3 cups (24 ounces) ricotta
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 cups spinach, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 cup Parmesan
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 package puff pastry dough with 2 pieces
Egg wash (1 egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon water)
Put ricotta in a sieve or colander to drain. In a large skillet, heat oil and cook spinach until wilted, about two minutes. Stir in garlic and a bit of salt and cook until spinach is very dry. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Discard the liquid after it sits.
In a food processor, puree drained ricotta and eggs until smooth. Add to the bowl with spinach and fold in the cheeses, parsley, salt & pepper, nutmeg & red pepper flakes. Lay the first piece of dough out onto a floured surface
and roll to a 14-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch springform pan, pressing the dough up the sides of the pan. Spread the filling into the crust evenly.
Roll out second piece of dough to a 12-inch circle, cut into 1/2-inch wide strips and weave into a lattice on top of the filling. Seal and crimp the edges. Brush the top with the egg wash. Place onto a sheet pan and bake at 375 degrees until crisp and brown, 50-60 minutes. Cool at least 40 minutes before serving.

Sometimes, there’s no substitute for queso dip that comes in a jar.

I make an extravagant fondue spread for friends and family. It is one of my favorite meals of the season. While it is hard to beat simple bread and cheese, I always make it a full meal by adding as many dipping options as possible (fruit, pickles, smoked and grilled meats and steamed veggies).
So, when we worked on this issue’s Outside the Kitchen, I was really excited to see what the Provisions chefs brought to the table. As always, they did not disappoint. See page 52 for details.
Like they did, I generally make two different kinds of cheese dipping sauces, and every year the following is an absolute favorite. If you don’t get an opportunity to have the Provisions chefs cook for you, this recipe is something fun to try at home. Low Spark Fondue is new to Jackson this winter and also offers an elevated, in-home fondue experience.
The fondue will always appear to be too thin, but follow the recipe and it will thicken up at the very end.

After graduating with a degree in communicative disorders/speech pathology, Mary Margaret Pittman moved to Jackson in 2014 after visiting, and falling in love with, the place. When not working, she loves to be on the river, soak in the hot springs and go camping. Originally from the South, Pittman has a passion for good food that began with her grandmother’s Southern home-cooked meals and her dad’s New Orleans-style restaurant. She started in the service industry as a toddler!
You started at Dishing about six months ago. What are a few things you have learned about restaurants in Jackson Hole since then?
I have the chance to work with lots of fun, talented and driven people. Jackson is a diverse culinary community. I am making good friends who work hard and play hard. It feels like life in the fast lane.
You used to work at The Bird. Anything you miss about being on the other side of the service industry?
I miss regularly interacting with all walks of life, and it’s rewarding to get through
a shift and make people happy, so I still fill in from time to time. I love to see people enjoy things I can offer them and make them have a wonderful experience.
What is one thing a customer should never do?
Be rude and impatient. Servers do the best we can.
In this issue we feature bison five ways. What restaurants in town do you think are particularly innovative with meat and game?
It’s not game, but when I am in the mood to eat meat, the steak tartare pizza at Snake River Grill is the best.
What are a couple of your favorite spots to hit up on a day off and what do you order?
I go to Bin22 for girls’ happy hour, Eleanor’s on a game day, King Sushi for date night, Streetfood after activities and Glorietta on any night of the week.
Any tips you might have on dining out in Jackson Hole during the winter?

Every time I get to visit Jackson, Snake River Grill is always a must! On my last visit, they had a new kale-mushroom dish as a starter, and I am dying to bring it back home to the East Coast.
2 large onions, thinly sliced
3 large shallots, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 ounces olive oil
1 ounce fresh thyme
1/2 pound butter
1 pound mixed oyster mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 pint breadcrumbs
1 pound lacinato kale, stemmed, cleaned and roughly chopped
1 pint heavy cream
1 packed pint shredded, meltable cheese
Lemon juice as needed Salt as needed Bread, for serving
> In a saucepot, cover the onions halfway with water and bring to a boil. Let the onions simmer until the water evaporates, then turn down the heat to low and cook until caramelized. Heat oven to 375 F. In a separate pot over medium-high heat, add the shallots, garlic, olive
oil, half of the butter, thyme and mushrooms. Once the mushrooms start to brown, season with salt. Turn down the heat to medium-low and slowly roast the mushrooms until very tender.
While the mushrooms are roasting, place the breadcrumbs in a mixing bowl with the rest of the butter and mix until the butter is evenly dispersed. Reserve. Once the
mushrooms are done, remove the thyme sprigs and add the kale to the pot. Cook the kale until just tender. Turn the heat to high and add the cream. Reduce until it coats the back of a spoon. Be sure to stir the pot occasionally to ensure the ingredients don’t stick to the bottom and burn. Once the cream is reduced, add the cheese and mix. The result should be a rich, cheesy

SUDA Izakaya’s Matthew Sales has worked for years to perfect this simple, yet complex dish.
by Allison Arthur photos by Helena HermosilloIt is such an art form, and it takes years to master,” says Matthew Sales, who has been working on the discipline for the last four years. “There are so many variables that go into making a good ramen.”
In Sales’ opinion, it’s all about taking your time and doing things right at each step along the way. From the homemade broth to perfectly bouncy noodles, “You just can’t rush it,” he says.
Tasting each component, chopping the toppings in the same size and being patient with each step will lead you to a balanced and carefully constructed bowl of ramen, he advises. “As much as you want it to be done, you just can’t rush it. Take your time and focus on the flavor.”
At SUDA, they make a miso and a shoyu (soy) ramen, which are both very popular menu items. “I think the joy and happiness you get from ramen is what is rewarding,” says Sales. “It is kind of a euphoric feel — so happy and satisfying. My stomach feels loved.”
Generally ramen is flavored with shoyu, shio (salt) or miso.
These add depth to your bowls. Chiles, black garlic, chiyu (chicken fat) and negi (Japanese green onions) are common options.
Ramen noodles vary from thin to thick and from wavy to straight.
There are several ways to do broth. The main ones are chintan, which is a clear, lighter soup, or paitan, which is a creamier broth.
The additions to the bowl complement the soup. Common examples include green onions, soft-boiled eggs, seaweed, pork belly, corn and mushrooms.
At SUDA, they prefer Sun Noodle products.
For the dashi (soup stock):
• 2 tablespoons bonito flakes
• 1 1/2 quarts water
• 1 piece (about size of your palm) kombu
Tip: Source good, Japanese ingredients and use quality meats.
Place all ingredients in a pot and bring to a slow simmer, being careful not to boil. Cook for about 45 minutes, or until the mixture reduces to about a quart. Strain it and add it back to a large pot.
For the miso broth:
• 2 quarts chicken broth
• 1 quart dashi
• 1/4 cup red miso paste
• 1/2 cup of white miso paste
Tip: Never boil the mixture once the miso is added. It will kill all the probiotics.
Bring the chicken broth and dashi to a simmer. Taste and add soy if needed. Strain the miso paste through a chinois into the broth and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Tip: SUDA makes their own broth, and it is rich with chicken skin and fat but strained of any solids.
To assemble (proportions to taste):
• Green onion (green part only), thinly sliced
• Wakame, sliced
• Soy-braised mushrooms, sliced
• Sesame seeds
• Soft-boiled egg, peeled and cooled in a soy mixture
• Pork belly, thinly sliced
• Cooked ramen noodles
• Miso broth
Add broth to a bowl, then layer in noodles and top with toppings. Serve immediately.
THISwinter, Spur iS celebrating itS 10th SeaSon. The consistency and quality of the food and the casual-chic atmosphere have kept it a favorite of both locals and visitors since the beginning. The man behind the scenes has been there since the start.
“When we’re cooking food, as chefs, we just want to make people happy. We want people to taste the food and love it, and we get energy from that,” Troy Batten says of his field of work as executive chef at Teton Mountain Lodge’s Spur. Batten has been at the helm since 2019, but his time deriving energy from cooking in Jackson Hole and other resort towns vastly predates that — to 2001.
Originally from Idaho, where his family owned cattle ranches in Ashton and Blackfoot, Batten departed academia at Boise State University when he saw an ad for a kitchen position at Jackson Lake Lodge. From there, a myriad of kitchen positions that spanned mountain towns in Colorado and California honed the chef’s skills in the kitchen and on the slopes. As they have with many others, the mountains of Jackson Hole called Batten back to the area, and he has since settled into the role of delighting the palates of Spur patrons.
It’s Mountain West-American cuisine. We’ve had some wild menu items before — everything from Peruvian dishes to Turkish dishes to Japanese dishes. But at the end of the day, we use old-school, classical techniques to prepare Alpinestyle food. It’s a scratch kitchen, so we make our own charcuterie products, cheeses, sauces, etc.
6 Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into medium dice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 yellow onion, small dice
2 cups white wine
2 quarts chicken (or vegetable) stock
1/2 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1/2 tablespoon chives, chopped
1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
> Soak the chopped potatoes in cold water. In a large pot, sweat the onions with oil over medium heat until translucent. Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil in a separate pot. Strain the potatoes, and add to the pot with onions. Cook until potatoes are slightly translucent — stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Deglaze the pan with white wine and add boiling stock one cup at a time.
Stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, hold the mixture at a slight simmer. The risotto is ready once the starches are released, the stock is creamy and the potatoes are soft in the center.
Finish with herbs, butter, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste.

GIVEN YOUR UPBRINGING, YOU MUST BE PRETTY SELECTIVE WITH YOUR PROTEIN SOURCING. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE SELECTIVE OF PROTEINS?
The health [of the animal] and the flavor go hand in hand. When you have a fresh product that was raised correctly, it tastes better. It’s more tender, and there’s a better fat-to-protein ratio. The human tongue is pretty amazing, and you can tell the difference when something’s been pasture-raised and humanely processed. In my family, that’s how we did it. We raised cattle on a ranch and cared for them when they were sick, and that was normal. Now, that’d be called free-range organic, but for us, back then that was just how it was done.
Intermountain Bison in Swan Valley [Idaho] has been a huge source of our food. Our buffalo short rib and buffalo New York strip steak both come from them. The short rib is, without a doubt, the No. 1 seller on our menu. It’s a menu staple that we braise with Snake River Brewing’s Zonker Stout beer, and most people know about it when they come here. I also have a great rapport with Snake River Farms out of Boise. That’s who we’ve been sourcing our American wagyu from for years and years.
Seasonality and our daily specials are huge inspirations to us. We always open up the season with a slim menu and add to it. Also, I tell everybody — from the cooks to the dishwashers to the servers — “In your offseason, I want you all to go out and eat at as many restaurants as you can and take as much inspiration as you can. If there’s anything that catches your eye or your palate, write it down or take a photo of it, whatever it takes, just bring that back.” It doesn’t even have to be the full dish; it may just be one component of a dish.
Our roasted cauliflower wedge does. It’s a vegan dish that has a black lentil side that was inspired by a tandoori Indian restaurant. There was an amazing chef there that actually used to cook for the royal family of India. Eventually, after going there enough, he finally gave me almost the full recipe, besides a couple little things. I was able to decipher the rest.
IF YOU WERE TO CHOOSE A TRAVEL DESTINATION BASED ON THE FOOD, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
I think Tokyo has some of the most amazing food scenes in the world. You can go there and be able to eat at one of the nicest Italian restaurants, thousands of miles away from Italy, or seafood, ramen, Korean barbecue, etc. There are so many different types of restaurants, and between the cleanliness and the discipline of the chefs, it’s a really amazing scene.
On my days off, I really want something different — like Chinatown or Pica’s. I like to go to Sidewinders to have a beer and watch a game with some chicken wings. If I’ve been in the national park, then I’ll stop at Dornan’s for pizza. I also enjoy having Local and The Bistro right there in downtown.
If the body is doing well and I’m not broken down, then I’d be getting up and skiing in the Village all morning (hopefully it’s a powder day). Then, maybe a hike out to Four Pines or Rock Springs to finish the day. And then, to be honest, I come down to the Spur, put my gear in my locker, and have a milk, some chicken wings, and a beer while I chat with the bartenders. Otherwise, hot springs adventures are always on my to-do list in the winter.
HOW DOES JACKSON COMPARE TO THE OTHER RESORT TOWNS YOU’VE LIVED IN? Jackson is, without a doubt, the most wellrounded resort town in America. There are days I’ve climbed the Middle Teton, snowboarded down it, then gone swimming in the lake, and then gone for a mountain bike ride. There’s so much to do, and so many options. It just depends on your fitness level and motivation. You can climb a mountain before coming into work. Where else can you do that?

The twist: Bison short ribs are cooked to perfection at this longtime local restaurant. Why we love it: This modern presentation is served with creamy polenta, pickled onion, apple and a delectable rosemary crumble.
The twist: Bison is perfectly crafted into seasoned sausage patties and served on local focaccia with a sous-vide egg, hollandaise and crispy shallots.
Why we love it: It starts your day out with something interesting and offers you a chance to try local coffee with this filling meal.
The twist: Local bison is topped with white cheddar and all the classics. Plus, get a choice of sides like Tater Tots, waffle fries or sweet potato fries.

And, you can wash it down with a classic sundae or milkshake made with the restaurant’s own ice cream. Enjoy it at the soda fountain, a 100-year-old historical spot.
Some cheese, some chocolate and some snow. What more could you ask for?
by Allison Arthur photos by Jay Nel-McIntoshWe can’t imagine anything more fun than a fondue party in winter. Except maybe savoring it in a ski-in, ski-out setting ...
A Teton Village home (that can be rented through Outpost) offers just the right spot for a slope-side happy hour catered by Provisions. And these guys know how to make a splash with a spread. Fondue is more fun when you make it a meal, which their team did in an over-the-top experience.
First, we created an outdoor snow bar and set up on the deck while we watched skiers wrap up their days by the cozy fire. But there was way more to the meal than just cheese and bread. We dipped sausages (homemade by the catering team), an array of veggies and so much more into two different cheese fondues.
The dessert options were just as plentiful. We couldn’t get enough of the biscotti, especially after dipping it in dark chocolate! Read on to find out how you can re-create this meal in the coming winter months.

SMALL DETAILS AND GREAT SERVICE SET THESE CHEFS APART. FOR THIS EVENING THE THEME WAS FONDUE-LY FABULOUS, AND CHEFS CLARK MYERS AND CHAS BAKI PULLED TOGETHER AN EXCEPTIONAL AND CREATIVE FONDUE FEAST. TWO RADICALLY DIFFERENT CHEESE DIPS (A TRADITIONAL AND A RED WINE-MUSHROOM VERSION) WERE ACCOMPANIED BY EVERYTHING FROM SAUSAGE, TO FRUIT, TO PICKLED VEGETABLES, ARANCINI AND POTATOES.
NOT TO BE OUTDONE, THE CHOCOLATE FONDUE SERVICE WAS JUST AS ELABORATE. TOWERS OF TREATS WERE SET OUT TO BE DIPPED INTO WARM DARK CHOCOLATE. HOMEMADE DOUGHNUTS, BISCOTTI, MARSHMALLOWS, SHORTBREAD AND MORE OFFERED DIFFERENT TEXTURES AND FLAVORS, AND WERE A SATISFYINGLY SWEET ENDING TO THE FONDUE FUN.
Fondue is always festive. Provisions catered a colorful and diverse spread of dipping options. Amrita Beverages provided mixers for cocktails.
To make the event a complete meal, everything from fruit and vegetables to sausages and more was offered with two different cheese fondues and followed by dessert.

WITHa large island workspace and organized cabinets, Erin Oda’s open white kitchen is a lovely space for the private chef to prepare food for her clients and her kids. The real showstopper in her recently remodeled home is an exposed brick wall that adds elements of texture and color to an otherwise simple space. Plus, it’s a welcome sight for sore (Southern) eyes, as exposed brick is more mainstream in the South and on the East Coast.
The chef has lived in Jackson for more than 25 years and has been in catering for almost as long. When she bought the Melody Ranch home 13 years ago, she always knew a remodel of its kitchen was in her future. When a client was getting rid of a white Viking range, she took advantage of the gift and planned a new kitchen around the luxury appliance. Working with local contractor Darren Irving, she came up with ideas for design and planning that he helped bring to life. The result is a serene, well-thought-out space that allows her to work efficiently and to entertain.
You will often find Oda’s two children, Maxine and Eli, sitting at the island bar. Oda says her favorite element of the new kitchen is offering an open space people can gather in.
FEATURES SHE LOVES include a pull-out spice rack, drawers rather than cabinets, and open shelves to display some of the special tableware pieces she has collected over the years. “I wanted stuff off the countertops,” she says, so she installed details like a magnet rack for her knives.
ODA PRIMARILY CATERS FOR SMALL DINNER PARTIES AND LARGER COCKTAIL PARTIES. “I USE THE BEST, FRESHEST INGREDIENTS AND MAKE GOOD FOOD THAT TASTES GOOD,” SHE SAYS. “WHEN YOU ARE COOKING FOR OTHERS, YOU HAVE TO BE VERSATILE.” SOME OF THE DISHES SHE GETS REQUESTS FOR MOST OFTEN ARE PORK CHILE VERDE, LASAGNA WITH FRESH PASTA, AND ONE-BITE HORS D’OEUVRES LIKE JAPANESE FRIED CHICKEN BITES AND CRUDO CEVICHE.
• OTTOLENGHI COOKBOOKS. “THE RECIPES ARE APPROACHABLE, AND I AM VERY INSPIRED BY THE THINGS HE CREATES,” ODA SAYS. YOTAM OTTOLENGHI IS AN ISRAELI-BORN BRITISH CHEF AND RESTAURATEUR WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF SEVERAL BESTSELLING COOKBOOKS.
• SMITHEY IRONWARE COMPANY PANS. SHE WAS GIFTED ONE WITH HER NAME STAMPED IN THE CARBON STEEL.

Longtime local and radio personality at KMTN is famous for enjoying a good meal.
story by Lily Krass photos by Jay Nel-McintoshYou may recognize mark “Fish” Fishman’s voice from his job as music and program director at 96.9 KMTN radio, but aside from turning listeners on to new artists in the music industry, he’s constantly looking for a good meal. The longtime local is a connoisseur of dining out around Jackson.
Originally from Atlanta, Fish grew up with Southern food. “Country-fried steak, black-eyed peas, fried okra,” he muses. “Being Jewish, I grew up with some serious Jewish food, too: matzo ball soup, barbecue brisket and corned beef sandwiches.” Needless to say, if you’re looking to eat well around town, Fish is the person to talk (or listen) to.
Fish has been in the valley since 1989 when he moved here for “one ski season.” He’s seen restaurants come and go but has never wavered in his love for a good meal with family and friends. He’s also been known to try out a recipe or two from Dishing!
“My profession in the music industry has allowed me to turn the listeners of Jackson and Teton Valley on to some of the great new artists out there, and I often hear about it through emails, chats at the post office and grocery store, or while seeing them live at one of our local venues,” he says. “Music and food have quite the connection.”
Fish is a fan of the Atlanta Braves and knows a good meal.
FISH IS THE FAMOUS VOICE behind KMTN’s Trash and Treasure. Sidewinders is a family favorite.
What is your favorite restaurant in Jackson, and do you have any favorite dishes there?
There are as many answers to this question as there are layers to an onion. Let’s break it down for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Let’s start with breakfast … The Virginian and Bubba’s. For a cup of coffee and a pastry, Persephone and Picnic or Cowboy Coffee and Pearl Street Bagels. How about lunch?
For lunch, I tend to go to The Virginian quite a bit. I love The Virginian salad. They have great soups, breakfast all day and meatloaf with mashed potatoes on a cold winter day. They also have a massive fish taco on Fridays. I tend to eat at China Fun and Chinatown for lunch quite a bit as well as Streetfood at the Stagecoach, Miazga’s, The Silver Dollar Bar & Grill and Cutty’s. If there is a beer lover in the group, a visit to Wyoming’s oldest brewery, Snake River Brewing Co., is a must. Killer food, too, so plan on hanging out. Weekends for brunch?
Café Genevieve. But my all-time go-to has to be Sweet Cheeks Meats on Scott Lane. Graband-go breakfast and lunch if you’re going skiing, hiking or to take up to Grand Teton National Park or Yellowstone. Pick up an aged ribeye for the grill while you’re there. Last but not least, dinner?
For dinner, it’s all about whether I have my kids or if I’m going out for an adult dinner. With the kids, we tend to visit any of the Blue Collar restaurants. Sidewinders (kids can play in the playroom, adults can watch sports); Liberty Burger or Merry Piglets (next
to each other so if one is too busy we have a backup); or Bubba’s. My eldest and I are also fans of Noodle Kitchen.
If it’s an adult dinner with friends or a business associate, I would usually take them to the standards like Snake River Grill, Blue Lion, The Bistro, Orsetto or The Kitchen. But for a more casual dinner, it’s El Abuelito, Big Hole BBQ, Pinky G’s and Teton Thai in Teton Village. Any go-to takeout places?
For takeout, it’s gotta be Chinatown, Sweet Cheeks, Thai Plate and Bapp. Any favorite offseason specials? Do we have offseasons anymore?
Friends or family are in town visiting, what’s your go-to?
Well, hopefully they are in town when there’s a special event happening. One of my mom’s (again, see Southern/Jewish and add
mother) favorite food events is the annual Wilson Volunteer Fire Department Chicken Fry during the summer. Insider tip for you Southerners: Stop by Micky D’s and grab yourself a sweet tea. I also love the increased food truck presence at concerts and events. Variety is the spice of life.
When folks fly in, first stop is no question: Take a left outta the Jackson Hole Airport to Moose, and stop at Dornan’s. You’ll find the best view, not to mention a killer bloody [mary] and an amazing wine selection. Have something to eat while you’re taking in that view!
are more and more options for vegan diners in Jackson Hole.
an assumption that vegan food equated to bland, unsettlingly textured or entirely lettuce-based dishes. Across Jackson, however, chefs and restaurateurs are proving that these assumptions are far from the truth. Embracing plant-based ingredients, and elevating them to shine through careful preparation and sophisticated presentation, menus across the valley offer a diverse array of dishes entirely sans animal products. The best part? These offerings won’t leave you unsatisfied or feeling like you’ve made any sacrifice at all.
What brings diners and chefs to vegan fare is often a constellation of motives. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that diets incorporating more plants can have tremendous health benefits. Additionally, consuming more plants and fewer animal products is a way that many people address climate change, animal welfare concerns, and other systemic and ecological issues.
Healthy Being Cafe & Juicery owner Jessica Vandenbroeke led the way in Jackson, beginning her restaurant in 2013 with a menu full of vegan options, and now several other spots have followed suit around town.
“I don’t like the way that our food system goes — so many additives in so many meat products,” says Savanna Garnick, co-owner of Cultivate Cafe. “Personally, I’ve chosen to be plant-based because I believe that the treatment of animals in factory farming is gluttonous, and I want to be part of a movement and system showing the health of plant-based diets.” She sees her plant-based lifestyle and her efforts to showcase excellent vegan food on the menu as a two-pronged effort to inspire people and help repair some
of the food system’s damage.
“I’m proud to help forge a way forward that’s not so detrimental to animals and the planet. We’re stewards of the earth; we should have reverence for everything we eat, and be mindful how we treat those things,” she says.
Brendan Ryan, co-owner of the entirely plant-based Soluna Cafe, was brought to his role at the helm of a vegan restaurant for similar reasons. “The vision for me personally was social responsibility,” he says. “On a long list of things that one can pursue, I think being a restaurateur was a ways down the list for me, but it’s one of the most powerful ways to create opportunity for a shift — on a wellness level for individual people, and broader in terms of energy, water and land use, pollution, and climate change.
“Supporting the plant-based protocol is an easy way to have a positive effect,” he continues. “Just by eating this way, you’re improving your own personal wellness, and checking a lot of boxes around healthrelated conditions
— and contributing to cleaner water, air and animal welfare. I wanted to really increase access to plant-based nutrition on a scale that might move the needle and inspire other people.”
Soluna Cafe’s menu, while entirely plant-based, boasts plenty of recognizable — even beloved — dishes: tacos, burritos, pancakes, falafel. Ryan explains that when he and his co-founder, Mark Rector, began assembling the lineup, they collaborated with staff who had extensive experience in kitchens around Jackson, and sought to create new and satisfying interpretations of classics.
“Lots of our dishes are inspired by other cultures,” Ryan says, noting that many foods from around the globe are inherently vegan. “We’re creating things that aren’t too extreme; it’s not alienating to someone who doesn’t typically eat this way. We deliver plant-based food in a form that people who aren’t vegan or vegetarian can engage in and enjoy.”
Garnick brings a similar approach to the vegan dishes on the menu at Cultivate Cafe.
“The goal isn’t to re-create flavor exactly, but to create another option for a type of food,” she says. “We’re not trying to mimic a meat product, but rather provide a delicious and healthy alternative.”
Similarly to Healthy Being, Cultivate’s menu includes a wide diversity of fully plant-based dishes, but also offers vegetarian and meatinclusive options as well. Garnick’s own family, half of whom are vegan and half of whom eat meat, are all deeply conscious of the impact their food choices have on their health and the planet. In designing a balanced menu, she says, she had a vision to create a space where everyone can feel welcome and enjoy themselves.
“I wanted a place where everybody could eat something. A lot of times it’s hard for groups to eat at a restaurant because everyone’s diets and choices aren’t the same,” she explains. “At Cultivate, everyone has the option to eat plant-based or nonplant-based, and really enjoy a meal together.”
This particular brand of welcoming is at the heart of what private yoga instructor Sarah Koznek appreciates about restaurants like Cultivate Cafe. As a diner with both allergies and a preference for plant-based
Beyond the plant-based goodness all over menus at places like Soluna, Healthy Being and Cultivate Cafe, there are plenty of tantalizing vegan and vegetarian options on some of the valley’s most celebrated menus.
In downtown Hotel Jackson, this Lebanese restaurant offers an extensive lineup of vegan choices, including flaky spinach pie, creamy house-made hummus with pita, grilled veggies, stuffed grape leaves and kebabs.
There are multiple vegan choices on the menu at this downtown restaurant, including za’atar roasted baby carrots with cashew cheese, spiced honey and pistachio chutney, as well as a sweet corn curry with coconut, udon noodles, mushrooms and grilled lime.
In addition to inherently plantbased dishes like the ovenroasted olives, this Italian restaurant has options, such as the spaghetti alla norma (with roasted zucchini, eggplant, asparagus, peas, tomato, garlic, lemon and basil) that can easily be made vegan — by omitting the pecorino cheese topping.
Order up an Ital Vibes pie, and tuck into spinach, dairy-free mozzarella, yellow pepper, caramelized onion and crunchy Calabrian tomato.
Located just off the Town Square in the Cloudveil Hotel, dig into French-inspired king trumpet mushrooms served with wild rice, mushroom consommé, baby heirloom tomatoes, English peas and hazelnuts — easily made vegan by request.
At the cafeteria-style Rendezvous Casual Dining, skiers and snowboarders are treated to a vegan choice of mushroom broth-based pho. Pile on fresh herbs, peanuts and hot sauce, and you’ve got a winning combination that won’t weigh you down but will satisfy you until you have taken your last run and are ready for a heap of nachos.
foods, Koznek has had some less-than-shining experiences at restaurants that have limited meat-free choices or staff that doesn’t fully understand what is in a specific dish. “I’ve been places where just trying to order vegan food turns into an ordeal, and that can be really stressful. Part of going out to eat is the joy and connection in the experience, and when it’s so stressful, that gets ruined,” she says.
“I love that some restaurants in Jackson have delicious vegan choices that are clearly marked and easy to order,” Koznek says. Menus like the one at Cultivate Cafe, she adds, help everyone feel embraced and welcomed for a genuinely positive dining experience.
Dee Buckstaff, a Montessori preschool teacher who has lived in the valley for decades, also seeks plantbased dishes when she eats away from home. In addition to places that center around vegan options, she’s quick to point out that many local restaurants have choices on the menu that adapt easily to plant-based versions. “I like any of the salads at Persephone and Picnic, and their sandwiches can be made vegan, too. Teton Thai has an excellent veggie curry made with
Cultivate Café uses this sauce on its vegan nachos. For instructions on how to make that entire dish, visit: dishingjh.com/ cultivatevegannachos
Koznek notes that plenty of local spots have delightful vegan options that can be hiding in plain sight. “Pearl Street Bagels is a great example. It’s easy to get sandwiches and salads vegan and just swap cream cheese for avocado or hummus!”
Crafting luscious, deeply satisfying food without animal products is far from impossible. In fact, as many restaurants across the valley demonstrate, excellent chefs are capable of showcasing the inherently satisfying flavors of herbs, spices, vegetables, grains and fruit to create an unforgettable meal.
“Whether it’s ‘chicken’ and waffles [made] with jackfruit, or our mushroom and eggplant veggie burger, the point isn’t to mimic meat,” says Garnick. “It’s about enjoying these things and knowing you’re not going to miss out on anything because you don’t have animal products in the food.”
Is there anything better than chowing down on fresh, salty potato chips after a big day in the mountains? Most would agree that no, in fact, there is not.
Like many Jackson Hole residents, when Cooper Kahlenberg moved to the valley in 2007, he thought he would just spend a few years here riding his snowboard, working in restaurants, and enjoying carefree life in the mountains before moving on to a more long-term plan. Fourteen years later, he’s still hooked on life in the Tetons, but he has embarked upon a new adventure — one filled with potatoes, salt and truffle butter.
Kahlenberg launched Jackson Hole Chip Company in 2020, but it’s not because of a lifelong love for potato chips. In fact, it’s a bit of the opposite. Burned out on restaurant work and wondering where he should steer his career one night after a late shift, a friend joked: “If I could do anything, I’d open a potato chip company. Think about all the potatoes right over the hill in Idaho.”
Kahlenberg’s response: “Yeah, I don’t even like
potato chips all that much.”
Still, the idea stuck with him, and he kept coming back to it. “I think I wasn’t really into potato chips because there weren’t any good ones,” he says. “I figured, ‘why don’t I make stuff I like and see if other people are into it?’ After a friend put that idea in my head, it made me wonder if I could try to make this category better.”
Freshness is a key component of JH Chips, and Kahlenberg tries to keep preservatives out of his recipes and focus on natural and local ingredients. They might not last for years on the shelf, but that’s all right with us. You can order JH Chips online, and Kahlenberg says he has a few specialty stores in town lined up to stock them this winter.
Jackson Hole Chip Company sells six different chip flavors: classics like sea salt, BBQ, and salt and vinegar, as well as jalapeño cheddar, truffle butter, and Funk (a tart and tangier version of BBQ). Jalapeño cheddar is Kahlenberg’s favorite, but he says people just can’t get enough of the truffle butter chips. “The farmers market has been a really great place to get to know people and see firsthand what people like and don’t like.”
“WHEN YOU THINK OF WHAT FOOD AND DRINK COMBINATIONS WORK TOGETHER WELL, THE FIRST THING YOU PROBABLY THINK OF IS PAIRING WINE WITH SOME KIND OF FANCY MEAL IN A DIM-LIGHT ROOM,” SAYS KAHLENBERG. BUT GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THAT ARE TWO THINGS THAT ARE PRACTICALLY MADE FOR EACH OTHER: BEER AND CHIPS. HERE ARE SOME PAIRINGS KAHLENBERG SUGGESTS WITH LOCAL BREWS TO TRY TOGETHER.
Light in color and body, this well-rounded brew is the perfect companion for the most classic of chips.
The malt flavor and creamy body of this stout complement the smoky sweetness of these chips.
This beer’s hoppy, citrusy taste cuts the heat if the cheese didn’t do enough.
Big flavor and full body, this beer balances the chips’ flavor perfectly.
The saison’s mild sourness plays well with these “everything” chips’ super tart and BBQ flavors.
This lighter beer with its crisp finish is ideal for these chips’ truffley, buttery richness.
Working as a horse farrier for over a decade, Independent Ironware founder Paul Angiolillo had long dreamed of opening up his own blacksmith shop. “But I wanted to create something more accessible than ornamental gates and handrails, which is the more common way to be a blacksmith these days,” he says. With Italian roots and a passion for food, Angiolillo started crafting carbon steel pans, putting his own unique touch on what had been a kitchen staple of his for years. Two years after fine-tuning his design process, he officially launched Independent Ironware in February of 2022, with four different-size skillets, three large roaster pans and a campfire wok.
“I really prioritize buying intentional products. Something you buy once and take care of, and it will last you a lifetime. That’s a big part of these pans,” he says. “I cook absolutely everything in them, and the cool thing is that the more seasoned they get, the more beautiful they become.” Pans are seasoned with organic coconut oil for a natural nonstick surface and develop their own unique bronze patina that ages as you use them.
While similar to castiron pans in function, Independent Ironware’s carbon steel pans are made by shaping steel in its original state without melting it down.
Traditional cast iron is melted down and poured into a sand mold, while Angiolillo’s method allows him to craft the shape of each piece using traditional blacksmithing techniques.
Unlike a traditional cast-iron pan, the carbon steel method allows Independent Ironware skillets to be thinner and lighter. With a deeper, more gradual curve, the 9- and 10inch French skillets are designed with high volume in mind, so you can cook for a crowd in one pan. “I eat for two,” laughs Angiolillo. “So having enough volume is always important.” The long, tall handles create a unique aesthetic, but they also keep from overheating, so you’re less likely to burn your hand when you reach for them.
At least six hours of labor go into each pan, all hand-forged in batches. Angiolillo starts by cutting out the raw materials into the shapes he wants; then everything goes into the forge, where it’s heated to 1,800 degrees. Once it’s glowing red and orange, the pan is ready to be manipulated, and Angiolillo uses a hammer to shape it by hand and create the textured look that’s unique to Independent Ironware products.
“Of course, I’m biased, but I think there’s something unique about cooking with a pan that’s been made by hand. It adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal and makes it more meaningful,” Angiolillo says.
Independent Ironware pans are available for order online, and at the People’s Market during the summer.
This is a great time to wash and scrub off any buildup from cooking. Try to avoid using any thing really abrasive like a steel scrubber, but the back of a sponge will be fine. It is OK to use a little bit of soap at this stage, but we do not recommend soap with daily use. After washing your pan, make sure to dry it with a dish towel.
Turn your burner to medium-high and place your dry, washed pan on the heat. Let it heat up until you start to see some browning occur on the surface of the steel. When this happens, move your pan around the burner with the intent of spreading the browning evenly.
Now that your pan has started to brown up, it is a good time to apply a thin layer of highsmoke point cooking oil to the pan. Take dish towel or a paper towel with some oil on it and coat the entire pan with a thin, even layer.
While the oil is being evenly applied to the pan, it will have started smoking. The smoking of the oil is what we want — that is the oil bonding to the steel surface. At this time, turn down the burner to a lower heat to avoid excessive smoking from the pan. It may also be a good idea to have your kitchen fan running or to ventilate your kitchen. Let the pan smoke for a few moments.
Take your pan off the hot burner and let it sit to cool on the stovetop. Avoid running your hot pan under water, as this could potentially cause it to warp.
Roxanne Riley never thought of herself as much of a baker. That is, until she watched an online tutorial to bake a friend a cake for her 30th birthday a few years ago and found her creations in high demand. “She posted a photo on social media, and pretty soon another friend reached out and asked if she could pay me to bake her a cake,” says Riley. “All of a sudden I thought, ‘Maybe I should make this a side hustle,’ and it just kind of snowballed from there.”
Riley, who is a Pilates instructor at Core Pilates, launched Foxy Cakes in 2019, crafting unique custom cakes and cupcakes for birthdays, weddings and special events. During the COVID-19 quarantine, she started making intricate, hand-painted cookies to order, shipping them all over for events during quarantine.
All self-taught, Riley has embraced the learn-as-you-go mentality, creating everything from floraladorned, five-tiered wedding cakes to a recent pink and purple mermaid cake for a 5-year-old’s birthday, and complex cookie designs including anything from animal shapes to portraits, logos, and characters crafted out of royal icing. “I originally got into it because I love bright colors,” she says. “I love doing
big, colorful birthday cakes, and wedding cakes have definitely picked up, especially in the summer. I always love the ones that are a little different and unique.”
Inside, Riley has nine different cake flavors on rotation, including classics like chocolate (her grandmother’s recipe!), vanilla, and strawberry, as well as graham cracker and funfetti. Nine different buttercream frostings allow for endless flavor combinations, with favorites like lemon cake and lavender frosting, or chocolate cake and salted caramel frosting.
“I definitely got into it because I like doing the outside of the cakes,” she says. “The flavors inside are a little more basic, but I’ve had great feedback. Nothing super crazy on the inside since there’s so much going on on the outside.”
While she never would have anticipated herself running a baking business, Riley has been amazed at the community’s support. “Jackson is one of the best towns to start a business in because everyone just seems to hop on board,” she says. “Despite being relatively isolated, there’s so much opportunity here if you want to start your own business, which is one of my favorite things about living here.”
You can order a custom cake, cupcakes or cookies for your next event through the Foxy Cakes website or through Riley’s Instagram (@foxycakesjh).

When your host is not only capable of cooking an exceptional dinner, but she also hand-sews vintage lace to napkins that dress the table and designs matching attire for the event, you can’t help but be impressed. Think you have seen it all? Lela Rose’s evenings always offer a paired signature cocktail, usually adorned with handmade garnishes, that will push you over the edge. The designer takes dinner parties to new levels, and we couldn’t wait to learn how she does it all.
Famous for her namesake clothing line, Rose has always been tuned into the details and nuances of everything she does. But when it comes to designing a dinner table, she takes it up even another
notch. “Everything is as much about the five senses as the food. You need to delight people not only with what you are visually serving, but also when they walk in and see a beautifully set table,” she says.
When planning a party, every detail from what she is wearing to what you are drinking is planned out and prepared ahead of time so she isn’t scrambling when guests arrive. She has become so respected for entertaining that Rose is publishing her second book, Fresh Air Affairs, on styling outdoor events, and has recently parlayed her talents into designing a home décor line at her Wilson store, Lela Rose Ranch. Here is what she has to say about how she does it all:
◊ SET THE TABLE AHEAD OF TIME. “A LOT OF TIMES I SET THE TABLE THE NIGHT BEFORE,” SHE SAYS. “NO ONE LIKES A STRESSED-OUT HOST, AND I LOVE TO DO THINGS EARLY.”
◊ THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM A 360-DEGREE POINT OF VIEW. “I LOVE WHAT I AM WEARING TO MATCH EVERYTHING FROM THE DRINKS TO THE TABLE.”
◊ PUT AS MUCH INTO SETTING THE TABLE AS YOU HAVE INTO THE FOOD. “DETAILS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE CLOTHING BUSINESS, AND WHEN I SET A TABLE, EVERY DETAIL IS MEANT TO SURPRISE AND DELIGHT YOU AS MUCH AS THE FOOD.”
◊
COLLECT FABRIC, VINTAGE ITEMS AND SPECIAL PIECES YOU FIND WHEN YOU TRAVEL, IN ADDITION TO ITEMS YOU CAN FORAGE FOR IN NATURE. “I PICK UP INTERESTING STICKS AND BRANCHES, BIRDS’ NESTS FROM THE GROUND, BRANCHES WITH MOSS, AND PINE CONES. I AM ALWAYS COLLECTING STUFF.”
◊ USE YOUR SILVER AND CHINA REGULARLY. “I NEVER LET IT SIT IN A DRAWER TO WAIT ON A SPECIAL OCCASION.”
◊ SNAG SPECIAL ITEMS WHEN YOU SEE THEM. “I ALWAYS BUY A MINIMUM OF 12 — BUT I LIKE TO HAVE 24 OF EACH THING. BUT I WILL ALSO BUY SIX OR EIGHT IF I HAVE TO AND MIX THEM IN WITH OTHER THINGS.”
◊ KEEP TAPERED CANDLESTICKS ON HAND. “FLOWERS ARE NICE WHEN YOU CAN THINK AHEAD, BUT CANDLES OFFER DIFFERENT HEIGHTS AND CAN MAKE EVEN A LAST-MINUTE DINNER LOOK SPECIAL. I LOVE HOW RUSTIC THEY ARE, AND I LOVE HOW A TAPERED CANDLE LOOKS ON A TABLE.”
◊ DIVE INTO THE DETAILS. “I LOVE TO MESS AROUND WITH GORGEOUS FABRICS AND WHAT GOES WITH THAT, AND THINK THROUGH THOSE DETAILS.”
◊ STUDY NAPKIN FOLDING ON YOUTUBE OR WHEN YOU SEE A UNIQUE ONE IN A RESTAURANT. “I KNOW AT LEAST 20 DIFFERENT NAPKIN FOLDS.”
A coverlet Rose found in Austin, Texas, is adorned with plates from a trip to Paris, glasses from Italy, napkins she sewed vintage lace to and colors that are meant to hint at holidays without being overly Christmasy. Sweet peas, freesia and peonies are pulled together in color chunks in a custom vase by Gina Humphries (see sidebar). The stick candles came from Mountain Dandy.
Rose sourced the vintage fabric for the tablecloth on a trip to Africa. The felt placemats are part of her new tableware collection and can be found at Lela Rose Ranch (all stock in the store is limited run, though). The yellow plates are from CB2, and the purple stems are Estelle Colored Glass. “I love a very colorful table with textures, patterns and vintage items,” she says. “I bring an extra suitcase so I can buy things when I travel.”

All the pillows, table runner, napkins and napkin rings are from Rose’s new tableware collection, found at Lela Rose Ranch in Wilson. She modeled the floral adornments off a quilt of her mother’s, and the plates were bought in Japan on a family trip. Each plate has a different design and is hand glazed.
FLORAL DESIGNER GINA HUMPHRIES ENHANCED EACH TABLE WITH COMPLEMENTARY FLOWERS TO FINISH THE SCENE. SHE MATCHED EACH FLORAL DESIGN TO THE DÉCOR OF THE TABLE, WITH A MORE UPSCALE ARRANGEMENT FOR THE DRESSIER TABLE, AND MORE CASUAL OPTIONS, SUCH AS SUCCULENTS, FOR AN EVERYDAY EVENING TABLE. HUMPHRIES, WHO EVEN MAKES CUSTOM POTTERY PIECES TO HOLD HER FLOWERS, WORKS WITH CLIENTS TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT AN EVENT’S TABLE, PARTY SCENE AND COLOR SCHEME WILL LOOK LIKE AHEAD OF TIME. SHE ALSO NOTES THE HEIGHTS OF ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE TABLE SO GUESTS CAN STILL EASILY SEE ACROSS THEM. MAKING THE VESSELS, SHE SAYS, ALLOWS HER TO WORK WITH DIFFERENT SHAPES, SIZES AND COLORS. SUCCULENT COMPOSITIONS (AS SEEN ON TABLE NO. 2) ARE A FAVORITE, SHE SAYS.
From my first sip of DAoU wine , I was buzzing for more. I was at Deer Valley Resort’s Taste of Luxury Series last spring. A sponsor of the event, DAOU Vineyards — a California winery founded and operated by the Daou family — immediately intrigued me to learn more about Paso Robles and the wines produced there. Not only were the wines impressive, the passion behind the winemaking was clear.
Soon thereafter, a trip to California’s Central Coast was on the schedule.
Located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Paso Robles is tucked just over a hillside from the coast. A charming town square is framed by rolling hillsides where the soil is predominantly calcareous and the growing region offers 11 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs).
The climate mirrors Bordeaux and Rhone, and much of the grapes grown in the area are cabernet sauvignon, but more than 60 varieties can be found at the 200 Paso Robles wineries, including grenache, zinfandel and plenty of whites.
At the very top of the vistas of Paso Robles sits DAOU. The winery is 2,200 feet above sea level and produces some of the most well-known wines of the region. While you may recognize other regional names like J. Lohr and Robert Hall, 85% of the wine produced in Paso Robles goes directly to wine club members. This means it won’t be found in many stores or restaurants, making the coveted bottles harder to come by.
Add in farm-to-table cuisine, history, art, and luxurious (or budget-friendly if you prefer) hotels, and you will be hooked. Here are some tips, so you can start planning a trip.
A short drive away, the Hearst Castle offers a 250,000-acre property to explore with an estate, gardens, pools, art, history and more.
If you are in the area on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday night, be sure to check out Sensorio, a 15-acre light installation by artist Bruce Munro.
Just outside of town, this Tuscan-style hotel inspires guests to relax, reflect and refresh. Filled with so much art that an art tour is recommended for it to be fully appreciat ed, the 20-acre vineyard and resort is an experience in itself. Walk the 12 stations of meditation, mingle with alpacas, or plan some downtime at the spa and pool. A tasting room means you don’t even have to leave the hotel to visit a Paso Robles winery. Gracious open public spaces, like a European-style courtyard and cozy sitting rooms, allow for plenty of downtime. Cello Ristorante & Bar offers Mediterranean-in spired breakfast, lunch and dinner. You may never want to leave, but with so much to explore in the area, you should.
A flagship winery in the region, the estate is at the top of the highest hill in the area and should be at the top of your list. Sweeping views and a stunning setting will invite you to taste and sip your way through the afternoon.
This name may sound familiar to Jackson locals as the Niner family spends time in the valley, when not hard at work at the estate. The 200 to 400 cases (primarily of cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir and chardonnay) are generally spoken for through their wine club but can also be found on the menu at Snake River Grill. Be sure to browse the expansive garden, and don’t miss the classic, yet over-the-top, cheese plate.
Look for farmers markets highlighting regional goodies scattered in different areas on various days of the week.
You should get a tour of the property atop York Mountain while you taste the wines. There is a story behind each brick and the original basket press used by the York brothers that hangs on display. The winemaker, Jordan Fiorentini, originally studied engineering and grew up working on a family vineyard.
At the top of yet another mountain, Law provides a different view and take on Paso Robles wine. All tastings are by appointment, and you will be guided through a flight of four wines while your hosts give you the rundown of why the facility and winemaking practices make the wines so special.
THOMAS HILL ORGANICS
is a must-stop spot offering brunch, lunch and dinner that highlights local purveyors and seasonal ingredients. A picturesque courtyard allows you to relax and enjoy an accompanying wine pairing with your meal. At lunch, don’t miss the black lentil tacos and a killer burger.
This charming, modern French restaurant is the brainchild of a winemaker’s son and a butcher’s daughter. The combination is perfect, especially if you want to do the nightly tasting menu and wine pairing. Otherwise, choose from seasonal items and regional ingredients. Try to save room for dessert, like fluffy chocolate mousse and decadent crème brûlée.
For a more classic French dining experience, this longtime local favorite fits the bill perfectly. Start with a glass of Champagne and a round of oysters and escargot, and finish with the fish with red wine sauce.
At DAOU, you will find a unique selection of Mediterranean small plates — a nod to the owners’ Lebanese roots. Dishes like labneh, dolmas and spicy feta are offered in a variety of settings around the winery. At Niner, make a plan to organize your tasting around a lunch of classic California options, accompanied by fresh bread and some of the ingredients grown on site.
The city is a great destination for girls’ trips, weekend getaways or your next special event.
Plan a visit to Tin City for a co-op of artisans, tasting rooms, food options and more. Closer to downtown, stop by Paso Market Walk for a quick meal, sip or treat.

A historical institution serving local beef and soda fountain treats
Open daily 11 a.m.–9 p.m. | 15 E. Deloney Ave. 307.201.1275 | jacksondrug.com
In summer 2018, this historical Jackson soda fountain returned to the Town Square. Siblings Jessica, Nikki and Patrick Gill revived the business started by their great-grandfather, Bruce Porter, in 1919. Today, you wouldn’t know that the soda fountain closed its doors in 2001. Antique swivel barstools line the Jackson Drug’s original soda fountain counter that holds a variety of house-made ice creams. Stacked into a sundae dish or swirled into an old-fashioned milkshake, these sweet treats are the cherry on top of a classic diner meal at Jackson Drug. Burgers sourced from the family’s ranch, the Jackson Hole Hereford Ranch, bring authentic meaning to the term farm to table. The Jackson Drug is an iconic piece of Jackson’s history.

The Japanese-style bistro embodies the culinary team’s passion for Japanese cuisine, serving it up in a lively and interactive atmosphere. There’s no fusion here. Expect simple, authentic food, often in small portions or shareable plates. The large menu highlights a vast range of Japanese flavors and cooking techniques while showcasing the simplicity and delicacy of the food. Highlights include katsu (breaded, fried items), kushi-yaki (skewered meats and veggies), Yakimono (grilled meats served on a live konro grill), ramen (noodle bowls), sashimi (raw fish) and sushi. A thoughtfully composed drink list includes sake and shochu, as well as beer, wine and Japanese-inspired cocktails. Head in for happy hour Monday through Saturday from 5 to 6 p.m.

Trio is a downtown favorite. The atmosphere is hip, lively and inviting, like dining in a corner bistro in any big city. And the food? Some of the best in Jackson. Start dinner with a specialty cocktail, like the blood orange margarita. Then prepare to be impressed by chef/owner Will Bradof, who packs the restaurant nightly with crowds seeking innovative dishes like the foie gras pâté appetizer. The well-curated wine program shows that Bradof and his team are just as gifted in their pairings as they are with food and service. Reservations are a must, but if you find yourself without one, try to score a seat at the bar counter, a favorite spot for splitting a pizza, arugula salad and a bottle of Italian red wine. There, you’re close enough to watch the action in the open kitchen.
