkel gear from the beach shack and cool off in the lagoon while viewing dozens of types of sea life. Noon A full morning of activity will likely lead to a hearty appetite that only lunch at Merriman’s can satiate. The restaurant is credited with starting the Hawaiian regional cuisine movement. Chef Peter Merriman, known as the original locavore, dreams up a constantly changing menu that utilizes ingredients from neighboring farmers, ranchers and fishermen. In fact, 90 percent of the menu is local. Nosh on a salad of Waimea-grown tomatoes and avocado (the island boasts 18 varieties). Then, look for whatever is seasonal. It could be that a farmer dropped off five pounds of snap peas that the chef is featuring for one day only. After lunch, you can stop by the Waimea farmers market to pick up provisions for a light dinner. 3 p.m. Check into Wai’ula’ula at Mauna Kea Resort, a luxury villa rental along the Kohala Coast. Owned by winemaker Michael Mondavi, the villa has a gourmet kitchen, making it a dream for staying in and cooking meals with fresh island produce. Golfers will be happy with the golf course location. Pocket sliding doors expand the living room and connect it with the spacious lanai, where barbecuing is a must while watching the sun set over the ocean. Here, enjoy all the benefits of the Mauna Kea Resort: two championship golf courses, tennis courts, hotel pool and beach service and two spas, along with two fitness centers, fitness classes and water sports. Lucky guests might even receive a shipment of wine from Mondavi himself.

Day 6 7:30 a.m. There is no better way to experience the island than from the air. Paradise Helicopters offers a Circle

Island Experience, which circumnavigates the island. In two hours, fly over the Kona coffee district and slopes of Mauna Loa to the southernmost town in the U.S., Punalu’u. From here, spot Papakōlea — one of only four green sand beaches in the world. Fly over lava flow activity at K lauea Crater. Then, the chopper flies east over lush vegetation and waterfalls, finishing with the rugged coastline and Kohala valleys and white sand beaches. 11 a.m. It’s time for one last poke bowl before departing Hawaii, and the only place to get it is Da Poke Shack. This hole-in-thewall lunch spot is considered a must-stop in Kailua-Kona, and it’s consistently ranked as having some of the best poke in the world. The restaurant buys its fish from local fishermen, and it is immediately prepared, never frozen. Get there early and there won’t be any lines and still enough of a selection to have your pick from eight varieties. Since there are no seats in the restaurant, take your poke outside to the beach and watch the surfers catch waves. 1 p.m. It’s beach time, and the best beach on the island has to be in front of the Mauna Kea resort. Kauna’oa Bay is one of the few white sand beaches on the Kohala Coast. The shape and terrain of the bay make it a mellow place for relaxing, swimming and paddleboarding. On many days, this place is as calm as a pool. Order a Frederico — the drink is so famous, it even has its own website. 5 p.m. Make it an early night with cocktails and dinner at Lava Lava Beach Club. Going early is mandatory to snag a beachside table for the sunset on Anaeho’omalu Bay while playing a few rounds of cornhole. Don’t worry if there’s a long wait — just grab a beer and walk along the beach. Chow down on island-style pupus like coconut shrimp and calamari. Share the pineapple fried rice, and finish with the coconut cake. This fun beachfront venue features nightly live music and a vibrant atmosphere.
