I am a sucker for Persephone’s Rice Krispie treat.

The mud pie from The Blue Lion has been a favorite since I was a child. The combination of the ice cream and crunchy Oreo crust is perfection!

CONTRIBUTORS Amber Day Aaron Kraft Adam Larkum Jay Nel-McIntosh

I generally just go for an amaro (Glorietta and Il Villaggio Osteria have great selections), but I do love the chocolate chip cookie skillet they serve at The Kitchen.

Definitely whatever seasonal cheesecake Rendezvous Bistro has on the menu, paired with an espresso martini if I’m really looking to indulge!

What We Crave PHOTO BY ASHLEY MERRITT

Cheers to plenty of outdoor fun all winter!

INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING about how COVID-19 has affected the restaurant community in Jackson Hole and lamenting not being able to publish the summer issue of Dishing, we want to draw attention to all the great efforts these small businesses have made to come together and work through this tough time. The first thing that comes to mind are the hardworking entrepreneurs and staff behind the restaurants in town. We have witnessed so many of them work double time to stay open, all while managing ever-changing health code requirements to keep diners and employees as safe as possible. They also added new features to make online ordering more seamless and found novel ways to provide dining experiences, whether that meant family-style to-go meals or expanding outdoor dining spaces, called parklets, that we saw around town last summer. The community also worked to support the restaurants we love — doing takeout when dining in wasn’t an option — and wearing masks, following rules and showing up when it was. While nobody can predict exactly what this winter will be like, we can look forward to continuing to eat from restaurants. Some things we are especially craving now are… The cold months when we wear masks anyway! Skiing and après sessions with small groups of friends at the Mangy Moose. Skinning Snow King Mountain in the mornings, which is natural social distancing, followed by a treat from Brewhouse Coffee. A lot of takeout! Have you heard that Pizzeria Caldera is offering take-and-bake pizzas? And Hatch has family-style dinners to go that serve four to six people.

he industry praise for photographer Carrie Patterson is as impressive as are her timeless images. She has been named one of the world’s best photographers by Condé Nast’s Brides magazine, a top photographer by Martha Stewart and one of the industry’s most inspiring people by The Knot. When she gets a little time off from shooting weddings, we talk her into shooting food for Dishing. In this issue, we wanted to find out a bit more about some of her foodie faves. You spend your summers shooting high-end weddings in great destinations, so I’m sure you’ve seen local caterers pull off some impressive meals. Anything you’ve witnessed that stands out as special? Unfortunately we rarely get a good meal at weddings. By the time we’re allowed to eat, the food is either cold or it’s a frozen lasagna. The best meal, hands down, is at Trail Creek Cabin in Sun Valley: roasted chicken with new potatoes and carrots, and it’s hot. In this issue we highlight pizza in our 5 Ways column. What are your family’s go-tos for pizza here in town? Henry [Patterson’s son] loves the pizza at Snake River Brewery (pepperoni smile) and, of course, Domino’s (ham and black olives). We also have a feature in this issue about celebratory dining experiences. Where do you like to go to celebrate with food and drinks in Jackson? Glorietta seems to be the spot — great cocktails and apps. I love their Beetlejuice cocktail and mozzarella sticks. During the winter months, you spend some time in the desert to get away. Any recommendations on places people should try next time they are in Moab? In Moab, definitely try Miguel’s Baja Grill for margs and tacos, or Thai Bella for the best Thai around. In Arizona, two places we love are El Encanto Dos in Carefree, and Elote Cafe in Sedona, which is a James Beard semifinal nominee this year. What is your favorite JH location for shooting weddings, and why? Snake River Ranch — the views are great, and it’s close to both Teton Village and town.

Plant-Based Eating HEALTHY BEING CAFÉ & JUICERY’S JESSICA VANDENBROEKE SHARES A FEW OF HER FAVORITE RECIPES AND DIVES INTO SOME GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD TRY THEM.

HOW + WHEN

WHETHER IT IS AN EFFORT TO JOIN THE MEATLESS MONDAY INITIATIVE, A NEED TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION IN YOUR BODY OR JUST A GOAL TO ACHIEVE SOME OF THE GENERAL HEALTH BENEFITS THAT CAN BE DERIVED FROM A DIET RICH IN CERTAIN FOODS, THERE ARE ENDLESS REASONS TO INCORPORATE MORE PLANT-BASED DISHES INTO YOUR ROUTINE. AT HER DOWNTOWN RESTAURANT, HEALTHY BEING CAFÉ & JUICERY, OWNER JESSICA VANDENBROEKE EXPERIMENTS WITH OFFERING A VARIED PLANT-BASED, AND OFTEN RAW AND VEGAN, CUISINE. “At Healthy Being it has always been our philosophy that eating a plant-based cuisine is one part of our food story,” she says. “Just as you choose Italian, Thai or Mexican on different nights, you can choose plant-based on another or eat plants all day, then enjoy a clean, regeneratively farmed protein at night with dinner. You can take this as far as what works for you and feels good in your body.” As with all of our food choices, it is important to consider the quality and source of the ingredients you start with, says Vandenbroeke. At home and at the café, she uses all organic and carefully sourced raw foods to start with. Having educated herself on things to watch out for, she always reads labels and avoids items like citric acid (which is often sourced from black mold) and thickening agents like xanthan gum. We met up with Vandenbroeke to find out more about the benefits of eating clean, quality food, why we should, and to get a few recipes that she offers at the café.

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

SO, HOW AND WHEN CAN YOU MAKE PL ANT-BASED SUBSTITUTIONS IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE? One of the easiest plant-based substitutes is swapping nuts for cheeses and meats. While you can choose to use any nuts when making milks, cheeses, sauces and alternative meat crumbles, says Vandenbroeke, cashews are often her favorite. “Cashews are versatile, lend themselves to savory and sweet recipes, and can blend with so many flavor profiles.” Vandenbroeke suggests recipe testing and figuring out where the flavor profiles can go. “We found that people avoiding dairy often miss queso,” she says. “It is one of those

things; it is so delicious and a comfort food. In our version, the spices that are in it take over the cashew flavor, and, when served warm, it is just as satisfying.” “I recommend cutting down on dairy, not always eliminating it,” says Vandenbroeke. When you do this, you can get to know your body by experimenting with your diet. “A variety of food is best for our bodies. To become in sync and in touch with your body, explore what makes you feel energized, vibrant, focused and happy, and what doesn’t. If you are hooked on or feel addicted to anything, try taking a break and replacing it with something new and just notice the difference.”

TIPS + TRICKS > Use a high-speed blender, not a food processor, for a creamy, silky milk/ cheese/sauce texture. > Use a food processor when you want a chunkier texture, as in walnut chorizo or something similar.

WHY SO, WHY SHOULD WE CUT DOWN ON DAIRY? There are many reasons to make substitutions and adjustments to how much dairy you take in, including being lactose intolerant, like a great deal of the population is, or if you need to avoid sugar, which can be found in many milks and yogurts. “Mass-produced dairy is very proinflammatory,” says Vandenbroeke. “It’s really cool that plant-based can be a part of any cuisine, and if you feel better eating more of it, then you have opened up a world of delicious, exciting options.”

> When it comes to soaking, it’s not necessary to soak all nuts and seeds in advance, but soaking does activate the full nutrient potential of the food.

> Because the soaking liquid contains anti-nutrients, always discard it, then rinse the nuts with fresh, filtered water before adding them to your recipes.

> Like grains and legumes, raw nuts and seeds contain substances that can interfere with the body’s ability to absorb the nutrients they contain.

> As a general rule with nuts, the harder the nut, the longer the soak. Long-soak nuts (almonds, pistachios and hazelnuts) need eight to 12 hours.

The simple process of soaking nuts improves their nutrition and makes them more digestible by reducing phytic acid and neutralizing enzyme inhibitors. Hydrated nuts yield a silky, creamy texture in your milks/sauces/ cheeses, and the final product will be less likely to separate.

> Medium-soak nuts (pecans, walnuts and Brazil nuts) are oilier and swell up quickly, so they require less soaking time (four to eight hours).

> Don’t oversoak (see reference below for recommended soaking times). Oversoaking can lead to flavorless, slimy or bitter nuts.

> Short-soak nuts (cashews, macadamias and pine nuts) have the highest fat content and require only two to four hours of soaking. Do not soak these nuts for longer than four hours. Soaking them for extended periods of time breaks down their health-promoting oils.

> If you have soaked overnight and aren’t ready to use the nuts till a later time, drain, rinse and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

> When you just don’t have the time for a full soak, pour hot to boiling water over these nuts and soak for one hour. Rinse and drain.

Jackson Classic: Rendezvous Bistro by Sam Simma photos by Jay Nel-Mcintosh

this winter will be Rendezvous Bistro’s last season in business. In 2001, partners Gavin Fine and Roger Freedman opened the doors of a French American bistro that would become the first restaurant in what is now the Fine Dining Restaurant Group. Each eatery’s culinary concept has become synonymous among Jackson locals and visitors with quality, value, comfort and innovation. Founded out of a passion for fine food and service, Rendezvous Bistro was the first of what is now a family of six restaurants including Bin22, The Kitchen, Il Villaggio Osteria, Bodega and Roadhouse Pub & Eatery. Prior to opening Rendezvous Bistro, Fine traveled through Europe, studying wine and cooking with a restaurant journal in hand. In awe of the culture of eating in Italy and France, he sought to make that five-star experience an approachable and comfortable reality in Jackson. “We hit a good sweet spot, at that time, with the menu’s pricing,” Fine says. “There was a lower end and higher end, with a gap in the middle.” Upon opening, in a location that was a Denny’s in its previous life, the Bistro’s menu was entirely under $20 (with the exception of oysters and nightly specials). Not only that, but the wine list boasted 100 bottles of wine under $35.

SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED:

Wine and beverage director Neil Loomis creates cocktails for the company.

Today, Neil Loomis is the wine and beverage director for the entire Fine Dining Restaurant Group. He joined the Bistro team at its inception, leaving a position as bar manager at the Million Dollar Cowboy Steakhouse. “I was definitely nervous,” he recalls. “The Cowboy was really busy, and I was doing well. But then, the Bistro was a home run from the day we opened.” Where did that immediate success come from? Loomis credits part of it to the specialty cocktail list that still showcases an array of spirits and flavors that make for easy sipping to this day. “It was the first restaurant in Jackson to have that list of fun and different drinks,” he says. One such cocktail Loomis created specifically for a Bistro regular. He recalls that the patron, Josh Miller, would reserve a table for multiple time slots through the evening — at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. — “so he could make sure he had a seat for six hours in a row,” Loomis remembers. “He loved apple martinis,

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

but he wanted a separate layer of cranberry. I funneled in the cranberry and called it the Josh Cran-bomb.” It’s maybe not the specialty cocktail Loomis is most proud of, but it is representative of the cocktail revolution the Bistro kicked off in Jackson. Sloane Bergien’s “love affair with the Bistro” began with her behind-the-scenes connection to the Bistro’s back-of-house. She owned and operated the Jackson Hole Farmers Market for 20 years, and this meant working with area chefs and kitchens to bring local fare to restaurant tables. She witnessed firsthand a unique camaraderie in the Bistro kitchen, in addition to a commitment and dedication to participating in the local food scene. The result, she says, is something for everyone: “You can call it a French bistro, but there’s so much more than that. Staples on the menu like steak frites, meatloaf, roasted chicken — are all associated with a French bistro, but they have it all.”

RENDEZVOUS BISTROâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S VANILLA BEAN CHEESECAKE WITH RED CHERRY TOPPING For the crust: 2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/2 cup sugar Pinch salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted > In a medium bowl, mix all dry ingredients. Pour melted butter over dry mixture, mixing it in with a fork until well-combined. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch or 10-inch round pan. Chill in refrigerator for an hour. For the filling: 1/2 vanilla bean pod 32 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 1/3 cups sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 4 eggs

> Heat oven to 350 F. With the back of a knife, scrape the vanilla beans out of the pod and set aside. Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, whip together the cream cheese, sugar and salt until smooth. Add vanilla extract, vanilla beans and lemon juice, mixing until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl and mixing until smooth. Pour filling on top of the chilled crust. Bake in a water bath for 45 minutes or until mostly firm when gently jiggled. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature in the water bath. Remove from water bath and refrigerate overnight. For the cherry topping: 1 pound tart red cherries, pitted 1 cup plus 1/4 cup water 1 cup sugar Juice of 1 lemon 3 cinnamon sticks 1/4 cup corn starch > Add all ingredients except the 1/4 cup water and corn starch to a medium pot and bring to a

boil over medium-high heat. Cook until mixture reduces by half. In a smaller pot, dissolve corn starch in 1/4 cup water over medium heat. Add corn starch mixture to cherry mixture and bring back to a boil. Cook to desired thickness, adding more corn starch as needed for thicker sauce. For the whipped cream: 2 cups heavy cream 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 cup powdered sugar 1 cup sour cream > In a bowl, beat the cream with the vanilla and powdered sugar until firm peaks form. Slowly fold in sour cream. To serve: Spoon whipped cream onto cheesecake and freeze until whipped cream has firmed up. Thaw until slicing is possible, then refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, spoon cherry topping onto each individual slice. Cherry topping can be served chilled or warm.

GOOD TIMES:

Wyoming Whiskey owner David DeFazio is a regular at the Bistro.

Fine recalls the pivotal pursuit of bringing the perfect baguette and french fries to the Bistro’s repertoire. “We needed to have a crusty French baguette, where the crumbs went everywhere on the tables,” he says. “And french fries — you better have good french fries if you’re going to call yourself a bistro.” Fine and his team diligently researched the best fry for the job, from the size of the cut to the type of oil they’re cooked in, and finally landed on a product they would have to make themselves. What is the perfect fry? Fine says it is “crispy on the outside, with a creamy bite on the inside.” Wyoming Whiskey owner David DeFazio has been frequenting the Bistro since the beginning, at times dining there four evenings in the course of one week. “You know you can get the same dish and it’s going to be just as good as it was last week or last month, and there’s a level

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

of comfort in knowing that,” he says. An avid supporter of the Bistro’s half chicken, he notes that the staff has become so familiar with his preferences that they are surprised if he orders something different. Although the Bistro will alter the presentation of some of its staple dishes or mix up seasonal components, it’s important to the customers that the restaurant continue to offer their favorites. “Some people are creatures of habit when it comes to eating,” Fine notes. “Luckily, these dishes are timeless, and when our customers speak, we listen. They would never let us get rid of the meatloaf or roasted chicken.” As a whole, the Bistro’s menu is a mix of fine food and low-fanfare items that make it approachable to diners from all walks of life. “It’s a no-brainer to recommend to anybody,” Bergien says. “For families, couples, people of all different income levels, the Bistro is always at the top of the list. It’s the standard by which we measure other places.” Rendezvous Bistro’s enduring popularity is a testament to the hard work invested by its founders. Loomis recalls evenings when Fine would wake up on one of the Bistro’s benches after a long night of service. And DeFazio concurs: “He was so committed to that restaurant, and it shone through in everything he did. He brings a level of intensity and passion to everything he does: in the training of his staff, in the designing of the menu — and working with Roger, let’s not discount Roger. Roger brought a culinary cookbook in his mind to the Bistro and created items that are still on the menu to this day.” Bergien agrees, saying that although “it looks seamless, like the whole thing is a stroke of genius, it’s all because of the two of them.” Aside from their attention to the food and atmosphere, the pair paid special attention to service, in a way that wasn’t seen outside of highend restaurants. “You have to show you care,” Fine says. And the Fine Dining Restaurant Group staff does so with their detailed knowledge of every dish and beverage on the menu. As diners, we return to the places where we were shown kindness and sincerity, and this positive attitude contributes to the Bistro’s ambience. As much as the patrons and history will credit the work of Fine and Freedman, Fine gives accolades to his staff: “They are the most important people, because really good service can make your food taste better.” Fortunately, the Bistro has both.

DRY HARD CIDER MADE WITH WYOMING APPLES PRESSED IN JACKSON HOLE, WY NATURALLY GLUTEN-FREE SUPER DELICIOUS!

Ways: Pizza photos and story by Allison Arthur

P ERA CI P OLLE

Find it: Pizzeria Caldera The spin: A bubbling white sauce is topped with mozzarella, red onion, Anjou pears, Applewood smoked bacon and gorgonzola and finished with a balsamic reduction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kind of like a charcuterie board on a pizza. Why we love it: The traditional Napolitana crust is chewy and crisp at the same time, and the toppings are well-balanced. The owners perfected the style and toppings over many years and opened the restaurant at the request of friends who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough!

G ODZI L L A

Find it: Pinky G’s Pizzeria The spin: All meat, all day. Don’t pick one — on this pie you get it all: spicy sausage, pepperoni, Canadian bacon and homemade meatballs. Why we love it: Whether it is enjoyed after a long hike or after a long night (since Pinky G’s serves later than most), know that what you are eating has been endorsed by Guy Fieri not once, but twice.

P H ILLY C H EES ESTEA K Find it: Cutty’s Bar and Grill The spin: Craving a Philly but also in the mood for pizza? Get the best of both worlds on this one topped with griddled onions, mushrooms, peppers and your choice of chicken or beef. Why we love it: The large slices are never short on toppings, and don’t be afraid to take some pizza home — we verify that it reheats well, especially for breakfast!

EL PABLI TO Find it: Hand Fired Pizza The spin: Dairy-free? Never fear! Even the lactose-intolerant can feast on the El Pablito. Organic tomato sauce is topped with dairyfree mozzarella, local heirloom tomatoes and organic caramelized onions, and the whole thing is finished with a fresh arugula salad. Why we love it: With the wood-fired crust and locally sourced ingredients, you will never miss the real cheese. This restaurant caters to the gluten-free as well!

F I G & PROSC I U T TO Find it: Old Yellowstone Garage The spin: Fontina tops a bacon cream and is finished with prosciutto. Rich and creamy, this pie is perfect for sharing at the start of a meal. Why we love it: Even though the chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu is designed to sway you from it, the pizza here has a following. While the menu changes seasonally, this pie has been so popular it has lasted for a couple of seasons so far.

RESTAURANT RESILIENCE Many restaurants have not only survived but also thrived during COVID-19. Here’s how they’ve done it.

by Lauren Teruya photo by Brian Upesleja

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

When doors closed and people were asked to stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jackson’s restaurateurs stepped up. “My immediate response was to shut down to keep everyone safe, take care of my 300-plus employees, and make sure they had enough money to pay the bills and rent,” says Gavin Fine, owner of Fine Dining Restaurant Group. Will Bradof, owner of Local and Trio An American Bistro, steered his restaurants into survival mode. “Those first three or four days of having to close, I had my kitchen crew at Local come in, and we probably made 500 gallons or more of soup out of all these different products that we couldn’t really save,” he says. Those soups ended up going to people in need of food. Similarly, Fine helped create Quarantine Cuisine, bringing produce to families who couldn’t afford fresh foods. In many ways, the pandemic has pushed restaurant owners to think creatively, strategize reopening, and take care of their employees and community. So, while Bradof felt anxious about all the unknowns of the future, he used the time during lockdown to make some changes. “We decided to look into changing our point-of-sale system at both locations,” Bradof says. According to Bradof, both Local and Trio had outdated systems, and the early part of the pandemic gave them time to update those and get their employees accustomed to the new platforms before reopening. Fine took the dining experience across borders and right into people’s homes through Goldbelly — Fine calls it the Amazon of the food world — by ramping up production for domestic shipping of Bovine + Swine products, Cream + Sugar treats and Osteria pizza. “That’s been a very, very cool thing, to be able to get into people’s homes and give them an experience of Jackson Hole back in wherever they’re coming from — Chicago, Kansas, Missouri, San Fran, New

York, wherever,” Fine says. In addition to his nationwide shipments, Fine wanted to make sure that the Jackson community still had access to their favorite restaurants even if they couldn’t dine out. He and staff members created quarantine kits for people to make their favorite meals and cocktails at home. So, if people were missing their favorite pasta or steak, they could order kits to cook in the comfort, and safety, of their homes. “I think cooking is such a joy to do and share together, so this was definitely an awesome endeavor,” Fine says. And like most restaurants around town, Fine’s now offer curbside pickup, takeout and catering.

Tips

FOR DINING OUT DURING COVID-19:

» Make dinner and lunch reservations. » Remember your masks. » Know before you go! Some hotels may not be taking outside guests at their dining outlets, so check before making plans. » Consider takeout. Plenty of Jackson Hole restaurants offer online ordering, and almost everywhere will do takeout. » Be patient. Restaurants are doing their best to accommodate as many guests as possible.

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

Likewise, Bradof revamped his eateries’ menus and access to them. Trio and Local have now developed pared-down pandemic menus for when they’re understaffed or overbooked. As a first-timer to the online ordering hub ChowNow, Bradof says he had to rethink everything and simplify menus so he wouldn’t overwhelm his staff. For 22-year-old Ulises Felipe Castro, a waiter at Bin22, this year has had its ups and downs. During the summer, he found himself working an exhausting seven days a week when a co-worker had to fly back to California to take care of her mother. Castro’s willingness and ability to step up when needed exemplifies the incredible dedication at every level of the restaurant industry. Castro started working in restaurants at age 14, and he’s done a stint at nearly every eatery in the Fine Dining Restaurant Group. Always treating others with respect and kindness, Castro has a special way of making both locals and visitors feel welcome. “I think people realize that if you’re having fun and treating people with respect, everything will be OK,” he says. Castro’s co-worker Frankie McCarthy, a waiter and bartender at Bin22, says wearing masks makes facial communication more important than ever. “Use your eyes,” he says. “Everyone can smile with their eyes.” For McCarthy, it’s bittersweet to have reduced seating capacity at the bar. While he misses the bar’s usual vibe, he says, it’s easier, on busy nights, to concentrate when running between tables and the bar. For him, the bar has transitioned from a social hub to a place to take a break from interacting with customers. While it’s been a time full of new challenges and changes, Fine looks ahead with confidence. He sees silver linings in the dark pandemic cloud: sanitary and health practices prioritized more than ever; creative technological ways restaurants can display their menus and offer ordering; new attention to detail in

takeout presentation and packaging; and, overall, more options for people to dine out while staying at home. “Those are positives that have come out of a negative situation,” Fine says. We caught up with Ashlee Nader, a managing partner at Cutty’s Bar and Grill, and she told us exactly how she keeps her staff and customers safe. According to Nader, she follows Teton County Health Department recommendations to a T. Every day, before anyone begins work, each employee signs a health waiver to make sure no one is experiencing any symptoms or irregular temperatures. In addition to staff health check-ins, Nader has changed restaurant protocol. All tables are spaced six feet apart from one another, hand sanitizers are placed everywhere throughout the restaurant, everyone is asked to wear masks, and the restaurant has switched to digital and disposable paper menus. For Nader, the transition over the past few months has been “a whole new ballgame.” Along with the increase in sanitation precautions, Nader says that staff members minimize their interactions with customers as much as possible. All tables are set with waters and menus before customers are seated, and servers take orders, deliver food and bring the check only while diners are seated. Then tables are bused and reset after customers leave. While Nader admits this is not the ideal dining experience, she does it to ensure safety as much as possible and reduce the amount of time employees spend at tables. Luckily for Cutty’s, adding online ordering was a pretty seamless transition. According to Nader, ChowNow is very user-friendly and efficient for takeout orders. Despite all the change that’s come at rapid speed, Nader says the circumstances of the pandemic have brought her restaurant family closer. “I think everyone’s in it together,” she says. “I think everybody’s just happy that we’re making money again and that we can be open.”

In the Kitchen with Luke Biewick The executive chef conquers mountains of work in the busy kitchen at Snake River Grill and as many climbing routes as he can fit in all year. by Allison Arthur and Lauren Teruya photos by Ashley Merritt

LUKE

Biewick wasn’t necessarily interested in food when, at age 17, he decided to go to Colorado Mountain College. “I wanted a ski pass, and my mom wanted me to go to school,” he says. But not long into his threeyear cooking apprentice program, he found himself enjoying being in the kitchen even more than on the mountain. “I got into fine dining early on and realized that it was what I wanted to do. The job is fast-paced, involves teamwork and the overall environment of the kitchen fits me well,” says the now 30-year-old executive chef at Snake River Grill. And, clearly, the work suits him well. As the new leader at one of Jackson’s most prestigious restaurants, Biewick feels more driven than ever before. “I’ve just started to touch the surface of what I can do here,” he said. “I’m just trying to get as much local produce in here as possible, and that’s been something that I’ve been able to kind of have free rein over, which is the nice part.” Biewick’s upbringing included exposure to both a mother who was passionate about gardening and relatives who hunted for their food. Both influence the chef’s preference to cook as locally and seasonally as he can. For the Grill’s winter menu, Biewick encourages guests who are looking for a regionally sourced meal to try the restaurant’s fresh fettuccine made with Montana Flour & Grain flour, Purely by Chance eggs, Star Valley lamb and Lark’s Meadow Farms cheese.

“That’s the beauty of our food — it’s that the seasonality forces our dishes to change, our flavors and everything, because we’re trying to go in that direction of supporting local as much as possible,” Biewick explains. We wanted to find out more about his passion for food and interviewed Biewick while he prepped for dinner service one night. YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH COOKING EARLY ON DURING YOUR SCHOOL APPRENTICESHIP AND GOT A JOB RIGHT AWAY. HOW DID YOU END UP IN WYOMING INSTEAD OF COLORADO?

I was at Alpenglow Stube in Keystone, and the executive chef for Grand Teton Lodge Co., who manages Jenny Lake Lodge and Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis, was eating there, and they recruited me. I Googled “Grand Tetons,” an image came up, and I was sold. I ended up here right after I graduated. BEFORE LANDING IN YOUR CURRENT POSITION, WHERE ELSE DID YOU WORK?

I was at Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis, Jenny Lake Lodge for five seasons, and also worked at Couloir and Piste. I left for a few years and worked for a larger catering business in Hawaii. The chef there worked with a lot of small farms, and it was where I really started to see the value of working with small farmers and minimiz[ing] food waste. IN YOUR FREE TIME, YOU…

I do a lot of climbing trips. I like to go to Red Rock outside of Vegas, Moab and Indian Creek. In the summer, I make time to do the occasional Guide’s Wall and climb the Grand. Last summer, I did the Cathedral Traverse.

A DAY-OFF MEAL INVOLVES…

I buy 90% of the food I eat at home from the markets and farm shares. I keep it very simple at home. Like a Mead Ranch rib-eye with potatoes. I like simple, whole foods that taste good. AND WHEN YOU GO OUT?

If I am climbing at Wild Iris in Lander, the Lander Bar is awesome. In Jackson, I love King Sushi and Gather. SINCE YOU ARE ALREADY AN EXECUTIVE CHEF, WHAT DO YOUR FUTURE PLANS INVOLVE?

My end goal would be to own my own restaurant. Ideally for smaller groups of people, and really push the local food as much as I can go. WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE CHEFS DOING?

I think there are a lot of barriers that a lot of chefs think they have, but there are so many ways around them. [For instance,] using a whole animal is a lot less work than they think.

SNAKE RIVER GRILL’S LUKE BIEWICK’S BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP 1/4 pound butter 6 large yellow or white onions 5 apples, peeled and diced 1 cup white wine 1/2 cup water 15 pounds butternut squash, peeled and roasted 2 cups brown sugar 2 gallons milk 2 tablespoons coriander, toasted 2 cinnamon sticks, toasted 1/8 cup salt 2 cups heavy cream Lemon slices for garnish > Add half the butter and onions to a large pot over medium-high heat and sauté until wilted and slightly browned. Reduce the heat to medium and deglaze the pan with the wine and water while stirring. Add the squash, brown sugar, milk, coriander, cinnamon sticks and salt and cook for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture over a fine sieve and add it back to the pan. Whisk in the cream and check seasoning. Serve with lemon slices.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING AT SNAKE RIVER GRILL?

It feels good just to see how many people know about the Grill. I love working with the front of house here. It’s definitely the most experienced service staff in the valley that I’ve worked with. And it’s a lot of fun to be able to spend about $1,100 a week with Rafe Rivers (of Canewater Farm) and see a local farmer, who’s new to the valley, and me, being able to turn such a good amount of volume for them.

CLIMBING SNACK OF CHOICE?

WE ALWAYS LIKE TO ASK CHEFS WHAT ONE THING IS THEY MIGHT BE EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT THEY EAT. WHAT IS YOURS?

Nothing special. Meat sticks, energy chews and jerky from Sweet Cheeks Meats.

After living in Hawaii, I still eat Vienna sausages and Spam. DISHINGJH.COM

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: This story was shot during much sunnier, pre-COVID-19 times. We hope it provides inspiration for what we would all love to get back to doing, next summer.

A warm midsummer night and quiet property on the Snake River provided the backdrop to mix fancy with fabulous. A custom pallet table was dressed with gorgeous tableware and finished with pillows, rather than chairs, with the help of local event stylist Emily Lacoste. The meal was as simple as a taco but as exciting as the spicy habanero slaw and nopal guacamole served alongside. And the drinks to wash it down were served in crystal glassware and dipped in Tajín seasoning.

The last act, the final hurrah — desserts are the decadent finish to any meal. Unfortunately, we often find ourselves too full for this final course. The solution: a dessert drink!

Don’t deprive yourself of something sweet: Drink your dessert. Cheers!

Don’t Desert

DESSERT When you might be too full for dessert, opt for a sweet drink instead.

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

Amangani ’s Gros Ventre Slide

At first sip, you’ll notice a unique smokiness emanating from this cocktail, thanks to the Laphroaig rinse on the martini glass. Laphroaig is a single malt Scotch whisky, but here it lends more of a nose than a flavor to the drink. Rather, the Gros Ventre Slide is a full-bodied rum cocktail with a smooth and silky vanilla coffee mouthfeel. It comes with Tia Maria, Tuaca and half-and-half in a martini glass that is garnished with crushed espresso beans. There’s no better way to finish strong.

Ascent Lounge’s Lychee Does It

Similar to grapes in texture, although slightly more acidic, lychees are native to Asia. By itself, the lychee has a lovely flavor, but when incorporated into a cocktail, it brings a balance of sweetness and tartness that doesn’t overwhelm the palate. Interestingly, this cocktail combines lychee with Beefeater Gin, lemon juice, Calpico and black pepper simple syrup. Calpico is a fermented milk drink but is light and only somewhat milky. In this cocktail, it contributes a creamy smoothness that rounds out the fruit flavor from the lychee. The spice from the black pepper offers a final note that will entice your curiosity to venture another sip.

The Blue Lion’s After-Dinner Pick-Me-Ups

At the completion of your dining experience, it’s easy to hear the siren song of your couch cushions. This is why many dessert drinks incorporate coffee and espresso to return your energy level to its norm, while also aiding in digestion. The big, bold coffee flavors you may welcome in your morning cup of joe can be mellowed out with the essences of different liquors. For a minty fresh feeling, try The Blue Lion’s Irish coffee with Irish whiskey, sugar, green crème de menthe and a spiral of whipped cream. The Keoke Coffee is lent a more smoky flavor with Korbel brandy and Kahlúa in the mix.

Snake River Grill ’s Goodnight Sweetheart

Created years ago by longtime Snake River Grill bartender Mark Rollans, Goodnight Sweetheart is available upon request. Now that you’re in the know, you’ll always want to indulge in this lavish liquid concoction. Vodka, Baileys Irish Cream, Frangelico and Kahlúa combine to create a sip so delicious you won’t realize its inner strength. Individually, these liqueurs have slightly different flavor profiles, but together, they really meld well. The Frangelico’s hazelnut aroma and flavor has the richness to cut through the bold coffee flavors of Kahlúa while highlighting the exotic vanilla notes of the Baileys.

Glorietta’s Once Is Enough

A classic White Russian is made with vodka, Kahlúa and cream, but Glorietta’s interpretation is anything but ordinary. With meticulous detail from start to finish, this cocktail is served in a chipped coupe glass. The different flavors are layered in the glass for an overall sip that is delicate and delicious. Vodka and Kahlúa are on the bottom, with a Cointreauinfused cream on top. While a White Russian is milky and sweet, Once Is Enough cuts through the heaviness of the cream with the subtlest hint of orange. It goes down so smooth that one round might not actually be enough.

Silver Dollar Bar & Grill ’s Nuts & Berries and Tropical Twist

Sure, the Silver Dollar Bar & Grill has a chocolate martini to tempt all chocoholics, but what should really get you curious are the Nuts & Berries dessert cocktail and the Tropical Twist. Feel like a forager with the simple yet perfectly paired flavors of Frangelico and Chambord married with cream in the Nuts & Berries. But if you’re dreaming of combining your mountain getaway with a tropical escape, get the best of both worlds in the Tropical Twist. The mountains may be your backdrop, but the coconut vodka, Kahlúa, cream and nutmeg in this dessert drink are as warm and vibrant as the Caribbean sun.

Trio’s Irish Coffee

For a proper Irish coffee, you must try Trio’s. Nondenominational Irish whiskey is incorporated into coffee alongside cream and Demerara simple syrup. Inherently, most simple syrups come with a sugarsweet connotation. However, Demerara, also known as turbinado, is a minimally refined sugar. The drink’s achieved sweetness is richer in flavor while its overall sweetness is kept fairly low to give the drink a drier characteristic than most dessert beverages have. Finally, fresh cinnamon garnishes the drink for a fancy finish.

Orsetto’s Espresso & Amaro

Amaro often adorns lists of Italian after-dinner digestifs. Among numerous varieties, Orsetto utilizes the Amaro Averna. Made in Sicily, this bittersweet liqueur is full-bodied and delivers a smooth taste. In this instance, it is combined with vodka and espresso. The boldness of Snake River Roasters’ White Spider Espresso is balanced by the Averna’s bitterness. This espresso blend evokes hints of dark chocolate and raw coconut.

Gather’s P B&J

The tried-and-true flavors of peanut butter and jelly creatively inspire this drink. But while your favorite childhood sandwich is simple and easy, the components of this cocktail are quite sophisticated. Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey combines an already unlikely duo: the bold, loud taste of whiskey with the rich and smooth flavor of your favorite late-night craving. To bring fruit notes into all that richness, this cocktail employs Chambord, a sweet and fruity premium black raspberry liqueur. The third player in this party is Cappelletti Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro. With a name that is quite the mouthful, its flavor is one to match, twisting together delicate berry fruit flavors and bitter rhubarb.

EXCLUSIVE AT-HOME EXPERIENCES Glorietta Trattoria’s Grilled Bone Marrow Although once considered a scrap used only for soups and stocks, bone marrow has recently come into vogue. Popping up in luxury restaurants all around the world, bone marrow is a rich, fatty and delicious cut that is served, as the name implies, in the bone and eaten with a spoon. Glorietta Trattoria, our local authentic Italian restaurant, serves grilled bone marrow accompanied by acidic foods such as peppadew jam, pickled shallots and microherbs to help cut the fattiness of the marrow. If you are not happy enough after consuming most of the marrow, order a shot of Wyoming Whiskey and pour it through the bone to wash down the remaining marrow. You’re in the Wild West, so you might as well!

Westbank Grill’s Seafood Tower There aren’t many places that can pull off a classy yet subtle feeling of luxury like the Four Seasons. The combination of its slopeside location, tasteful art, beautiful décor, outstanding service and delectable cuisine makes me feel like I better be celebrating something special. In particular, its Westbank Grill makes an occasion even more memorable by serving a variety of dishes that are perfect for any celebration. For those who savor seafood, you can’t go wrong with The “Grand” Tower, which is made with king crab legs, Maine lobster tail, snow crab claws, jumbo shrimp, oysters, tuna tartare, apple cider mignonette, cocktail sauce, mango

Want a restaurant-quality experience, but delivered to your door so you don’t have to do a thing? Order a meal from Provisions. The chefs create weekly seasonal specials and deliver around the valley on a schedule. Everything from salads to entrées and desserts are on the menu, but if you want something more specific, private chef services are available too.

Piste Mountain Dining’s Locavore Meal Picture yourself eating sashimi while drinking a delicious craft cocktail. Nice, eh? Now picture yourself doing this at 9,095 feet while taking in stellar views of the valley far below. Welcome to Piste Mountain Bistro, and say hello to a restaurant that has superb food to pair with the view. With greens from Vertical Harvest and Carter Country Meats, as well as locally made 460 Bread, you know you are eating fresh food even from the top of a mountain. The menu is inventive, and the wagyu hanger steak pairs brilliantly with views of the valley. I recommend riding up the Bridger Gondola early and enjoying a drink at the bar before sitting down for your grand dining experience.

Old Yellowstone Garage’s Unexpected Pairings

Sudachi and SUDA Izakaya’s Eastern Options Sudachi and its newer baby sister (but bigger restaurant), SUDA Izakaya, offer unforgettable and very different Japanese dining experiences. At Sudachi, the sushi chefs offer an omakase dinner, which, for those who don’t know, is a Japanese dining experience that translates to “I will leave it up to you.” This experience is for those bold diners who are open to putting their meal entirely in the hands of the chef. On this journey, you will be treated to rare (in both senses of the word) and high-end fish from Japan and Hawaii. There are also accompaniments from worldwide selections of nigiri and sashimi (including truffles and caviar), as well as small marinated (tsukemono) and grilled (yakimono) dishes and choices of amazing wines and sake. My advice: Brave the dark so you can see the light! At SUDA Izakaya, you can experience a more well-rounded Japanese chef ’s tasting menu. Although still featuring raw fish, this menu focuses on skewered meats and veg (kushiyaki), perfectly fried dishes (agemono), sashimi and rolls (makimono). SUDA also has a variety of well-rounded cocktails and a wonderful list of the perfect Izakaya accompaniment: Shōchū!

Old Yellowstone Garage is a restaurant that really gets around. It opened nearly 20 years ago in a humble location in DuBois, then relocated to a swankier downtown Jackson location. After a successful run there for many years, it closed when the owners moved to Italy. But lo and behold, OYG has come to the mountain and is now located inside Caldera House at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Chef Jeremy Williamson has taken up the old tools of OYG’s trade but has tuned them up into modern versions of themselves. Find things like elk carpaccio, Wyoming Whiskey onion soup, bone marrow with pesto and fried capers — you get the picture. Pair any of OYG’s unique dishes with one of the many natural and organic wines they offer, or one of their top-shelf cocktails.

Rendezvous Bistro’s Oysters When thinking “celebration,” the image that often comes to mind is a platter of oysters and a glass of Champagne. If that is your go-to idea for commemorating a success or milestone, then head to Rendezvous Bistro. Each day they offer a variety of fresh oysters. At the neighborhood bistro, you don’t have to know which varieties are freshest when or which coast they come from — the seasoned professional servers have already vetted all this for you and have presented their bounty on ice. So, all you have to do is decide how many you want to consume, and they’ll do the rest for you. Rendezvous Bistro offers happy hour every day from 5:306:30 p.m. with half-off drinks and $2 oysters in the bar. For the bubbly, you can get sparkling wine or the real French deal by the glass, or pick from the restaurant’s varieties by the bottle. This classic Jackson Hole eatery makes the perfect place to indulge and celebrate while maintaining its charm, approachability and affordability.

Wow With Some Wines LOCAL WINE SHOP OWNER AND COLLECTOR KATRINA RYAN (OF WESTSIDE WINE & SPIRITS) HELPED US CURATE THIS LIST OF HARDER-TO-FIND WINES WITH INPUT FROM SOME OF HER FAVORITE SOMMELIERS AROUND TOWN.

It is definitely special occasion-worthy and is known to be one of the best sakes you’ll ever taste. WESTBANK GRILL Marcel Lapierre — Lapierre Cuvée An amazing wine from France’s Beaujolais region known for its ability to combine ripeness with freshness and acidity. It is always limited and never sticks around. The Westbank Grill receives only six bottles a year, and while it is not the most expensive wine, it is unique. SNAKE RIVER GRILL Sine Qua Non Any wine by Sine Qua Non is worth getting your hands on and is super hard to find because of its limited production. Snake River Grill has both red and white varietals on their list. OSTERIA Biondi-Santi a Brunello di Montalcino This prestigious wine is known all over the world for its complex and robust characteristics and is among the top percent in ratings. The producer is one of the best, and it is exciting to see it on a wine list.

Fear not FAT

ONCE UPON A TIME, not too long ago, the culinary world had a clear villain: fat. People shunned foods with high densities of fat and opted for reduced-fat versions of favorite foods. From low-fat salad dressings to fat-free desserts, eschewing this nutritional element was a priority for the most health-conscious diners. Ironically, as Expedition Eats Nutrition’s Tory Cameron is quick to point out, the fervor for fat avoidance may have actually made many people less healthy. “When fat was demonized, people started eating more

People used to avidly avoid eating fat, but more research and diets encourage getting enough of it into your daily meals. By MELISSA THOMASMA Photos by JAY NEL-MCINTOSH sugar, refined carbs and processed ‘low fat’ foods. In turn, the world has become fatter and sicker. However, in recent years, studies have shown that fat, including saturated fat, is not the food we should be avoiding. Dietary fats are important for many reasons, such as cell growth, energy and satiation. By including more fats in our diet, we will eat more flavorful food, eat less and live a healthier lifestyle.” Fortunately for our health as well as for our palates, people are approaching fat with renewed enthusiasm. “What would

vinaigrette be without olive oil, sausage without pork fat, a baked potato without sour cream, a croissant without butter? Pointless, that’s what,” writes chef Samin Nosrat in her celebrated cookbook Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. “Without the flavors and textures that fat makes possible, food would be immeasurably less pleasurable to eat. In other words, fat is essential for achieving the full spectrum of flavors and textures of good cooking.” Not only are fats key to crafting delicious dishes, but they’re also important for optimal health. Mary Ryan, nutritionist at Beyond Broccoli Nutrition Counseling and Education, explains that fats are critical for a variety of bodily systems. “Fats are important for several functions in the body, and our brains are roughly 60% fat. We need fats to make hormones that regulate several body processes, and the omega-3 fats that we can’t make, and therefore must get from food, are important for mood, immune function and heart health.” Ryan points out that monounsaturated fats like those found

in avocados, seeds and nuts are plentiful in what are considered some of the world’s most well-balanced diets, including the Mediterranean diet and the Okinawan diet, among others. The increasing popularity of diets like keto and paleo are supporting this trend, too. “The basis of the keto diet is a high-fat/lowcarbohydrate eating plan that emphasizes high-quality oils, grass-fed meats and cheeses, and nuts,” explains Cameron. “The diet has definitely gained popularity over the past year and is encouraging people to eat more fat.” Cameron and Ryan say that these popular dietary trends have both benefits and drawbacks. “I like that paleo gets people thinking more about whole and minimally processed foods, and of course if you are paying attention to how your body feels, that is often helpful,” says Ryan. However, they’re both quick to warn that these diets can have negative impacts and are by no means a blank check to eat exclusively high-fat foods. “When people are rigidly following a ketotype diet, there are many negative side effects for everyday living, and it does not seem to support healthy gut microbiota with the lack of fiber-rich plant foods,” observes Ryan. Cameron agrees: “We need to remember that although fat is extremely beneficial, it should only amount to 30% of our daily caloric intake.”

As people are more interested in incorporating the right amount of healthy, high-quality fats into their everyday diets, Jackson Hole restaurants are responding accordingly. “Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, fatty fish, nuts and grass-fed cheeses are all great examples of fat-containing foods that you should be including in your diet. I think this trend is coming through in restaurants focused on health, such as Cultivate Cafe and Healthy Being Café & Juicery. These restaurants use high-quality oils in their cooking and aim to use grass-fed meats and cheeses in their dishes,” says Cameron.

“As with every ingredient we choose at Healthy Being, we only work with the bestquality, minimally processed fats including olives and olive oil, avocados and avocado oil, coconut and coconut oil, nuts and seeds, whole eggs, full-fat yogurt, wild salmon and more,” says Jessica Vandenbroeke, founder of Healthy Being Café & Juicery. “These are the fats that have been proven to be heartand brain-protective as well as supportive for the microbiome. Since we only use these high-quality, clean ingredients, we know our health bases are covered, so we can focus on taste and how the flavors dance with

the ingredients of each dish we create.” Vandenbroeke says that fats are critical to the nutritional integrity of many dishes, but are also fundamental to satisfying and wellbalanced flavor profiles. “Fat makes food taste better, keeps your body satiated longer, and some nutrients work synergistically with fat to be more bioavailable,” Vandenbroeke explains. “Some of these fats are more neutral in flavor and some bring a strong flavor profile on their own, so the fat or oil we select depends on what we need to bring to the party for any given dish.” And diners are enthusiastic about including these high-quality, healthy fats into their diets, whether they’re fully embracing a keto lifestyle or not. “We have seen many guests seeking keto and paleo menu options, of which we have many on our menu. The best strategy, and our philosophy, is always that there is not one magic way of eating or ‘diet’ that is best for everyone or even for one person for their entire life,” says Vandenbroeke. Amelia Hatchard, owner of Streetfood at the Stagecoach and Butter Cafe, has managed her own health though embracing a low-carb diet for the majority of her life. “Diabetes runs heavily in my family, and my parents were able to stay off of medication for years by eating low-carb,” she says. By prioritizing whole foods that have high fat content, she has managed to avoid supplemental insulin, too. “Eggs, cheeses, meats, fish, nuts and green vegetables are the cornerstone of the diet,” Hatchard explains. She’s not alone in recognizing the inherent healthfulness of these food categories. “The world is also realizing how bad packaged, processed foods are, and I see people going back toward how things were pre-war, when

meals were home-cooked and real foods were used.” Hatchard also makes sure that there are options on her menus that are available to people prioritizing healthy fats and low-carbohydrate choices. “I definitely understand the struggle of going to restaurants and finding something to eat. The biggest thing that influences us is our belief, in both [eateries], that we are never going to limit changes to the menu as long as things are possible. I always try and incorporate options: At Butter we have a frittata that without its potatoes is a great keto breakfast, and a Cobb salad at lunch with bacon, smoked trout and blue cheese.”

“BUTTER IS REAL, AND IT DOES MAKE THINGS BETTER.” —AMELIA HATCHARD “I always try to explain to people that eating real food is the first obstacle that we have, before getting into organic and farmfresh. Let’s at least get to a point where we are taking real ingredients to make our meals,” advocates Hatchard. Leaving behind highly processed foods that are packed with sugar, salt and other additives is becoming more popular. Speaking about her cafe’s namesake ingredient, butter, Hatchard is pleased to see the return of real butter in place of alternatives. “Most people now see how bad margarine actually is, whereas 10 years ago, that is what doctors suggested, so getting away from processed foods and using real, fresh ingredients makes butter popular again,” she says. “Butter is real, and it does make things better.”

Tokyo-to-Jackson Hole transplants Yuka and Tom Quantrille use their Wilson home to grill and make elaborate desserts. by Allison Arthur photos by Aaron Kraft

before Yuka and Tom Quantrille moved to Jackson Hole last year, they fell in love with and bought the house where they now live full time near the bottom of Teton Pass. The location at the end of a cul-de-sac with only a few neighbors nearby is secluded but still within walking distance of downtown Wilson. Yuka knew that she wanted an open-floor plan for the kitchen and a functional space that was easy to clean.

She had been running a custom cookie and cake business in Tokyo and hoped to continue her baking career in Jackson Hole. The Quantrilles remodeled the kitchen with smooth quartz countertops, which are easy to clean, and added a banquette off to the side where they often hang out. There is a lot of storage space but still plenty of room for the couple and their two teenage kids to move around. The design firm Trauner Fay helped the couple with the look of the redesign. DISHINGJH.COM

GREAT GRILL:

The Komodo Kamado grills weigh as much as 600 pounds each and can hold their temperature for 24 hours. They can also be decorated with custom tiles. Tom cooks everything from pulled pork to smashed burgers on these Indonesian grills.

“The kitchen was in very good condition, but it had some sort of texture and it had a bar that was separating the areas,” says Yuka. “I really like it open and with all the added storage.” To make the kitchen friendlier for Yuka’s baking business, Wilson Custom Cakes, they added both an oversized and a convection oven to the existing appliances so she could have several baking projects going on at one time. While Yuka does most of the baking and cooking, Tom is often in charge of grilling/smoking and barbecuing meats, which he does on one of two impressive outdoor grills he brought with him from Tokyo, called Komodo Kamados.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WILSON CUSTOM CAKES

YUKA FIRST GOT INTO BAKING AFTER AN INJURY PREVENTED HER FROM RUNNING, A HOBBY SHE HAD SPENT A LOT OF HER FREE TIME DOING. SHE TOOK ONLINE CLASSES AND WORKED ON HER TRADE FOR YEARS TO PERFECT THE INTRICATE CAKES AND COOKIES SHE CREATES. “THIS SORT OF CAKE IS NOT THE NORM IN TOKYO,” SHE SAYS, SO SHE WASN’T SURE IF THE ENDEAVOR WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL, BUT HER FOLLOWING QUICKLY GREW. SHE HAD A PASSION FOR CHALLENGES AND LEARNING NEW THINGS, AND FELL IN LOVE WITH DESIGNING AND DECORATING CAKES. YUKA HAS ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN ART AND WORKED ON CULTIVATING A STYLE THAT WAS ALL HER OWN. SHE HAS CREATED CUSTOM-DESIGNED BIRTHDAY CAKES WITH UNIQUELY CREATIVE STYLES. SHE GENERALLY MAKES A VANILLA OR CHOCOLATE SPONGE CAKE WITH GANACHE AND/OR BUTTERCREAM, THEN DECORATES IT WITH FONDANT. EACH DESIGN TAKES TWO TO THREE DAYS FROM START TO FINISH.

FLOUR POWER:

When not baking, Yuka alternates between cooking Asian and American meals for her family of four.

> MEANWHILE, HEAT THE CREAM IN A POT ON THE STOVETOP OVER MEDIUM TO MEDIUM-HIGH HEAT UNTIL STEAM IS JUST BEGINNING TO RISE FROM THE SURFACE. DON’T LET THE CREAM COME TO A BOIL. POUR THE HOT CREAM OVER THE HALFMELTED CHOCOLATE IN THE GLASS BOWL. MAKE SURE THE CHOCOLATE STAYS SUBMERGED UNDER THE CREAM, AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. THEN, WHISK THE CREAM AND CHOCOLATE TOGETHER WITH A SPATULA UNTIL THE MIXTURE IS SMOOTH. START WITH SMALL CIRCLES IN THE CENTER OF THE BOWL UNTIL THE CHOCOLATE AND CREAM START EMULSIFYING, THEN MOVE OUTWARD. IF YOU HAVE LUMPS OR UNMELTED CHOCOLATE, YOU CAN PUT THE MIXTURE IN THE MICROWAVE AND HEAT IT IN 10-SECOND SPURTS, BEING CAREFUL NOT TO OVERHEAT THE CHOCOLATE, WHICH CAN BURN, UNTIL THE MIXTURE IS SMOOTH. ALTERNATELY, YOU CAN USE AN IMMERSION BLENDER TO MAKE YOUR GANACHE SUPER CREAMY AND LUMP-FREE. WHEN THE CHOCOLATE-CREAM MIXTURE IS FULLY INCORPORATED (YOU NOW HAVE GANACHE!), COVER IT WITH PLASTIC WRAP AND LET IT SETTLE TO ROOM TEMPERATURE OVERNIGHT.

From the moment we bit into the welcome cookie during the van ride to The Resort at Paws Up, we knew we were in for a sweet treat. Then when we rolled into our deluxe “camp” and were escorted to our “tent” by the camp butlers. Our “tent” was complete with luxurious linens, of course, as well as a full bathroom, and even air-conditioning, and we also found an Amazon Alexa device to enable us to easily schedule an activity, grab a ride to the main campus or let us fight over music by the Wu-Tang Clan or Hall & Oates. Not long after arriving, we hopped on the bikes waiting nearby and rode to a swimming hole on the adjacent river with a couple of local beers in hand. After that, it was Trip On, and we fell in love with the resort over the next three days.

While we don’t mind roughing it while taking a quick camping trip in Jackson Hole (and by roughing it, I mean sleeping on an air mattress in a family-size pop-up tent), a vacation calls for something a little more luxurious. Within a half-day’s drive from Jackson Hole, Paws Up offers more than Montana’s quintessential big skies. An expansive ranch houses a wide variety of guest activities and experiences, as well as multiple types of lodging to meet the needs of different parties, regardless of size, from couples to large families or groups — all while fulfilling your every foodie desire.

From the moment you wake up, coffee is waiting for you by a fire and a river streams past in the background. While you relax over a seasonal smoothie, the camp chef skillfully prepares your made-to-order breakfast over a riverside grill. Local huckleberry pancakes are a highlight not to miss, and don’t hesitate to fill up since a full day’s adventure is in store. Lunch is had, at your convenience between activities, in the centrally located Trough Restaurant. Sit outside and enjoy the view of the lively yard and order off the menu, or help yourself to the daily taco bar buffet selection, which is manned by a chef making homemade tortillas fresh to order. The resort’s Executive Chef Sunny Jin doesn’t fade into the background here either. You will find him owning the grilling station at nightly events and ensuring your dining is top-notch. Having worked at Michelin-starred spots like The French Laundry and El Bulli, Jin brings a talent to the resort that you would expect to find in some of the world’s best restaurants. He has a passion for securing food as regionally and seasonally as possible, even when feeding a crowd, and you will see that shine through in details like local greens and meats that come

from nearby farms. One essential experience is the resort’s chuckwagon dinner. Not only is it a feast of all your favorites (think grilled meats, summer salads, cornbread and, of course, cobbler), just watching the chefs man the open-fire grill is a sight to see. There is also the quieter option, if you want to relax and not mingle, of dining at Pomp Restaurant. Select a special bottle from an extensive wine cellar or order a craft cocktail from Tank Bar. Anyone staying at the luxury camps can also choose to try local dishes like whole roasted rainbow trout at their camp’s dining pavilion. If you can still fit in more food at the end of the day, the perfect way to unwind is by your campfire with a smorgasbord of s’mores. While the standard marshmallows and chocolate bars are on the platter, so are a variety of more unusual toppings, like peanut butter cups and Nutella, that will take your s’mores up a notch or two.

can easily fill a week’s worth of activities into each day with morning and afternoon sessions. Because there are so many activities to choose from, none of the groups are too large and each is designed to pair people of similar ability levels. In the winter you can try your hand at curling on an outdoor rink then hone your biathlon skills in the afternoon, and be sure to squeeze in a session at the tube park in between.

In addition to all the ranch activities, in the summer there is a new Island Lodge at Salmon Lake experience. Just a short drive away you can find full- or half-day excursions to a gorgeous lodge on a private island in the middle of a mountain lake. Wakeboard, paddleboard, swim to the trampoline platform or just soak up the scenery from your own private deck while the helpful staff keeps your drinks topped off and your stomach full of treats.

Rockman will be on hand to make this the sweetest holiday celebration yet, and you’re invited to get your hands flour-y. Kids can build a gingerbread house that rivals your luxury guest home, and you’ll learn the secrets of baking the perfect cookie during live demonstrations from one of the coun-

TOP TO BOTTOM FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN REFUEL THIS WINTER AT JACKSON HOLE MOUNTAIN RESORT.

We all know that COVID-19 has (hopefully temporarily) changed the way things operate this winter. But never fear — the waffles (and so much more) will still be here! Read on for some expert dining tips and to find out what to expect from food and beverage outlets at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort this winter.

In-restaurant dining will be capped at 50%, so:

Check your app, JH Insider. Here you can make reservations at Piste, check occupancy at Rendezvous and Casper restaurants, preorder pickup food from RPK 3 and Café 6311, and get expanded grab-and-go options at other spots.

Enjoy more outdoor seating:

Look for new dining and warming tents at the base and at midmountain, where you can eat your takeout meals and social distance at the same time.

Dine and dash:

You can order from any outlet at the Village for grab-and-go through JH Insider or via scannable QR codes you will find easily available around dining outlets. Corbet’s Cabin will be carryout only, but you can also find their famous waffles at Off Piste, too.

The general rule:

Menus will be streamlined for quick service. You will find mobile ordering, touchless payments and even cocktails to go if spaces are filled. If you can preplan, make a reservation at Piste.

New this season:

In addition to the heated outdoor tents, find a ski-in-ski-out vending system near the bottom of Sublette lift called Bear Flats, and an additional ordering counter at Casper Restaurant on the downhill, slope-side area of the building.

Please know:

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is prioritizing safety, as always, and following county, state, and CDC guidelines for dining and more. Group size allowed will be dictated by regulations.

COELETTE Modern mountain cuisine in a historic, but reinvented, cabin Brunch Sat. & Sun., lunch and dinner Wed.–Sun. | 85 S. King St. 307.201.5026 | coelette.com Making a splash on the valley’s restaurant scene is this establishment brought to life by local business owners Ali and Kevin Cohane. Ben Westenberg’s “snowline” cuisine is a brilliant blend of innovation and tradition and is a reflection of the culinary traditions and ingredients found in the high alpine environment. There is a true commitment here to the valley’s farms and ranches and the people who run them. House curing, pickling, fermenting and candying are all part of the program. The bar, led by Denver-trained Nic “Lazz,” parallels the direction of the kitchen. The first-class cocktail list is diverse and inspired — try the winter squash Manhattan, made with house-infused rye, Pasubio amaro, Cointreau, bitters and a house-candied squash as a garnish. The cabin in which the restaurant resides was originally built in 1915, as a residence to a local couple, Ed and Emily Coe.
