Q: WHO ELSE IS EXCITED TO EAT PASTA THIS WINTER? EDITOR allison@dishingmagazine.com Allison Arthur
Me!!! I almost never cook it in the summer, but in the winter a favorite mac and cheese recipe from an old magazine is a regular in our house. Find Café Genevieve’s recipe at dishingjh.com.

I love the gnocchi at Wild Sage. The combination of mustard, hazelnuts and Broccolini makes a great, full-flavor comfort food for the colder days.
Ashley Merritt Gisele Olson Carrie Patterson Sam Simma
The ricotta cavatelli at Glorietta is an unbeatable blend of textures and flavors. The homemade pasta elevates all of their pasta dishes.

What We Crave
Wilson Custom Cakes and Cookies made this Dishing cake for an upcoming story.
I HAVE A FRIEND WHO LAUGHS when I say that winter is only six months long in Jackson. She is cold all the time and prefers summer, which she thinks is too short. While she revels in 90-degree days, I crave cross-country skiing with the dogs or skating with my friends, followed by spiked hot chocolate and big bowls of pasta and stews. I am just fine with three months of hot weather followed by a colorful fall and fireside dining for the rest of the year. Plus, there is evening entertainment almost every weekend of the winter at Moose Hockey games. Dishing contributor (and my husband) Brian Upesleja refuses to give up his reign as team captain, so you will find us there most weekends. Speaking of fireplaces, they are one of our winter cravings. Don’t miss warming up in the lobby of the Four Seasons while you wait for a table at The Handle Bar. The warmth from Wild Sage’s fireplace can be felt from almost any table. And on a cold day, take a drive up to Amangani and have a drink by one of two fireplaces with a view. At après, the Mangy Moose and Spur can both keep you full and warm you up. We also look forward to winter for heartier breakfasts. Grab a chicken biscuit from Rations or a breakfast burrito from Southcable Cafe pre-skiing. We love, too, the healthy but satisfying options like toast at Healthy Being. And Persephone’s new west bank outpost makes life on the way to Teton Village even easier! Another bonus of winter: Shorter days mean you don’t feel bad grabbing takeout and hitting the hay on the early side. Our favorites include all the ethnic options in town. Curry from Everest Momo Shack, pho from The Phoenix and the Dragon (they also do a discount on takeout!) or a Korean barbecue feast from Bapp top the list. So, there you have it. Lots of good reasons to love our arguably longer winter. And hey, if you are really that cold, go warm up in the infrared sauna at Simply Health!

to the profession naturally since her grandfather is also an author. She writes about the food scene for Dishing and other local magazines around town. Being from Jackson, tell us about how you have seen the food scene here evolve and what are some of the advantages of that? By far the biggest change is the increased diversity of cuisines around the valley. I love that everything from amazing sushi to falafel, from pad Thai to tacos is available in Jackson — that really used to be a luxury reserved for trips to cities! Any place you miss from childhood? I miss Anthony’s! It was this wonderful Italian spot on South Glenwood, and I have the most vivid memories of sharing fettuccine Alfredo and eggplant Parmesan with my grandmother before going to see plays at the Pink Garter Theatre. I also remember Vista Grande very fondly — it was a relaxed Mexican restaurant next to Calico. That was definitely one of my family’s favorite places when I was growing up. How about a favorite new spot? With a toddler and a new baby, I can’t say that I’m out at the newest spots very often these days. But when we do go out, my favorite places are Snake River Grill and Rendezvous Bistro. The food is always wonderful, and the staff is
exceptional in both places. They’re welcoming to families, and still present excellent and creative dishes — that can be a tough balance to strike, and I really appreciate that they’re both able to pull it off. In this issue you wrote about The Bunnery in our Jackson Classic. What’s the most interesting thing you learned about the restaurant? The best part of researching this article was getting to know Gerard, the owner. He has an astounding background in wine and hospitality, and I really enjoyed hearing about how he implements his expertise to make The Bunnery a special place. And he really could not be any friendlier! Do you have a favorite dish there? My favorite thing on the menu is definitely the coffee cake, so I was thrilled that they were willing to share the recipe for this edition of the magazine. I remember eating it alongside scrambled eggs as a little kid, and honestly, a bite of it now brings me right back there. My twoyear-old daughter loves it, too, so it feels special to get to share that experience with her. We are featuring wings in our Five Ways column. Do you have a favorite in town, and, if so, what do you love about them? When I’m craving wings, I head to Snake River Brewery. They take the classic approach: crispy, juicy wings with zingy Buffalo sauce. And hold the ranch — blue cheese dressing is the only acceptable dipping sauce for wings. With a cold Jenny Lake Lager, SRB does them just right!

Fondue THE ALPENHOF HAS BEEN STIRRING UP THIS EUROPEAN SPECIALTY IN TETON VILLAGE FOR MANY YEARS.
THE BASICS DIP INTO THE HISTORY:
A
ACCORDING TO THE EXPERTS AT THE ALPENHOF, GOOD FONDUE IS RELIANT ON A COUPLE OF THINGS: AUTHENTIC INGREDIENTS AND PATIENCE. “It has to be made with love,” says Ann Johnson, who along with her husband, Mark, has been running the Teton Village inn and restaurant for more than a decade. The Alpenhof was first opened by a Swiss and German couple in 1965 (the same year Jackson Hole Mountain Resort opened). When the Johnsons took over, they changed the menu to reflect the European décor and atmosphere, and added dishes like schnitzel and fondue to the menu. Ever since, the après ski crowd flocks to the venue for classic cheese fondue. Serving up to 50 pots of fondue on a busy day, the eatery’s cooks have to have the recipe and method down pat. To find the perfect combination, the Johnsons looked up classic Swiss recipes and were able to secure authentic cheeses and Bavarian-style sausage to serve alongside it. Follow their tips, tricks and recipes if you want to try this decadent dish at home.
28 D I S H I N G J H . C O M
Fondue originated in Switzerland during the 18th century as a creative way to use aging cheeses and breads during the winter, when there was limited access to fresh food. The melted cheese would make the stale bread softer and thus reduce waste. The dish became more commonplace during the 1930s when the Swiss Cheese Union ran a marketing campaign designed to increase cheese consumption. The word “fondue” comes from the French word “fondre,” which means “to melt,” and has since been used to reference many other types of fondue including those utilizing meats, chicken, seafood and chocolate.
Start with hand-grated cheese, which will melt more easily than cubed. Keep the heat on medium. You don’t want the flames from the heat coming up the sides of the pot. Look for a specific consistency to the cheese mixture to know when it’s done. You want it to look creamy and homogeneous, not greasy and broken or too thick. Stir, stir and stir some more. Fondue can’t be rushed or it will burn. “It knows when you don’t make it with love,” says Ann. Feel free to adjust the recipe to your taste or substitute other semi-firm, meltable cheeses.

Jackson Classic: The Bunnery
OVER FOUR
by Melissa Thomasma photos by Jay Nel-McIntosh
decades ago,
in one of Jackson Hole’s original tiny log cabins, a local culinary legend began. Tucked into what was formerly a blacksmith’s shop, The Bunnery’s origins and vision were simple: craft irresistible baked goods with only the best ingredients. Founded by Laurel “Bru” Wicks, the bakery’s original name was “Bru’s Buns & Breads,” and beginning on St. Patrick’s Day of 1975, the business began offering hot coffee and a small array of baked goods. Locals and visitors alike adored the loaves and pastries, often for the same reasons: The bakery’s offerings were not only consistently delicious, but they also provided high-quality sustenance for the day ahead, whether that included skiing first tracks in fresh powder, summiting a Teton peak or shopping during a busy afternoon in town. The Bunnery has grown since those humble beginnings, and eventually Wicks traded in the diminutive Coe Blacksmith cabin — home to King Sushi today — for a more spacious restaurant a halfblock from the Town Square. But what’s more important is what the eatery hasn’t left behind: hearty, satisfying breakfasts, lunches and baked goods that fuel the days of busy locals and energized visitors.
DISHINGJH.COM
33
THE BUNNERY’S COFFEE CAKE For the cake: 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup white sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 egg
2/3 cup buttermilk 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda For the topping: 3/4 cup pecans, chopped 1 teaspoon cinnamon > Heat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugars, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and butter until crumbly, reserving 2/3 cup for the topping.
Place reserved mixture in a small bowl and add pecans and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix well. Add the remaining ingredients to the mixture in the large bowl and beat until blended. Pour batter into a well-greased 9-inch baking pan, sprinkle with reserved topping, and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool before cutting.
Fast forward to 1989, when Gerard Yvernault was visiting Jackson Hole on a fishing trip. One morning, he and his son noticed the line of hungry diners waiting for seats at the restaurant, and they decided that was an excellent indicator of the best breakfast spot in town. On his way in the door, Yvernault saw the “For Sale” sign — an opportunity on which he was quick to pounce. Jackson Hole held a special place in Yvernault’s heart long before he bought The Bunnery. The Paris native had visited multiple times, largely with his eye on catching cutthroat trout in the Snake River. But after each trip, he would pack up and return to New York City, leaving the beauty of the Tetons and the cozy town of Jackson behind. With a background including studies at the Lausanne School of Hotel Management in Switzerland and a sweeping amount of expertise in the wine business, Yvernault was well prepared to step into the small-town restaurant and see its big potential. “When we bought it, the restaurant was in a difficult spot as far as the equipment went,” he recalls. Driven by his own passion, and
with the support of his family, he was able to replace the appliances that were ailing and upgrade the restaurant all around. Today, The Bunnery is still one of the most popular breakfast spots in Jackson Hole — on any given morning, the line of diners waiting for tables often extends to the boardwalk that lines North Cache Street. And the atmosphere is just as it was 20 years ago: warm and welcoming, casual, and brimming with the sounds of cheerful diners and the smells of freshly baked pastries. The restaurant’s ambiance is deeply comfortable, with a relaxed simplicity and genuineness that reflects the offerings on its

GOOD TO GO:

large menu. For breakfast, the choices range from house-blended granola or perfectly sweetened pancakes to mouth-watering muffins, coffee cakes and other pastries to hearty, protein- and veggie-packed egg dishes. Later in the day, The Bunnery offers a tantalizing array of locally sourced beef or buffalo burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads to enjoy alongside a glass of wine or local microbrew. For a sweet finish, the bakery reliably boasts a tantalizing lineup of from-scratch cakes, fruit pies, cupcakes and cookies. The menu doesn’t vary much between seasons, or from year to year, but that’s intentional — once you discover your Bunnery favorite, you’re guaranteed to find it again on your next visit, whether that’s next week or on your next vacation to Jackson. “It’s all about the dedication to this place,” Yvernault says. And he doesn’t just mean the restaurant as a location, either. “The restaurant business is about talking and connecting to people. What makes this restaurant truly successful is the people who are working here, too.” Similarly, dedication to excellence and a caring restaurant culture are the factors that General Manager Shauna DuPont says are largely responsible for The Bunnery’s lasting success. “Since I grew up here, I’ve
36 D I S H I N G J H . C O M
been eating at The Bunnery my whole life! I have so many fond memories of eating here as a kid — I would always have the vegetable soup.” The recipe for that soup, she says, as well as the staff preparing it, have been the same for upwards of 25 years. The menu doesn’t change much, and the team of people behind it doesn’t change much, either. It’s this consistency, DuPont says, that allows for a motivated and happy work environment and, in turn, excellent dishes and customer experiences. “Our service is fast and very friendly,” she says. “That’s key. We’re happy to be here, so our staff is very friendly when interacting with customers.” And there’s never a rush to wolf down your meal to make room for the next table, she says. “We have die-hard daily and weekly customers, some of whom conduct regular business meetings here. They know that they’ll get great service, very accommodating, and nobody is going to rush them out the door.” The restaurant’s earliest roots were in the creation of not just delicious but healthy items that could fuel the mountain lifestyle. And this vision remains at the eatery’s core. Yvernault amplified the focus on healthy, high-quality ingredients in all of The Bunnery’s offerings. Famous for their O.S.M. product line — which stands for and contains oatmeal, sunflower seed and millet — the breads, cereals and pancakes are hearty and delicious, boasting whole grains that make them both satisfying and filling without being overwhelming. Since The Bunnery’s first days in the old blacksmith shop, the vision has endured: excellent, nutritious food in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. “The ingredients aren’t complicated — everything on the menu is wholesome and consistent,” explains DuPont. “Nothing comes out of a can. We make everything right here.” Like Yvernault, she’s proud of the fact that the menu at the bakery and restaurant has remained so steadfast over the decades. She and Yvernault deeply value the fact that visitors and locals alike can return to the restaurant with confidence that their favorite items won’t have seasonally migrated off the menu. Over the past decade, The Bunnery has expanded into packaged versions of its signature O.S.M. items, which are now distributed regionally and can be shipped anywhere across the nation. A diversity of pancake and waffle mixes along with granola and oatmeal are available, and, according to Yvernault, their popularity is only growing as more people visit the restaurant. So while it might not be possible to carry a stack of fresh pancakes on the plane ride home, Yvernault has made it simple to re-create a delectable slice of a Bunnery classic in your own kitchen.

OSTERIA’S BLUE CHEESE WING DIP 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles 2 tablespoons cotija cheese 2 tablespoons scallions, sliced 1 tablespoon sour cream 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon salt > Blend all ingredients together in a blender or Vitamix and serve.
SAU C E IT UP
Sauce is always a big factor with wings, and it’s hard to beat the blue cheese blend from Osteria. They shared the recipe so you can try your hand at making it at home.

Order a few of the sweet chile or the sesame ginger for those who like them mild, but the standard Buffalo sauce is always an option for those who like them hot. You even get to choose from ranch or blue cheese for dipping. Pair with: A muddled margarita, which is always a favorite with orange and lime mixed in. Don’t miss: Monday night football specials where you can find $2 off margaritas and 50-cent wings (as well as $3 domestics) during any NFL game.

In the Kitchen with Bapp
Kim Degman first arrived in Wyoming in 2003 to work at Dornan’s for the summer on an exchange program from South Korea, she was a little scared and quite disappointed. Coming from the huge city of Seoul to such a remote place was a major culture shock. She also didn’t speak much English. An ambitious college student studying computer science, she wanted to learn to speak English to up her chances of getting a job at Samsung when she graduated. Having lived a fairly sheltered life, and only attending allwomen’s schools, being here around all sorts of people from all over the world was a huge change. But before long, she was in love — both with Jackson Hole and with her nowhusband, Matt Degman. We wanted to find out more about her journey to opening her Korean restaurant, Bapp, near the Town Square.

HOW DID YOU TURN THE CORNER FROM BEING AN AFRAID COLLEGE STUDENT COMMITTED TO HEADING BACK HOME, TO HAVING DREAMS OF LIVING IN JACKSON HOLE FORVER?
After a month of being here, I opened my mind to the environment. I had the best time of my life. Meeting people from all over the world really opened my eyes. Everybody was so nice and I was exposed to so much culture. I loved the food. I ate a whole pizza almost every night. WHEN YOU FIRST MET MATT, YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE QUITE SHY AND SCARED TO EVEN LOOK AT HIM. HOW DID THAT RELATIONSHIP EVOLVE?
At first we didn’t really talk … but he became my first (and last) boyfriend. After four months I had to go back to Korea. It was the saddest day of my life, but I called him every day three or four times. When I commit to something, I make it happen. YOU SPENT FIVE MORE YEARS IN KOREA DATING LONG-DISTANCE AND MAKING A PLAN TO COME BACK.
I am big about having a plan. I was thinking of what I could do and had noticed that most people here just talk about North Korea and the negative things. I didn’t think that people knew enough. I wanted to do something that I could be better at than most other people here and would teach people about the Korean culture. Food made the most sense. HAD YOU GROWN UP COOKING WITH YOUR FAMILY?
Until then, I had never cooked. My mom did all the cooking and I knew nothing about making food. So I signed up for culinary school in the morning and taught science in the afternoons to make money. Cooking was challenging, but I loved it.
TELL US ABOUT THE JOURNEY TO OWNING YOUR RESTAURANT, BAPP.
When I moved back here in 2009 I worked at Whole Grocer (the original one where Lucky’s is now). I learned a lot about food there — organic, healthy food and what people liked. I first started doing my own thing at the farmers market on the Town Square around 2010. I made a few Korean dishes and people were really welcoming to me right away. I saw that people liked Korean food. IN 2011 YOU OPENED KIM’S CORNER, WHICH WAS FIRST IN A SMALL STAND IN POWDERHORN MALL BEFORE YOU MOVED IT UP TO SNOW KING CENTER.
I started doing a few more Korean dishes and experimenting with new items. I was always looking for a bigger place. People were happy with our food in our ratings, but sometimes the atmosphere was a problem because we had no seating areas. We make the food fresh but most of it was served as takeout, and it is always better when you eat it on-site. I wanted to give the people that experience. LATE LAST WINTER YOU FINALLY FOUND A SPOT FOR A RESTAURANT WHERE YOU COULD OFFER AN EXPANDED MENU AND A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO DINE IN.
Before we opened I did a trip to Los Angeles to eat at as many Korean places as I could find. I loved all the Korean barbecue dishes and how they offered the food with lots of side dishes. TO MAKE BAPP AUTHENTIC, YOU ALSO FLEW TO KOREA TO PICK UP SPECIAL BOWLS AND DISHES THAT WILL COOK THE RICE PERFECTLY. WHAT ARE OTHER SPECIAL TOUCHES YOU PUT INTO THE RESTAURANT, AND HOW DID YOU GET THE NAME?
Bapp is the Korean word for rice. We didn’t have a big budget, so we did most things
ourselves. My husband made the tables, and I went to the paint store many times to get the color just right. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DISH ON THE MENU?
The Bapp Galbi, which is made with beef short ribs. We marinate it and cook it on the grill, and it comes with a Korean salad and side dishes. WHEN NOT DINING ON KOREAN FARE, WHAT ELSE DO YOU EAT AROUND TOWN?
I really like rice dishes. For such a small town in Wyoming, we really have good-quality food. I like all food. I like Mexican food. Since I am at the restaurant from morning until night, if I grab something on the way home I get it from wherever is open, like Chinatown or Thai Plate. ON YOUR DAY OFF, YOU…
Study new dishes every day. I watch Korean cooking shows on YouTube and then teach myself how to make the dishes. I will run them as specials and if people like them, we can add them to the menu.
BAPP’S KIMCHI FRIED RICE 3 tablespoons oil 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped 1/2 cup green onion, chopped 1 cup well-fermented kimchi Sugar to taste 2 tablespoons soy sauce 3 cups cooked rice, chilled 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil 1 egg, fried Sesame seeds > Heat a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan and heat it until it starts to shimmer. Add all of the yellow onion and most of the green onion to the pan, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the green onion. Cook onions until they begin to wilt, about 2 minutes. Stir in the kimchi. Cook while stirring occasionally until some of the sourness from the kimchi has mellowed in flavor, about 15 minutes. Taste, and add a bit of sugar to mellow the flavor if needed. Stir in the soy sauce and rice. Stir in the sesame oil, then remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl or plate. Top with the fried egg, reserved green onion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
WE ALWAYS LIKE TO REVEAL SOMETHING A CHEF EATS THAT MIGHT BE A BIT EMBARRASSING TO ADMIT. YOURS IS?
Korean instant ramen. I love to cook for the customers, but for myself at the end of the day, I just don’t want to cook. FAVORITE THING ABOUT FINALLY SEEING YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE AND OWNING AND RUNNING BAPP?
It is really fun to see people branch out. I love to make new dishes that are as authentic as possible without scaring people off. I am always studying and working on it so it will keep evolving. When people are happy, I am happy. DISHINGJH.COM

THE
APRÈS SCENE
Just got my local ID, so the Cowboy Bar is the new HANG! Still figuring out which crap bottled beer I like most. PBR just seems so mainstream. Been rooting for Joe in the Ultimate Fighter series that happens out front every weekend, hoping I can double my money and make rent this week!
This is why Jackson keeps me young! Though I’m only here from the Hamptons in the winter, I’m really considering setting up a nonprofit for this Stagecoach disco night thing. It’s really good for your health. I feel so YOUNG! Way more rejuvenating than a charcoalkale-anise juice. Everyone’s SO friendly the heart, even 50 D I S H I N— GitJ H .warms COM under two layers of silicone.
Hello? Not much to see here — I mean, you can’t really see here, but I promise it’s VERY high class. The Rose makes the best cocktails in town. That’s what my friend said, at least. Still waiting on my Old-Fashioned.
~~BELCH~~ PIIZZZZAAAA!!!?? Give me the GLUTEN Pinky G’s! And another well shot. ~~BELCH~~
Snake River Brewery,
Goddamnit, those long-haired coastal burnouts figured out how to get into ElEanor’s again! I just came here for some peace, quiet, and the comfort of not knowing the time or weather! And the peanuts. Don’t you dare serve me one of those avocado Tex-Mex things — looks like hippie poison.
Jackson’s living room. At least that’s what we all call it — none of us actually own a living room, on account of our skiing addiction and this corrupted town that’s lost its way. This is the place! One day they say I’ll even be able to get my own mug — and not even the one the sheriff gives you!
I’m a grown-up, you know? I’ve earned my turns in Jackson, from skiing on the pass since before the Snake River bridge or the tunnel bike lane on 22. It’s good to live the local’s life at Local with the original colorful Ringholz rabbit and the sobering reminder of professionals who sold out, eating foie gras just over there in the dining room!
We just love Jackson Hole — THE Handle bar is our special spot. It’s the quaint patio seating, with rustic fire and local vibe that brings us back every year — that and my intolerable husband’s Wall Street bonus. But hey, it lets me take ski lessons with Diego! Right, Diego? You hunk!
Great day skiing the famous Snow King! It’s so great for having some contemplation time on those classic chairlifts. Ended up here at Roadhouse after the kiddos got cold. I heard Phish has something to do with it — SO cool! Was hoping to catch some local music later, but maybe I’m in the wrong place?
Phew! I made it safely back from the village, thanks to the “START the Party” bus. It’s so much chiller here at Thai Me Up — better beers, better kung fu, colorcoded Thai food…plus it’s a safe space for me to listen to hardcore gangsta rap. My beerhead friends in Boulder are gonna be JEALOUS! Is that beer really 13%?
Wait, where am I? Nick’s?? Can I get a shifty? WTF is
OMG, the gram is gonna love this! Wyoming is SO real! So glad we came here over Vail!

BUTTER ME UP
EDITORS NOTE: SOME DISHES MAY HAVE SEASONAL CHANGES.
with this classic pasta dish at Old Yellowstone Garage.
There is simply no comfort food quite like a big bowl of pasta. Whether smothered in cream and cheese or coated in truffle butter, pasta has an undeniable power to warm our bellies, fill us up and just make us happy, gluten be damned. These dishes don’t pretend to be anything they’re not— they are heavy, hearty and not afraid to leave butter running down your chin. From traditional, hand-rolled Italian fettuccini to Sange Sherpa’s favorite Nepalese noodles, this pasta roundup is not for the faint of heart when it comes to portion size.
OLD YELLOWSTONE GARAGE’S SPAGHETTI Spaghetti and meatballs doesn’t sound too exciting? Think again. Old Yellowstone Garage in Teton Village offers spaghetti three different ways, and we love them all. One trends toward the classic with a twist, featuring pulled mozzarella, tomato gravy and basil served with a wagyu meatball on the side. Another is made with black pepper and cultured butter and is topped with Parmigiana, and a third offering is made with Manilla clams and Calabrese peppers in a white wine and mint sauce. OYG’s proximity to the Tram makes this an ideal meal to snag at the end of a long day on the hill, washed down with a Barolo. You deserve it.
BIG HOLE BBQ’S MAC ’N’ CHEESE WITH BRISKET No pasta roundup would be complete without every kid, kid at heart and Midwestern auntie’s favorite pasta dish: mac and cheese. The ultimate in creamy comfort food is pretty good even when it’s kind of bad, but why settle when you can have the best? Adding hot sauce to your Kraft might have been peak gourmet in college, but now you can smother yours in barbecue sauce and marvel at how far you’ve come. Big Hole BBQ’s mac is topped with pork brisket, which is slow smoked in
sweet hickory with their secret rub. Best topped with a hearty helping of their homemade mild or spicy barbecue sauce, this dish will stick to your ribs on the way down, in all the right ways. Cheese, please!
NOODLE KITCHEN’S DAN-DAN NOODLES This low-key Asian fusion eatery lives up to its name by serving Chinese noodle dishes with a Western twist. Dan-dan noodles are a traditional Sichuan street food and are similar to ramen in that they have a nice broth base, but dan-dan is heavier on the noodle side. Yes, Noodle Kitchen’s version is Americanized, but it’s delicious. Ramen noodles are cooked in a sweet and spicy broth with chile oil, Sichuan pepper and scallions, and then topped with veggies like bok choy and bean sprouts. Surprising additions like peanut and mint aren’t exactly traditional for the dish, but they balance it perfectly. This bowl works well as a substitute for chicken noodle soup: If you’re feeling the wintertime sniffles coming on, snag one to go.
OSTERIA’S BOLOGNESE Il Villaggio Osteria in Teton Village is chockfull of options for both the all-day skier looking to carb load or the casual gluten enthusiast who is ready for a cocktail. Their
NOODLE KITCHEN
menu changes seasonally to reflect what’s fresh, but the Bolognese is such a fan favorite that it sticks around all year long. Made with ragu, cream and Pecorino Romano, this dish nails what separates bad Bolognese from your Italian nonna’s show-stopping dish: the sauce! Bolognese sauce is simple ingredient-wise but requires great attention to detail and must be made both slowly and deliberately (again, the Italian way) to achieve the correct texture. Osteria’s is meaty and just the right amount of greasy, the way nonna meant it to be.

PASTA COOKING TIPS FROM GLORIETTA CHEF TORI ARZT
lunch offerings, which has been a dream of theirs since they planned out their future restaurant from a hillside in Verona, Italy. I mean, the name of the restaurant is Butter — you can trust the pasta here. We love Marcos’ Mexican Pasta, which is inspired by his Mexican heritage and executed with traditional Italian pasta-making methods. The hand-rolled pasta served with a chorizo, poblano pepper and corn cream sauce is surprising, delicious and a perfect example of Marcos’ and Amelia’s expert ability to blend cuisines.
GLORIETTA’S MUSHROOM, GORGONZOLA AND WALNUT FETTUCCINI Chef Tori Arzt put Glorietta on the local culinary map as a date night favorite with truly authentic Italian fare. Arzt’s handmade mushroom, Gorgonzola and walnut fettuccine is inspired by her travels through northern Italy and uses traditional methods to make the sauce: Half of the mushroom stems used as a garnish are cooked in the cream for aromatics, and the other half are used to make a stock, increasing the flavor throughout the entire dish. The result is a warming, flavorful dish that is at once surprising and familiar — walnuts and gorgonzola beautifully complement each other and add texture to the creamy sauce and perfectly cooked handmade pasta. Enjoy this dish slowly and deliberately — it’s the Italian way!
1) Make sure your water is well-salted. 2) You need less water than you think — you only need enough so that the water doesn’t stop boiling when you put the pasta in. 3) Not all pastas require boiling — some (like rice-based pastas) just need a strong simmer. 4) Rather than completely straining the pasta water, reserve about a cup to incorporate into the sauce when completing the dish. 5) You can’t go back from overcooked pasta. Cook it to just under al dente, and then finish cooking it in the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water. That way all of the flavors incorporate as the pasta continues to cook.
EVEREST MOMO SHACK’S TANDOORI CHICKEN CHOW MEIN Sange Sherpa, owner of Everest Momo Shack, is a Nepal-born mountaineer and

GLORIETTA
outdoorsman who knows what it takes to warm you up after a full day in the high alpine. Not familiar with Nepalese food? Owing to its geographic location, the cuisine blends the flavors and styles of both Chinese and Indian cooking. Think of Nepalese food as the best of both worlds, and no dish displays this better than Sherpa’s Tandoori Chicken Chow Mein. Nepalese-style stir-fried noodles are seasoned with Sange’s wife Rita’s secret spice blend that has been passed down for generations. Packed with savory veggies and loaded with spiced tandoori chicken on top, this hearty meal is the perfect fuel for both Everest expeditions and chasing your power-wedging, speed-demon 6-year-old down Amphitheater Bowl.
ORSETTO’S ORECCHIETTE Orecchiette, which means “little ears” in Italian, is a traditional pasta dish that originated in the Apulia region of Italy, or the heel of Italy’s “boot.” This pasta resembles tiny ears or bowls and is perfect for scooping up and soaking in whatever yummy sauce it is served with. Due to the warm Mediterranean climate in this sun-drenched, whitewashed region of Italy, this dish is typically on the lighter side as Italian food goes, but will definitely still warm you up during a Wyoming winter. Orsetto’s version is made with delicious house-made buffalo sausage, rapini, shaved garlic and lemon, and is topped with Parmesan cheese. You’ll want extra bread to soak up whatever sauce your orecchiette misses!
BUTTER’S MARCOS’ MEXICAN PASTA FOR THE PASTA 4 CUPS FLOUR 5 EGGS 1 EGG YOLK
On a large, smooth surface make a well of flour, adding the eggs and egg yolk to the middle. With a fork, slowly incorporate the eggs into the walls of the well, without breaking the walls. When the dough is fully combined, turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, using your palm to push the dough away from you, and then reincorporating and repeating the process. After it is kneaded, let the dough
rest for 30 minutes. After it has rested, roll out the dough into a very thin sheet, then roll it up like you would a cinnamon roll and slice pieces into 1/4-inch strips (or use a pasta machine). Cook pasta strips in boiling, salted water for 3 minutes or until desired texture is reached.
FOR THE SAUCE
3 EARS CORN 2 CLOVES GARLIC, CHOPPED 1/2 YELLOW ONION, DICED 1/2 CUP HEAVY CREAM SALT AND PEPPER, TO TASTE 1 POBLANO PEPPER 1/2 CUP CHORIZO SAUSAGE
Grill corn on a gas flame until charred. Remove kernels from the cob, setting
aside 3/4 cup. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, sauté remaining corn with garlic and onion until onions are soft. Add heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour mixture into a blender. Then blend until silky. Place poblano pepper over a gas flame and roast until charred, then place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and rest for 15 minutes. After the poblano has rested, remove skin and seeds and chop finely. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, sauté chorizo, reserved corn and chopped poblano until hot, mixing in cream sauce and simmering for a few minutes. Add the sauce to cooked pasta and serve immediately.

Sustainable SHOPPING
Help save the planet by shopping and dining as sustainably as possible using these tips. By SAM SIMMA Photos by JAY NEL-MCINTOSH
THIS PAST YEAR, THE TOWN OF JACKSON PASSED AN ORDINANCE BANNING SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAGS. THIS IS A HUGE WIN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND OUR COMMUNITY, BUT IT’S ONLY THE START OF THE WAYS WE CAN ALL SHOP AND EAT MORE SUSTAINABLY. WE HAVE ROUNDED UP SOME OTHER IDEAS ON WAYS TO BE EVEN MORE SUSTAINABLE.
BYOB
68 D I S H I N G J H . C O M
The conversation to rid Jackson of single-use plastic bags started a decade ago but came
to fruition only in early 2019. Town of Jackson Assistant Public Works Director Johnny Ziem spearheaded the push to ban plastic bags at both large and small retailers, researching the bag-ban processes implemented in similar communities. The Jackson Town Council opted for an aggressive approach, outright banning plastic bags and implementing a 20-cent fee for the use of new paper bags. Half of that fee returns to the Town of Jackson. Single-use plastic bags are not a new environmental evil, but what’s the best alternative after the implementation of the bag
Bulk Bins
Buying in bulk cuts down on the amount of packaging your purchased products require. But filling up the zip-close bags in the bulk section is only a half-win. The solution: Bring your own bulk containers. Glass food containers are not only the most durable food storage option, but they are also fully recyclable. Fill your reusable bag with glass containers before you head to the store, and fill those containers with your bulk items.

BULK BUYING GUIDE
Pack a variety of glass jars and containers before you head to the store.
ban? When making your grocery bag choice, it’s important to consider both the modes of production and the life cycle of your options. Paper bags are the most biodegradable, but the environmental costs of producing them are large. Similarly, the life cycle of cloth bags is the longest of any reusable option, but cotton is a crop that leaves a large footprint. THE WINNER: Reusable bags made from polypropylene (recycled plastic). FORGET ME NOT: Jackson Whole Grocer aims to cut down on the number of reusable bags floating around out there by instituting a bag-share program. Donate your extra bags to the bin, and grab a sack when you forget yours at home. REAP REWARDS: Lucky’s Market rewards customers who BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag). For every reusable shopping bag you bring, you get 10 cents off your grocery bill. Or, you can donate that 10 cents to a featured local nonprofit, which changes every month.
Upon arrival, get a tare weight for your container from a cashier. Do your shopping, marking the product number on your container with a marker.
When it’s time to check out, let the cashier know the tare weight of the container before they weigh the filled version. You’ll soon grow accustomed to the tare weight of your individual containers and won’t need to get them weighed at the start of each shopping session. (Conversely, you can mark the tare weights on the containers with a sticky label so you don’t have to remember them or have the containers weighed.) Similarly, glass containers can be used for your deli- and meat-counter purchases.
WHOLE GROCER
offers a space to borrow or share a bag so you never have to buy.
Caffeine Consumers
Recyclable or not, paper coffee cups are bad for the environment and your coffee habit. These days, coffee shops are more than willing to put your caffeinated beverage in your personal mug or travel cup. Pearl Street Bagels even offers a discount on brewed coffee served in your own mug as an added incentive! That’s 75 cents of savings on a large, 20-ounce coffee. Find a coffee container that speaks to your style and represents your favorite coffee stop. This practice reduces waste and keeps your coffee warmer (or cooler) for longer. TOP PICKS: Reusable mugs from Pearl Street Bagels. Receive a free drink with your purchase. Going forward, when you bring your own mug to Pearl Street Bagels, receive a coffee punch card — your 10th drink is free! STAY HYDRATED: Plastic bags were the first to go, but we’d love to see plastic water bottles disappear as well. Get yourself a reusable water bottle you love — you’ll hydrate more and help reduce plastic waste.

CAFFIENE and bring your own mug for a discount at Pearl Street Bagels.
Eating Out

pack. Kerri Thomas, VIM and Inversion Yoga instructor and self-taught sustainable shopper, packs a makeup bag of utensils that includes metal straws, eating utensils, cloth napkins and chopsticks. “Start with simple, small changes where you can,” Thomas says. “It takes some planning, but you don’t have to be perfect.” When she plans on eating out, Thomas even brings a small glass container in case she has leftovers. STRAW FREE JH: This local organization works with restaurants to reduce their dependence on single-use plastic straws.
1
Skip the receipt and save the store a little paper.
Spurred by their action, over 50 Jackson restaurants now serve straws only on request. Among these, a handful of establishments, like Dornan’s in Grand Teton National Park, offer paper straws. A few other local restaurants are getting creative with their straw options: Trio can offer customers metal straws, and Local has straws available that are made from hay. DON’T FORGET: Remember to say “no utensils, please” when ordering takeout.
Produce Plastics
Generally speaking, avoiding the middle

Stick to a list (that you have typed into your phone!). Purposeful shopping leads to less food waste. Similarly, consolidate the number of shopping trips you take to the store.

Shop small and locally. Utilize farmers markets and farm shares to avoid the environmental impact that comes from trucking in food to our secluded region.
aisles of the store will help keep you from accruing product packaging. However, plastics can sneak up on you in the produce section. Most of us separate produce items into individual plastic produce bags (clear for regular produce, green for organic). But these bags are just as bad as the general ones we’ve banned from Jackson. You’ll be washing your produce before you eat it anyway, so skip the bag and place your produce in the cart naked. PRO TIP: When selecting your greens, buy heads of lettuce over boxed greens.

Buy organic and shop seasonally.

Avoid products that are packaged into individual servings, and look for packaging that utilizes recycled materials.

Modern chefs are combining traditionally opposite flavors that may make us hesitate at first glance, but, after the first bite, will change our perceptions of balance. BY SAM SIMMA PHOTOS BY JAY NEL-MCINTOSH

chicken and waffle dish can be made vegetarian by choosing jackfruit instead.
THE TASTE BUDS OF THE TONGUE
have long been divided into five basic sections: sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami (with umami being synonymous with savory). It is believed that dishes combining multiple taste profiles achieve the most balance. Some creative chefs are pushing the boundaries on oppositional ingredients. From sweet and spicy to salty and sour, consider experimenting with one of these mergers on your next dining adventure. Salty and sweet are two very strong opposites in the taste world. Standing alone, either of these elements can dominate a dish when used in excess, so achieving a balance between the two is a precarious art. One of the most successful examples of this combination is the potato chip pie adorning the dessert menu at The Kitchen. If you wash it down with a cup of coffee, you’ll add bitterness to your palate that will mellow out the two dramatic contrasts. More classic instances of salty and sweet occur when cheese and fruit are combined, like in the baked Danish brie at StillWest Brewery & Grill. Soft cheeses like brie have a salty finish, and, in this example, the saltiness of the cheese is accentuated by the presence of pistachios. However, that saltiness is then contrasted with strawberry compote and orange blossom honey. Similarly, at Roadhouse Pub & Eatery, their apple prosciutto flatbread has a subtle sweetness in the face of salty prosciutto and Parmesan cheese. Notice that sweetness is an easy incorporation in most of these combinations. Not only is sweetness a natural craving of the body, but it easily complements the other four tastes. Adding something sweet to an otherwise savory dish elevates the other flavors. Probably one of the most classic combinations would be chicken and waffles, and Cultivate Cafe provides this dish in its traditional presentation as well as a meatless jackfruit version.

The combinations that are really pushing the envelope are those that toy with incorporating three or more tastes. A shining example would be the Flyin’ Hawaiian pizza at Pinky G’s Pizzeria. When you grab a slice of this pie, choose wisely — you’ll want to get a bite that includes pineapple, Canadian bacon and jalapeños to get the full effect. The beauty of a pizza is the ability to cater to your own preferences; get strategic in selecting a slice with more pineapple or jalapeños if you want to amplify sweetness or spice. For a trio that’s more savory than salty, the mango habanero chicken at Hatch Taquería & Tequilas delivers underlying spice and sweetness to an otherwise meaty dish (which has become indicative of savory flavors). Another demonstration of this combination comes from a longtime local favorite: the Cowboy Pops at the Wort Hotel’s Silver Dollar Bar & Grill. These braised beef “lollipops” offer both spicy and sweet flavors from the chipotle barbecue the meat is braised in. Spicy sauces can often be described as smoky, but, in actuality, smokiness is a delicate balance between the bitter and spicy taste categories. The authentic mole sauce at El Abuelito is an exemplary instance of this combo. This thick, richly flavored sauce blends together bitter dark chocolate, chiles and spices, including hoja santa, a Mexican herb. In a similar vein, although from a different region of the world, Japanese katsu sauce utilizes rich spices and ingredients for a sweet and savory result. Suda Izakaya has a whole selection of katsu sandwiches that showcase the versatility of this sauce. Bitterness is the most sensitive taste of the five. Even many coffee drinkers will mellow out that famously bitter beverage with cream and sugar. The increasing popularity of hoppy craft beers has been credited with

increasing the desirability of bitterness. In a show-stopping combination, FIGS’ Wild & Free cocktail aligns bitter and sweet. Wyoming Whiskey and Jackson Hole Winery zinfandel come together in this cocktail with maple, lemon and aquafaba. Only this bold red wine could hold its own against whiskey’s inherent bitterness. It’s a cocktail combo you have to taste to believe. More unlikely combos utilize sour tastes. Sourness arises from an ingredient’s acidity. Citrus and fermented foods demonstrate sourness in the most positive light, but heavy-handed acidity can destroy traces
of any other tastes. The best example of a combination containing a nice balance of sour with other flavors is the spicy margarita at Spur Restaurant & Bar. Not only does this cocktail incorporate sourness, it manages to achieve four taste categories in one glass: salty, sour, sweet and spicy. Next time you’re perusing a local menu and find yourself balking at something that seems like an odd combination, don’t hesitate. The mastermind chefs in this valley are thoughtfully creating dishes with contrasting tastes that are certain to please your palate.
HATCH’S MANGO HABANERO CHICKEN FOR THE MANGO HABANERO GLAZE:
2 cups fresh mangos, diced 1 fresh habanero pepper, chopped 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar > Blend mango, habanero pepper and half the brown sugar in a food processor or blender until smooth. On low heat, melt the rest of the brown sugar in a sauce pan, stirring consistently so it doesn’t burn. After sugar is melted, add mango habanero puree and apple cider vinegar to the pan. Reduce the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is the consistency of syrup. Set aside to cool. FOR THE CHICKEN:
6 airline chicken breasts 1/2 cup rice vinegar 1/2 cup Tanteo Habanero tequila 1 cup mango habanero glaze Salt and pepper, to taste Mustard frills and fresh habanero pepper, for garnish > Marinate the chicken in the rice vinegar and tequila overnight. When ready to cook, heat grill to medium-high. Brush chicken with mango habanero glaze and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken, skin-side down, and grill 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. Brush each side with more glaze halfway through. Allow chicken to rest 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with mustard frills and fresh habanero pepper. At Hatch, this dish is served alongside black bean puree and jicama slaw.

Kitchen Views A couple update their kitchen using their professional organizing and building skills. by Allison Arthur photos by Aaron Kraft
WHEN
Samantha Danahy and Chris Ludwig bought their home in Cottonwood in 2016, they knew that the tight galley kitchen wasn’t going to work for them. But Danahy, a professional organizer, helps people plan, arrange and design their dream kitchens for a living, and she knew she could rework the space. Her husband, Ludwig, is a project manager for a construction company, Two Oceans Builders, so he knew he could undertake the remodel. They immediately gutted the space and started re-creating the kitchen from scratch. “I was so excited to plan my own kitchen,” says Danahy. “Unlike when I work with clients, I am so familiar with my own stuff and wanted everything to have a place.”

FAMILY AFFAIR:
The open kitchen makes good use of the small space for their family.
For three months the newly married couple lived in a construction zone and without a kitchen while Ludwig did most of the work on nights and weekends. Meanwhile, Danahy sourced durable quartz countertops (“I am way too uptight for marble,” she says) and Ikea cabinets. “We washed the dishes in the bathtub and ate Cutty’s pizza five days a week,” she says. While they agreed on most of the project, Ludwig contributed a big improvement to the space by deciding to bump the wall out 24 inches to recess the cabinets just enough. It made room to be able to add a two-seat peninsula to the counter space. While they often sit there, it also makes for a nice buffet space during the holidays. Danahy says her favorite part about the process was that she is used to doing this for clients, and so it felt amazing to do the project for themselves.

“I got to reap the benefits of what I do,” she says. “When I unpacked I knew exactly where everything was going to go.” Essentials the couple had to have were a well-vented hood, a panel-front dishwasher and a cabinet where they could hide small appliances like the microwave. While the kitchen is still relatively diminutive, there is space for everything via elements like pull-out drawers and even a drawer with its own hidden drawer. “My little kitchen functions better than some of the brand-new fancy kitchens I have been in that are significantly larger,” Danahy says.
SHARPLY DESIGNED:
“I knew I wanted in-drawer knives and a pantry specific to food,” Danahy says. As a newlywed, she also wanted see-through cabinetry to display wedding china.

If
you have ever had the non-pleasure of sitting in San Francisco traffic trying to get to the wine country, you have felt my pain. Instead of sipping on sauvignon blanc, you are sitting in an often sweltering car. Then, once you have arrived, the crowds don’t dissipate. The town square in Healdsburg is bustling, and the restaurants and many of the vineyards require reservations. Who has time for all that? If you are like me and really want to unwind, you don’t want to deal with traffic on vacation. Or a tight schedule or firm plans. What you want is a place to relax, where you can have that extra glass of wine without fear the restaurant will fill up. Somewhere that you can see the scenery, and not through the lines of people in front of you. For a wine trip, Walla Walla, Washington, could be just what you desire. Lovely inns and B&Bs reside near fields of grapes with tasting rooms dotting the landscape. Complete with a downtown to shop and enough restaurants to keep your taste buds satisfied, this emerging area has plenty to keep you busy for days.

The head winemaker is from France, so a lot of tradition and experience goes into the wines they produce in their impressive facility. Plan to stay for tapas on the elevated deck and browse some of the artifacts on-site, like an ancient wine press. WAT E R B R O O K W I N E R Y
This winery is not only complete with a full restaurant, but it also offers events like summer concerts and more. If you can plan your day around dining here, you should.
