CONTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT JAY NEL-MCINTOSH: PHOTOGRAPHER
Jackson Hole–based photographer Jay NelMcIntosh shoots a variety of stories for Dishing, in addition to her other commercial and editorial work. We asked her more about food photography, and here is what she had to say. You have photographed a variety of people, events, travel destinations and more. What do you like specifically about food photography? First, I love to eat and cook, and food photography is an extension of those passions. Chefs who can not only create a dish that tastes incredible but also present it as a work of art are inspiring to me, and I love to be able to showcase their creativity in a lasting way. Food photography is notoriously tricky. What can make it more difficult than other subjects? Food can be very temperamental. Often, you have a short window to capture the shot before the dish melts, sinks or flops. There is also lighting and reflections to take into consideration, trying to avoid shadows and make colors pop. The most challenging food to photograph is often the

simple dishes that lack in color or texture. When a dish is well presented and full of color, my job is easy, but when it’s not, trying to find the best angle is the key to highlight a dish. Because food is one of the most Instagrammed items, do you have any tips and tricks of the trade people can use when shooting their own dishes? Capturing your favorite meal and sharing it on Instagram is always fun and inspiring to look at. The biggest trick is to keep things simple. Create a clutter-free, clean backdrop and make sure you have lots of natural light. Also, let the focus of the photo be on the most beautiful part of the dish or drink. You can play around with the filters after, you can straighten or crop the shot after, but the key is to frame it well in the first place. What foodie stories would you like to see Dishing work on that might be fun to shoot? I love stylized shoots that get to feature a whole bunch of local talent. It would be fun to do a shoot of camping food: how to make easy yet gourmet camping dishes, or the best things from local establishments to grab for your next camping trip.

very day, Park City charms me.
Whether it’s a breathtaking view, an epic adventure, a friendly interaction or a perfect evening out, a surprise pops up around every corner in this town. Over the past three years, Park City has become my home. I was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado, and have lived and worked in Denver, Chicago and New York City, but I am beyond happy to have answered the call of the mountains and returned back west. I feel lucky to call this charming ski town home, and even luckier to begin this adventure with Dishing Park City. Like so many others, I came to Park City for the winter and stayed for the summer (and perhaps, forever). Now I can’t tell you which I like better — which is a great dilemma to have. I’m thrilled to begin my journey with Dishing during the winter because when I’m not on the mountain skiing, I’m an expert après skier. There is nothing quite like loosening your boots (or even better, your belt buckle) and settling down with friends to share the highlights of the day over some much-deserved libations. Nothing caps off a ridiculous day on the mountain like a ridiculous mountain of nachos and a beer (or two). Whether it’s checking out a new restaurant, trying a seasonal dish or inhaling No Name’s pork quesadilla for the 1,000th time (the burgers tend to steal the spotlight, but trust me, this is a must-try), I love exploring the culinary scene in Park City. I often opt to sit at the bar because I’ll usually leave with a new friend. This mountain town always manages to feel welcoming yet never predictable. I look forward to continuing to write my own Park City story, as well as helping to share the stories of what the dining scene here has to offer. I’m on a mission to discover everything foodie Park City — from breakfast to après and everything in between — and getting the chefs in town to hand over their best recipes. Although sometimes I may have to be persuaded to share the food on my plate, I can’t wait to share with you everything that Park City is dishing up! —Kerri Johnson

a lesson in: Sabering Champagne Learn how to impress your friends with this trick dating back to the days of Napoleon. By Allison Arthur
A
PHOTOS BY DARRYL DOBSON
a metal blade, a cold bottle of bubbly
and a little courage are the only tools you need to perform an elaborate-looking, show-stopping way of opening a bottle of Champagne. It’s called sabering, and though it looks (and is) impressive, the skill is not quite as hard as it appears. To learn, we turned to the experts at St. Regis Deer Valley, who perform the skill for their guests every evening to celebrate the transition from day to night. There are many theories for where the tradition of sabering Champagne came from, but most stories revolve around Napoleon and his soldiers during the French Revolution. As legend goes, Madame Veuve Clicquot inherited a Champagne house at age 27, when her husband died. She generously entertained officers during the war at her vineyard and gifted them bottles of Champagne upon their departure. Trying to impress her as they rode away on horseback, they sabered the bottle with their sword to toast her. Napoleon is known to have said, “Champagne! In victory one deserves it, and in defeat one needs it.” Here’s how to open a bottle, Napoleon-style.
Saber a bottle of bubbly with these simple tricks. (A) THE FIRST, and most important, part of the process is to chill the neck of the bottle in a very cold wine cooler, filled with ice, water and a generous sprinkle of kosher salt (which makes the water much colder). Chill the bottle, making sure the neck is submerged, for at least 20 minutes. (B) TAKE the wrap off the top and identify the seam of the bottle. Remove any gooey residue or paper from the seam all the way to the neck.
(C) REMOVE the cork stopper. Keep your thumb on
the top of the cork until you are ready to saber the bottle. This will prevent it from prematurely popping.
(D) HOLD the bottom of the bottle with one hand,
pointing the bottle at a 45-degree angle away from anyone nearby.
(E) RUN the metal blade directly along the seam
of the bottle, at about a 45-degree angle. Using moderate pressure and speed, take the blade toward the lip of the bottle. The cork should break off, and the pressure inside the bottle should prevent any glass from entering the bottle. Remember, you are not trying to cut the bottle. Instead, this movement of the blade is releasing the cork.
TOOLS NEEDED
• A TRADITIONAL SABER or short sword, is
the preferred tool, though many other metal knives or blades will work (it has been done with a spoon, the back side of a knife and the edge of a ski). The St. Regis team suggests using something with some weight to it, but it doesn’t need to be sharp as the bottle is not being cut; the pressure from inside is breaking the glass. Champagnesaber.com is an online source for buying a traditional saber.
24 | DISHINGPC.COM
DO • DIRECT THE CORK AWAY FROM ANYONE NEARBY. • KEEP THE BLADE IN CONTACT WITH THE SEAM OF THE BOTTLE AT ALL TIMES. • PRACTICE ON A LESS EXPENSIVE BOTTLE, JUST IN CASE.
DON’T • TRY TO DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE SURE THE BOTTLE IS COLD ENOUGH. IT WILL BREAK CLOSER TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTLE AND RUIN THE CONTENTS IF THE NECK IS NOT COLD ENOUGH. • THINK YOU NEED TO FORCE IT. LET THE BLADE DO THE WORK. • BE AFRAID TO TRY IT AGAIN WITH A LITTLE MORE PRESSURE IF THE BOTTLE DOESN’T BREAK THE FIRST TIME.

Champagne Facts
(sourced from champagnesabering.com) >> Champagne is best consumed at 42–50 F. In practice, this means taking a bottle from your supply and leaving it in a cooler for 10 minutes. The cooler is half filled with ice and then topped off with cold water until it’s full.
ST. REGIS DEER VALLEY’S
SEGO LILY
1 1/2 ounces High West vodka 7000 Peach 1/2 ounce St. Germaine 1/2 ounce sour orange mix (equal parts orange, lemon, and lime juice and elderflower syrup) Shake ingredients in a shaker with ice and strain into a flute. Top with your choice of sparkling wine. Float an orange twist to finish.
>> The pressure in a Champagne bottle can build up to 6 Bar (88 psi). The pressure in a car tire is approximately 3 Bar (45 psi). >> The best Champagne corks are made of Portuguese cork. >> A flute is the preferred glassware for Champagne. A flute is tulip-shaped and made of thin glass. In wide coupes, bubbles evaporate too quickly, and the aroma can’t be tasted properly. The best class of flutes have a little drop of glass on the bottom making bubbles rise. The structure of a crystal glass is slightly rougher which will bring out the bubbles better.

When janet and bill beckman built their house about four years ago in The Colony at White Pine Canyon, Janet knew the kitchen — or kitchens, as it turned out — would be a main priority. The avid cook and gardener enjoys entertaining, and she often throws dinner parties for as many as 30 people. To meet the couple’s entertaining needs, the Beckmans built an 11,500-square-foot home with eight

bedrooms and a kitchen area on each of the three floors. They rent the home through Resort Property Management while they spend time in their Florida home, but Beckman says they are spending more time in the Park City area these days. What she loves about the main kitchen, located on the middle of the home’s three levels, is the floor plan. It’s designed as a large, open

space that flows into a dining area that seats 14 and has a breakfast nook on the other side. Behind the kitchen you will find a secondary space that houses a butler’s area, containing a pantry, a second stove with four burners, an additional microwave, an extra dishwasher and a sink. “The kitchen is very easy to clean,” Beckman says. “I chose granite that is weathered and honed so the surface doesn’t show anything or stain. There are a lot of spaces to do dishes so people can help. Everything is very convenient.” One of Beckman’s main agendas for the design was that the kitchen be functional for big groups. “We like to entertain and like to eat and want everyone to be right there in the middle and involved,” she says. “We have it all right there. We really enjoy the garden and patio. It is our way of relaxing and enjoying our friends.”
ON A COVERED DECK FACING THE SLOPES OUTSIDE, THE BECKMANS HAVE A WOOD-FIRED OVEN. THEY USE IT YEAR-ROUND TO COOK PIZZAS, ROAST CHICKEN AND EVEN MAKE DESSERTS. THEY GENERALLY COOK WITH A HARD, CHERRY WOOD, WHICH GIVES OFF A NICE FLAVOR.
>> KITCHEN HIGHLIGHTS
• There are three separate kitchen areas, one on each floor of the home, plus an outside wood-fired oven, which the family uses often. • A built-in cabinet houses a Miele coffee maker, with a space for everything you need to make yourself a cup. • A pot-filler water source is attached to the stove area, making filling pots a breeze without having to move them from one side of the kitchen to the other. • Material choices include honed granite, copper sinks, and natural stone on the walls and a few counters for a warm, cozy feel, Beckman says. • In addition to the full-size freezer, there is a large refrigerator with two extra drawers Beckman uses for produce. She says it makes it easy to keep clean and organized.

JANET BECKMAN’S
PIZZA DOUGH 1 1/2 cups warm water, divided 1 teaspoon active dry yeast 4 cups “00” flour* 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon olive oil
POUR 1/4 cup of the warm water into a small bowl and sprinkle in the yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes or until the yeast is hydrated and creamy. Place flour, salt, yeast mixture and remaining water in a mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes to combine. If the dough appears too wet and sticky, add 1 tablespoon of additional flour at a time while mixing until the dough takes on a shaggy appearance. Drizzle with oil and mix for 2 more minutes. The dough should form a smooth ball. Turn the mixer off, cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes. Resume mixing on medium-low speed for 3 minutes, or until the dough forms a smooth ball, clearing the sides of the bowl. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature for 2 1/2 hours or until doubled in size. Remove the dough from the bowl and turn it out onto a work surface. Roll the dough into a log and divide into equal portions of desired size. Lightly roll the portions into balls using the palms of your hands, like a cage over the dough, while making a circular motion. Do not use flour. Place the balls in a dough box or baking pan and cover. Let them rest 20–30 minutes. Shape the dough on a floured, wooden peel; top as desired; and bake (in a wood-fired oven or very hot inside oven). * Beckman says the secret to the recipe is in the flour. She uses Antimo Caputo “00” Pizzeria Flour, available on Amazon. Her favorite pizza is topped with wild mushrooms, fontina cheese, shaved truffles and truffle oil.

PHO-LICIOUS OFFERINGS SILVER LAKE LODGE OFFERS INTERNATIONAL OPTIONS FOR LUNCH THIS WINTER BY ALLISON ARTHUR
WHILE PIZZA, burgers and nachos are staples in the ski world for lunch and après-ski, and are undeniably great choices, sometimes you need to break out and try something new. And this winter at Silver Lake Lodge, Deer Valley® is offering you that chance. With a new street-food style taco stand in the main cafeteria-style area and Bald Mountain Pho in the adjacent room, diners can still grab something quickly while trying a new, soon-to-befavorite lunch dish. To go along with its new food offerings, the entire Silver Lake Lodge has received a face-lift for the winter, offering a more modern feel to the still-classic, ski-in,
ski-out mid-mountain spot. Jodie Rogers, Deer Valley’s director of food and beverage, says the updated decor pairs well with the new lunch options. “We are embracing the modern times and are excited to see how people take to the tacos and pho. It’s really good for the chefs to be able to be creative as well.” While the popular soup, pizza, burger and salad stations are still available, diners will now have the option of the taco station as well. With three choices of proteins (shrimp, beef short ribs or carnitas), guests can choose one kind or mix them up. The chef will top each taco with fresh salsa and serve them with a side of cabbage slaw. A selection of sauces will
be available to spice up your soft-shell taco too. In the Bald Mountain Room, Bald Mountain Pho is a minimalistic oasis where the only choice you will need to make is what draft beer you would like to go with your bowl of steaming pho. The traditional Vietnamese soup offers a beef or mushroom broth, served with either wagyu beef or tofu. Your soup is filled with rice noodles and topped with sprouts, Thai basil, chilies, mint, scallions and limes. Then, you can finish the bowl with homemade hoisin sauce and other condiments like soy sauce and chili oil. Bon appétit!

CABIN FEVER
DEER VALLEY OFFERS AN INCREDIBLE RETREAT FOR A PRIVATE, MID-MOUNTAIN LADIES LUNCH.
TUCKED into a pine forest on Bald Mountain, just an easy
ski down from the Deer Valley Resort’s Sterling Lift, lies a small log cabin that plays home to weekly wintertime religious services. Heated with a wood stove, this rustic cabin is also available to rent for a midday meal. Last winter, Deer Valley’s banquets department prepared afternoon fondue for a group of women skiers, taking ladies who lunch to a whole new level. This slope-side feast was reminiscent of a European skiing experience, providing the group with a satisfying and warming break between ski runs (and a little liquid courage, too). Given the cabin’s ability to accommodate
40 | DISHINGPC.COM
larger groups, a private meal here is a fun way for vacationing families, ski clubs or even bachelorette parties to mix up the skier’s lunch routine. Rest assured, this isn’t your typical mountain meal. The crew at Deer Valley hauled their world-class cuisine to the cabin on snowmobiles. Platters of smoked salmon and salad and trays of sandwiches were just the beginning. Once inside, the crew prepared the traditional fondue over a small gas flame. Piles of Deer Valley’s famous cookies followed for dessert. To book your private meal at the Sunset Cabin, call 435645-6610.

outhwatering ingredient combinations are one thing, but when your food is presented in a wow-factor kind of way, it makes dining out even more exciting. Whether it’s cooking steak on a Himalayan salt rock at your table, drinking a spiked hand-spun milkshake that’s piled high with s’mores toppings, or enjoying a cocktail with lavish garnish that mimics diamonds, these options are instant crowd (and palate) pleasers.

Yuki Yama Sushi WAGYU BEEF TATAKI
>>
BY JENN RICE
At Yuki Yama Sushi, you can have your beef any way you like it. That’s because you actually get to cook it on a sizzling Himalayan salt block right before your eyes. Bite-sized wagyu beef medallions are brought to the table raw and served with cilantro, red pepper and a delicious citrus soy sauce. It’s then up to you as to how long it cooks, and the salt block adds natural seasoning while the beef sears. No matter what the case, it will be so tender that you’ll hardly have to chew it. And because you get to play chef, it’s a dish that everyone — including kids — will enjoy.

PISA WEDGE
Think of your favorite wedge salad piled as high as the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. OK, not that high, but this is definitely a fun way to eat salad. The tower consists of fresh iceberg lettuce that’s layered vertically with heirloom tomatoes, red onions, applewood smoked bacon and locally sourced blue cheese crumbles — topped off with a special house-made blue cheese dressing. The fun factor: deciding how you’ll take down the structure in order to consume it. 50 | DISHINGPC.COM

DARK CHOCOLATE SESAME COMPOSITION
>>
Lespri Prime Steak and Sushi Bar
Desserts at Glitretind are so luxe that we consider them a grand finale. Many intricate details go into each of the creations, and one in particular that stands out — or up — is the dark chocolate sesame composition. Think dark chocolate cake with scoops of sesame semifreddo and deep chocolate sesame gelato strategically placed on top, and two black sesame nougatine pieces carefully stacked to finish it off. This statue-like
creation might look more like a piece of abstract art than dessert, but you won’t think twice after tasting the first bite. Wahso
COCONUT CRÈME BRÛLÉE >>
It’s quite impossible to dine at Wahso without ordering their best-selling coconut crème brûlée dessert. They go to great lengths to make sure it’s worth every calorie consumed. Real coconuts are cracked inhouse and serve as the actual dish for the special coconut-flavored crème brûlée. It’s then topped with a pyramid macaroon
and Pocky sticks. The only hard part will be figuring out which component to indulge in first, as it’s several desserts combined into one dish — or coconut shell, in this case. Shabu CITRUS PLUM SEA SCALLOPS
Sure, Shabu is known for its sushi, but the gluten-free citrus plum sea scallops creation is one to try next time you dine at this hot spot. A circular bed of ginger risotto is placed in the middle of the dish while wok-seared vegetables elegantly line the rim. The scallops are then arranged on the outer edges of the dish, and fried lotus chips are perched atop the risotto to create height. Props to the chef, as the flavor profile and presentation are both phenomenal. Edge
SEAFOOD TOWER (SEE OPENING SPREAD)
Edge’s Seafood Tower is the ultimate seafood experience in Park City. A towering display of chilled Maine lobster, king crab and oysters is wheeled out on a cart to your table — because it’s that impressive — and presented with Creole remoulade, pepperinfused cocktail sauce, Meyer lemon foam, lemon pepper aioli and fresh lemons. Rumor has it that after a seafood tower is served, it creates a ripple effect in the restaurant. The beauty of it is that everything is sliced, deveined and ready to eat, so you don’t have to worry about getting down and dirty when it comes time to dig in.

New Mexico chili-buttermilk onion rings are then stacked on top, while mashed potatoes and a roasted corn and pepper hash are added to the base of the dish. Whether you cut right down the middle and mix all the flavors together, or dip the onion rings in the mashed potatoes, you can’t go wrong when ordering this. J&G Grill at St. Regis Deer Valley MAINE MUSSELS MARINIERE
J&G Grill includes a curated selection of Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s most prized dishes from his restaurants around the globe, so it’s no surprise that his mussels made the cut.

And no fret, it’s fancy enough that you’ll feel classy even when soaking up the broth with grilled garlic bread.

tooth, it’s piled high with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, bits of graham crackers and a house-made toasted marshmallow. You can also order a spiked version with your choice of spirit in case you want to turn it into an adult-friendly dessert (Baileys pairs nicely).

But after staying at the Washington School House, you’ll be forever spoiled with Executive Chef Ernesto Rocha’s whimsical byrequest creations that he makes for guests staying in house when time allows. An egg stack, for instance, was created by stacking three alternating layers of fresh sliced tomato rounds, scrambled eggs and spinach, and then topped with cherry tomatoes sliced in half and garnished with mixed greens.

Nothing beats a classic margarita — until you taste the Vida Paloma at Boneyard Grill & Saloon. It’s crafted with Vida tequila reposado, freshly squeezed lime juice and grapefruit juice, creating a ridiculously refreshing combination. But what really makes it over the top is that it’s served with a “diamond stick” (aka a stick of rock candy), which brings out the sweet agave flavor from this highland tequila. The result? A playful yet sophisticated cocktail that you can enjoy any day of the year.

NESTLED IN THE MOUNTAINS and
away from the hustle of a big city, Park City is a small resort town. The food scene, however, feels big. With the area’s countless sushi restaurants, a South African sandwich shop, an Irish pub serving traditional shepherd’s pie and even a spot for kosher food, your palate will not ever get bored. Park City packs a punch when it comes to variety.
<< S O U T H A F R I C A N JAFFLZ
Du Monde Gourmet owner Chef Meryl Van Der Merwe grew up eating jaffles (toasted pocket sandwiches) in Cape Town, South Africa. After a summer visit to her hometown, Van Der Merwe says her love for the tasty bites sparked an idea: opening her own sandwich shop. “I had these wonderful memories of having leftovers served in jaffles by the campfire,” she says. “My desire to create an elevated sandwich concept that was both wholesome and inspired by global cuisine led to the creation of Jafflz.”
Within the year-old restaurant, chef Van Der Merwe takes jaffles to another level, chocking them full of globally inspired ingredients. From the signature savory Ba-bootie Jaffle, stuffed with authentic South African curry and ground lamb, to the Full Moon Thai Jaffle, with Thai curry chicken, rice and eggplant, the menu offers something unique to try with each visit. MEXICAN EL CHUBASCO
Locals and tourists flock to this hidden spot when they need a Mexican food fix. The menu boasts generational family recipes from head chef Yuliana Cortes, who hails from Michoacán — a cultural melting pot in central west Mexico known for its rich, flavorful cuisine. While the popular homemade salsa bar is not to miss, it’s the chile rellenos and camarones a la diabla (spicy shrimp) that keep us coming back for more. DISHINGPC.COM | 55 9

Our food is unique, and we are excited to see locals and visitors taste authentic food from the Chihuahua region of Mexico,” Jones says.

Originally from Iran, Houman Gohary landed in Park City by way of San Francisco in 1999 to help open the food and beverage outlets for American Skiing Company. It was only after 30 years of cooking classic French food that he decided to go back to his native roots and open Good Karma, an Indo-Persian restaurant. “There was a demand for vegetarian and healthy options in Park City, and we decided that it was a good match for us,” he says. “The dishes that I prepare reflect on my subconscious mind and my upbringing. I remember when I was a child and waking up to the smell of cardamom, cinnamon and aromatic stews. I try to create similar
experiences for my guests in Good Karma.” His dishes feature family recipes with a creative culinary twist. From vegetarian samosas (baked, not fried) to lamb curry with Morgan Valley lamb, the offerings bring mouthwatering and healthy options to diners out West. SWISS ADOLPH’S
Chef Adolph Imboden, with deep roots in Switzerland and a culinary résumé to rival that of any top chef, is responsible for bringing the first fine-dining restaurant and true Swiss cuisine to town. In 1974 he opened Adolph’s White House on Park Avenue. “I think I was the only Euro restaurant at that time in Park City,” he says. “It was a very difficult beginning, as at that time there were not too many international customers here. But it didn’t take too long for people to realize that we had good food.” Today, his namesake restaurant, Adolph’s, features an Alpine-inspired menu with favorites such as rack of lamb, veal (a specialty) and fondues made with traditional Swiss cheese. “Fine food was always a part of my life, as my mother was a great gourmet chef in her own restaurant,” he says. His mother taught him three important lessons that have stayed true: never take shortcuts, use topquality ingredients and stay consistent. ITALIAN CORTONA ITALIAN CAFE
Husband-and-wife team JoAneen and David Stamegna came to Park City to ski, fell in love with summertime in the mountains and ended up staying year-round. “During one of our trips to Italy we thought it would be great to have a small piece of Italy in our backyard,” says JoAneen. The duo
then opened Cortona Italian Cafe in Kimball Junction. With David’s parents being first-generation Italian immigrants and JoAneen growing up with her grandmother who came to the United States from Italy in 1921, there’s no need to question authenticity in this mom-and-pop restaurant. “Some of our dishes are straight from my grandmother’s kitchen, and some are mine,” JoAneen says. “I do all the cooking each night after we make the pasta during the day. David and I both make all the gelato from scratch.” Customers rave about the fettuccine and meatball dish. “The pasta, sauce and meatball are made in-house, just like I did with my grandmother.” GRAPPA
In 1992, there were a limited number of restaurants in Park City. When Bill White, owner of Bill White Restaurant Group, took a first glimpse of what is now Grappa, he was reminded of a Tuscan farmhouse and realized the space’s charm. Between the grapevine motif, terrazzo tile and outdoor terrace, you’ll feel like you’re dining countryside in Italy. Decor aside, the food is out of this world. When White was growing up, his mother, Mary Lou, who is full Italian, would make osso buco — slow braised veal — on holidays and for special occasions. Today, this recipe is on the menu at Grappa and remains a customer favorite. I R I S H >> FLANAGAN’S ON MAIN
Flanagan’s on Main is full of rich history and delicious food. The idea of the restaurant and pub came about to pay homage to Charlie Kenworthy and Father Flanagan. “My grandfather was one of the first orphans of Boys Town Orphanage and raised money for the
Father’s dream of creating a safe haven for orphans,” says owner John Kenworthy. The establishment is a local favorite for authentic Irish fare and beverages. Classic Irish spices and ingredients are imported,
and grandfather Kentworthy’s beef stew and whiskey chicken boxty can be found on the menu. Fun fact: The restaurant pours the most Guinness draught beer in the state of Utah. DISHINGPC.COM | 57
It can often be difficult to find proper kosher food when traveling, especially when you’re in a small town. Park City Mountain Resort offers a fully functioning kosher restaurant via The Bistro, which also caters to those who observe Sabbath on Friday nights, the seventh day of the Hebrew calendar week. Senior Director of Food and
Beverage Zeke Wray noted that offering this type of cuisine to anyone also helps to “dismiss the misconception of what kosher food is.” The meats are all glatt kosher, meaning they’re raised on organic kosher feed and slaughtered humanely. The menu offers a variety of mouthwatering options such as turkey latke croquettes, a spin on traditional Jewish potato pancakes.
MEDITERRANEAN AND MIDDLE EASTERN REEF ’S RESTAURANT
Reef’s Restaurant is the result of chef and owner Asi Yoked’s aspiration to bring a blend of high-quality Mediterranean, European and Middle Eastern cuisine to Park City. What started out as Reef’s Kitchen in 2005 quickly evolved into a larger-scale restaurant that’s now located on Main Street. “I use all the knowledge I have gained throughout my life — from my grandmothers and mothers to the streets of different cities and countries,” explains Yoked, who is originally from Tel Aviv, Israel. From baba ghanouj and hummus to lamb chops and Moroccan salmon, expect a culinary adventure when dining at Reef’s, or its food truck, which occasionally makes appearances at special events around town. ASIAN BANGKOK THAI ON MAIN
Bangkok Thai on Main is the spot to go to when you’re craving flavorful fare done right. Dishes are prepared from fresh exotic ingredients that will awaken your senses immediately after you enter the restaurant. The chefs will also tailor spice levels in their entrées, so opt for mild or get a taste of the real deal just as you
would overseas with extra seasoning. The menu boasts traditional dishes, such as red and green curries and pad Thai, but you can also take advantage of the Taste of Bangkok tasting menu that allows you to sample several dishes in one evening. Bangkok Thai on Main is also known for its award-winning wine list, which sets it apart from your average Thai restaurant. S H A B U S H A B U H O U S E >>
Hot pot cuisine originated in Mongolia, China, more than 1,000 years ago during the Jin Dynasty. Because of its popularity, it quickly spread throughout eastern Asia and was tweaked ever so slightly in each region — think seafood instead of meat on the coast. Nowadays you can find hot pots all over the world, including at Shabu Shabu House in Park City. Shabu Shabu’s Japanese-style hot pots include your choice of meat, seafood or veggies that you cook yourself on the seasoned hot pot. Owner Chi Wang is usually behind the open bar seating in the restaurant to direct on what, how and when to add everything to the broth. Remember, you’re the chef, so it’s up to you to cook it to perfection. <<

20 miles west of downtown Park City in the foothills of Salt Lake City lies Bombay House, considered one of the best Indian restaurants out West by many. Owner Daniel Shanthakumar, originally from Chennai, India, opened the doors to the first location in Provo, Utah, in 1993 after graduating from Brigham Young University in Hawaii. oughly
“The original plan was to start Bombay House in Hawaii,” he says. “But things took a different turn and here we are.” With people driving from all over the state, he quickly realized there was a need for expansion, bringing Salt Lake City and West Jordan locations into the mix. “Bombay House is a restaurant that runs on keeping tradition alive,” he says. “Our recipes
are based on using fresh ground spices, simple ingredients and transforming those into food that is healthy, hearty and that tastes just like the food from India at the time of our ancestors.” Dishes are prepared via the oldest forms of Indian cooking, from using a tandoori oven to grilling skewers over charcoal.
The most popular dish, chicken tikka masala, entails marinated chicken cooked in the tandoor and combined with creamy sauce that is “spiced to perfection.”

ALTHOUGH Utah may be landlocked, Park City’s proximity to Salt Lake City International Airport means fresh fish is just a few hours away. “[This] allows us to have ocean-to-table fresh fish available to us for sushi and entrée items,” says Scott Benson, sushi chef at Lespri Prime Steak Sushi Bar. “I can’t think of any other ski town that offers that sort of absolute fresh sushi and seafood.” If you’re in the mood for a roll or three, we’ve rounded up these mouthwatering offerings: Yuki Yama Rice might sound basic, but sous chef Cedric Woodward-Poor raves about the restaurant’s quality and distinction. In terms of good sushi, “it is imperative to make the rice the best that we possibly can,” he says.

STAY: Nick’s Cove nickscove.com Start your trip in one of Nick’s Cove’s rustic yet luxurious 1930s cottages, tucked into a tranquil part of Tomales Bay. There are 12 cottages on the property (many on pillars above the tidal water), but consider springing for Al’s, named after one of the original owners from when Nick’s was a basic roadside getaway. This cozy waterfront cottage offers all the comforts: a king-size bed covered in plush down and fine linens, a wood-burning stove and an oversized claw-foot soaking tub (the marble bathroom floors are heated). Your stay includes breakfast delivered to your door; enjoy your meal on the serene deck perched on the edge of the bay. Bonus: Cellphone service is spotty, so you have no choice but to unplug and relax. 64 | DISHINGPC.COM

Every table in this glass-decked restaurant has a view, but before or after dinner take a stroll to the boat shack at the end of the pier and sip on a specialty cocktail by sunset or candlelight. Saltwater saltwateroysterdepot.com Saltwater is a neighborhood restaurant and oyster depot that feels like a hyperlocal secret. Opened in 2012 by aquatic farmer Luc Chamberland with support from crowdsourced funding, the teeny restaurant offers local wines on tap, a menu that changes with the harvest and oysters that are shucked just moments after they have left the bay. If you order fresh fish, know that it was likely brought in by a local fisherman (there’s a standing invitation to bring your own catch to the kitchen door). Making this all the more special is the restaurant’s partnership with Pickleweed Point Community Shellfish Farm, which trains youth to work in the oyster industry.
DO: Point Reyes Farmstead Creamery pointreyescheese.com The Giacomini family began farming their land in 1959, when Bob and his new bride, Dean, purchased this dairy farm to sell milk to the local creamery. They started with 150 cows and raised the herd to more than 500 by the mid1990s. When it was time for the couple to slow down, they were faced with a decision: sell the dairy or ask their four daughters if they wanted to get involved. The land stayed in the family, and now the Giacomini daughters (Karen, Diana, Lynn and Jill) have taken their dad’s operation to another scale. Today they pro-

electric bikes and let the extra power propel you through the rolling wine country hills. When you return, kick back with a bottle of local bubbly around a large fireplace in the communal courtyard. The hotel’s 20 guest rooms are simple yet wellappointed, with luxurious linens, soaking tubs and rain showers, and private balconies with views of the Mayacamas Mountains. With an on-site restaurant, Redd Wood, and the Girard Tasting Room next door, North Block has all you need.

Then retire to one of the resort’s 62 rooms, all designed to double as your own private spa with a concealed massage table, a soaking tub and a double vanity (some are even steam rooms). EAT: Ad Hoc + Addendum and Bouchon Bakery thomaskeller.com/ad-hoc If you’re fortunate enough to visit during

ADDENDUM
Press pressnapavalley.com This sleek, light-filled restaurant is first and foremost a celebrated steakhouse. But it would be an understatement to say chef Trevor Kunk knows a thing or two about vegetables. His preparations result in vegetable dishes — like a bite-sized tomato sandwich or fiddlehead fern and pea salad — that are just as tasty and satisfying as a juicy cowboy ribeye. Press serves prime beef from legendary Bay Area butcher Brian Flannery and seasonal produce from the restaurant’s two private gardens. What they can’t produce on their own land is sourced from local farmers, markets and neighboring purveyors. The wine program is equally impressive, exclusively featuring wines from Napa Valley, from the 1950s through today. Tip: Ask for recommendations from sommeliers Kelli White and Scott Brenner; you’ll probably discover some new favorite wines.

Lucy Restaurant & Bar lucyrestaurantandbar.com Located inside Bardessono, Lucy serves garden-inspired cuisine that embodies the resort’s modern aesthetic and eco-spirit. Here, most everything in your cocktail glass and on your plate starts in the property’s garden, just steps from the restaurant’s kitchen. What’s not grown on-site is sourced from regional suppliers, from Napa Valley lamb farmers to local organic dairy producers. The extensive wine list highlights small producers from around the world and many organic, sustainable and biodynamic vintners. Chefs are happy to provide garden tours to showcase herbs and produce and offer guests samples — from Persian lime wedges to one of eight mint varieties. DISHINGPC.COM | 67

Girard Winery Tasting Room girardwinery.com You can taste wine almost anywhere in the Napa Valley. Finding a food and wine pairing is more challenging. Girard Winery’s tasting room offers this private tasting with five courses, all sourced from area restaurants to match Girard’s wines. In early summer, you might get the 2013 sauvignon blanc paired with a tuna mango roll, or the 2013 petite Syrah with the creamy mushroom soup. This personalized experience (by reservation only) is an intimate way to experience the wine, and one of the only ones like this in the valley. You’ll leave with plenty of wine-pairing knowledge from Girard’s in-house experts — and probably a wine club membership as well. The Terraces terraceswine.com There are the heavy hitters in the wine-making business, with tasting rooms that feel like Disney World. Then there are the darlings, so special that you want to keep them to yourself. The Terraces falls into the latter category. A tasting here (by appointment only) goes beyond sipping good wine.

Napa Valley, Calistoga
STAY: Calistoga Ranch calistogaranch.aubereresorts.com The town of Calistoga feels worlds apart
from the rest of Napa Valley. If you really want to get off the radar, check into this luxury retreat, situated on 157 acres in a secluded, oak-lined canyon on the outskirts of Calistoga. When this property was built, developers constructed the buildings around the surrounding rock outcroppings and old-growth redwoods. The result is a property that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living. Picture a stay in a well-appointed treehouse that has luxurious linens and plush bathrobes (there’s even an outdoor private shower in each lodge). Take a hike before an afternoon wine tasting without ever leaving the property. This is the only resort in Napa Valley with an on-site vineyard. Their Sotero Vineyard produces merlot and cabernet sauvignon sold in the restaurant, and guests can even learn to prune and join in on the harvest and crush.
EAT: The Lakehouse This private restaurant, available only to guests staying at Calistoga Ranch, is reason alone to book a room at this resort. The restaurant is encased mostly in glass to reveal views of Lake Lommel. Here, you’ll find a four-course prix fixe menu, which allows you to choose the direction of your dinner from these seasonal plates made from local ingredients. Perhaps you’ll start with caviar service, or simply a salad made with lettuces grown on the ranch. The resort’s greenhouse supplies The Lakehouse with tomatoes, melon, pepper, squash, eggplant and more. The extensive wine list is spectacular; sample the merlot or cabernet sauvignon produced from their Sotero Vineyard.
Roman Spa Hot Springs Resort romanhotsprings.com This unfussy hotel in the heart of Calistoga is more accessible price-wise, and an ideal location for exploring this funky little town. From whirlpool suites, whose Jacuzzis are filled with local geothermal water, to standard guest rooms, Roman Hot Springs has something for all types. Grab some sun in the courtyard pool deck (make sure to take a dip in the mineral pool, heated to 92 F) and then head over to the baths for an authentic Calistoga mud bath. With an on-site barbecue area, this resort is also a nice place to have a night in and cook for yourself, after you’ve sourced local food from the nearby farmers market.
DO: Traditional Mud Bath bathsromanspa.com/spa-menu/ Calistoga is famous for its mud baths, so make sure to put this on your agenda. This 100-year-old tradition is meant to remove toxins and relieve sore muscles, so it’s perfect after a long bike ride or lots of wine tasting. The Baths at Roman Spa is one of two places in Calistoga where couples can enjoy the experience in a private room, but there are many other resorts where mud baths are available. Their one-hour treatment begins by immersing yourself in a bath of mud — a combination of Calistoga volcanic ash, natural peat and natural geothermal mineral water from local springs. After soaking in mud, you’ll immerse yourself into a mineral bath, then relax in a quiet space until you have cooled off.

TAKING ON TINDER SOCIAL MEDIA DATING IN A TINY TOWN
I L L U S T R AT I O N BY A DA M L A R K U M
BY NINA RESOR I have a boyfriend, and i met him on tinder. I know, WTF? But what is more surprising? A) That I have a boyfriend? Or, B) That I met him on Tinder? Judging from the reactions of friends and family, the former seemed to be the more shocking news. Thanks, guys. Here’s the story: I stopped by a Dishing editor’s house to pick something up and jokingly offered up the idea of going on Tinder and writing a column about it. I was maybe 1.5 percent serious. A week later, I am on my first Tinder date — strictly for research purposes, of course — after said nameless editor and another friend created a profile for me and subsequently “swiped right” on every man within approximately 1,000 miles. Thank you, bitches. My now-boyfriend was one of the earlier dates I
went on in my Tinder stint, and aside from the Osama bin Laden beard he was sporting at the time, I thought he was pretty awesome. But, really, why that beard? We have discussed this on multiple occasions since, and he said it was just something he was “trying out.” OK, well, go try that out in airport security and see where that gets you. Considering this is kind of an etiquette column, I thought I would try to impart some wisdom (I use that word loosely) on how to approach Tinder and online dating in Park City. 1. This town is too f-ing small, so if you’re not ready to be talked about, then get off and get out. That is my No. 1 piece of advice, but if you are taking advice from me, that is probably your No. 1 problem. DISHINGPC.COM | 71
IF I CAN’T TELL WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, I’M PROBABLY NOT GOING TO SWIPE RIGHT. EVEN IF YOU DID KILL A GRIZZLY WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. 2. The first Tinder date I went on had a girlfriend. Yes. He admitted it to me straight up. “But she’s not my wife, so I can do whatever I want.” His words, not mine. Thanks, but no thanks. Look for a ring! If you can’t find that, look for a liar! Damn it, I should have started out with Christian Mingle. 3. One of the guys I went out with couldn’t locate France on a map. True story. Do I expect you to know where Montenegro is? I can let that one slide. But France? I know we Americans are challenged, geographically speaking…especially when it comes to that big foreign place over there called Europe, but come on! Get a clue. 4. Alcohol can greatly help an awkward situation, so drink heavily. Or don’t. On this topic, it turns out maybe I don’t have the best judgment. But if you are capable of acting like a normal person while drinking, throw a couple back. It really takes the edge off. 5. Don’t have any expectations. People’s pictures on Tinder are obviously the most flattering ones of them ever taken or show them doing something badass. For example, my main profile picture was taken on my 21st birthday. By the time this issue goes to print, I will be 31. Another one is of me fly-fishing…which I have done approximately one time ever. It’s not representative of me in any way. So don’t think it’s weird 72 | DISHINGPC.COM
that the guy waiting for you at the bar doesn’t look as good in person and maybe no longer has the six-pack you saw in that super-rad wakeboarding photo with all his bros. People are just trying to make themselves look as attractive and badass as possible. Because… 6. Tinder is totally superficial, so no one cares that you’re doing a backflip off Mount Everest or that the bloody elk you shot with your crossbow is 97 points. If I can’t tell what you look like, I’m probably not going to swipe right. Even if you did kill a grizzly with your bare hands. Wah, wah, wah. Like I haven’t heard that one before. 7. Be aware that some people on Tinder are just looking to get laid. So plan and act accordingly. To be honest, I was expecting to meet some real pieces of work, and I did, but not as many as I thought I would. Really the most overwhelming conclusion I came to was how short, broke and underwhelming some people were. There was the guy who hadn’t washed his hair in probably three weeks. Dude, I can see my reflection in your hair grease. It might be time to dust off the shampoo bottle. There was also the guy who messaged me the following: “Hey, want to come over and watch porn on my bedroom mirror?” Good one. I don’t even care enough to be offended, but for future reference, maybe
you should work on your opening line. There was the guy who told me he broke up with his ex-girlfriend because English was not her first language, and she therefore did not “get and fully appreciate his wittiness.” Excuse me, Jon Stewart. English does happen to be my first language, and guess what? You’re not funny. So take your highbrow humor and shove it up your ass. I began my foray into Tinder for writing purposes only, but I have to admit it was fun! And of course a lot of the people I did meet were nice, normal guys, but that’s not very fun to write about. I’m sure a lot of them left dates with me thinking, “Thank God that’s over! What a cynical bitch!” I just reactivated my account to see if I could find any last-minute gems to include in this column, but so far, none. I should probably take my own advice now and get off Tinder since I have a boyfriend; however, you may see me back on there shortly, because he will probably dump me after he reads this.

Local ski resort buffets take the concept of an all-you-can-eat meal to another level. OUTSIDE Las Vegas, buffets can get a bad rap. From the Chinese smorgasbords to the all-you-can-eat college cafeteria plan, buffets have earned a certain reputation of excess food that lacks in quality. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to change that perception. Wintertime in Park City brings some of the best buffets you maybe have never heard of. From endless piles of fresh seafood to createyour-own Asian noodle bowls, here are some favorites from around town. Just make sure to call ahead for reservations; these spots are so in demand that even a celebrity would find it hard to get into them.

SEAFOOD BUFFET AT DEER VALLEY RESORT
For many vacationers (and even locals), the iconic Seafood Buffet at Deer Valley is the culinary highlight of the week. It’s no wonder this buffet is listed in the Zagat Restaurant Guide as one of its top restaurants. Imagine platters of Dungeness crab, piles of freshly shucked oysters, and carving boards of roast duck and prime rib. You can even order live Maine lobster 48 hours in advance. Every evening from Thursday through Sunday, the cafeteria of the Snow Park Lodge is transformed from its daily skier’s lunch into a seafood extravaganza for this impressive meal. If you avoid buffets because you want table service, don’t worry. The wait staff here pours your wine (from an extensive wine list) and clears your plates for you. And if you’re not a seafood lover, there are plenty of other options, from Caesar salad to baby back ribs. Be sure to save room for one of the house-made desserts. There are so many — chocolate s’mores tart, salted caramel panna cotta, white chocolate banana cream pie — that you may just be tempted to start with the sweets.
APEX’S SKIER’S BUFFET AT MONTAGE DEER VALLEY
P H O T O S P ROV I D E D BY M M O N TAG E D E E R VA L L E Y
While there are many options to drool over, a standout at this skier’s lunch buffet is the build-your-own Asian noodle bowl station. This option offers a traditional pho and a laksa broth, to which you can add wheat or rice noodles and beef or chicken, and then top it with a variety of fresh vegetables, sauces and spices. Of course, no après-ski meal is complete without chicken wings, so the crew at Montage always does a wing of the day, whether the choice is buffalo, teriyaki or something more exotic. This year, the buffet will introduce a Comfort Corner, with foods like smoked cheddar mac and cheese and braised short ribs. For kids, there’s always a selection of favorites: chicken tenders, mini corn dogs and fruit salad. You won’t leave hungry.
GLITRETIND’S SKIER’S BUFFET AT STEIN ERIKSEN LODGE
PHOTO PROVIDED STEIN ERIKSEN LODGE
There’s a good reason there is always a crowd of people in the restaurant lobby waiting to take their seats: Glitretind’s skier’s buffet is extremely well thought out and put together. Popular since its inception, almost as many winters ago as the hotel opened, the daytime buffet takes reservations — and if
you expect to get a good time, make one. The seemingly endless array of options gives you a reason to ski in to this meal, even if you’re so stuffed afterward that you can’t ski out. Start with one of the signature soups, such as wild game chili, which is always on the buffet line. Then move to the chilled station for popular salads like the ahi Caesar or antipasti. In addition to a carving station, there is an abundance of fresh seafood, such as crab legs, shrimp, mussels and oysters. The rotating selection of hot items changes daily, from prime rib to short ribs to filet mignon. On the action stations, one day you may find Chinese food, and the next day you’ll discover crepes or Philly cheesesteaks. On Sundays, Glitretind also offers a special selection of brunch items. So whether you’re in and out for a filling midday ski meal or you have a late lunch and call it a day, make sure to unbuckle your ski boots and make a stop here. One final tip: The breakfast buffet, offered daily during ski season, is a fantastic way to start your day, and it’s typically a little less crowded.
STEIN ERIKSEN LODGE WILD GAME CHILI 4 tablespoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons black pepper 1/2 cup pasilla chili powder 1/2 cup New Mexican chili powder 2 pounds buffalo, diced in 3/4-inch cubes 2 pounds elk or venison, diced in 3/4-inch cubes 2 pounds wild boar or pork, diced in 3/4-inch cubes 1/4 cup olive oil or corn oil 2 pound (4–5) onions, medium diced 6 garlic cloves, chopped 2 cups coffee, brewed 36 ounces tomato juice 2 bay leaves 6 12-ounce cans diced tomatoes 4 1/2 cups beef stock or 3 12-ounce cans of beer 1/2 gallon water Sour cream Green onion, chopped
Mix all the dry spices together and use half the mixture to season the meat. Heat oil in pan (it can’t get hot enough). Brown meat 10–15 minutes in the pan. Add onions and garlic, sauté 3-4 minutes. Add coffee, tomato juice, bay leaf, diced tomatoes, remainder of spice mixture, stock or beer, and water. Simmer for 2-3 hours, until meat is tender. You may have to adjust consistency with more stock or beer and check seasonings. Garnish with sour cream and green onions.

With family-style options and pricing (the eight-piece fried chicken is a steal at $28), Bird & Barley is the perfect choice if you want a home-cooked meal but don’t feel like cooking. The $9.95 plate meal comes with a meat and two sides, like macaroni and cheese, broccoli slaw or roasted beets. Don’t eat meat? The vegetarian plate comes with three sides, or “put a bird on” any salad for a lighter meal. If you’re a beer aficionado, then Bird & Barley is a must-stop, with some exclusive brews, such as Wasatch Brewery’s Jalapeño Cream Ale.

S AMMY’S BIS TRO A Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives favorite Open for lunch and dinner daily | 1890 Bonanza 435.214.7570 | sammysbistro.com Owner Sam Harris worked as a waiter and line cook in his native town of Park City long enough to know what the locals wanted. He originally started a smaller version of the concept at the Park Silly Markets, and his food was so sought-after that he decided to open a permanent restaurant. Sammy’s has since become so popular that Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives chose to feature the restaurant on the show. The concept is to offer a varied menu that pulls influences from Thailand to Texas. The bistro can be a quick, counter-service option for lunch on the go but is equally appealing for a more leisurely dinner. The menu offers hearty salads and sandwiches alongside great shared starters. Favorites include a grilled romaine wedge with a four-cheese dressing and the barbecue shrimp, which come with grilled jalapeños wrapped in bacon.

SHABU Freestyle Asian cuisine Serving dinner nightly from 5:00 until close. Reservations recommended. 442 Main St. | 435.645.7253 | shabuparkcity.com The chef at this Main Street “Freestyle Asian” restaurant was trained in the kitchen of Japanese master Nobu Matsuhisa. If you are familiar with the Asian fusion cuisine of some of his restaurants, you are sure to find similar skill and precision at Shabu. Get started by choosing a sake from the extensive list, and share a plate of the blistered green beans before you move on. The sushi is outstanding and artfully created, and there are plenty of other options if you want something warm and hearty. Try the wagyu beef hot rock served with a ponzu butter dipping sauce or a bowl of shabu-shabu, which comes with a bento box of sauces and fresh udon noodles — a good choice for a group dining experience. The restaurant, which opened in 2004, is owned by two brothers, Bob and Kevin Valaika — who love Park City’s mountains as much as they do wowing their guests.

Yuki Yama is just the place. The Main Street restaurant is a staple for locals, who often dine at the sushi bar, and a treat for visitors in town. If you are with a group, ask for the tatami room in back, which can seat up to 24 guests, or put yourself in the hands of talented Japanese chef Kirk Terashima and ask for omakase, or chef’s-choice-style dining. If you are craving a filling meal, try the homemade ramen, which takes more than a day to develop its traditional flavor. While the restaurant specializes in melding exotic flavors and ingredients — like bone marrow, tongue and pork cheek — simpler dishes, such as pot stickers, tempura and chicken katsu, are sure to please even pickier diners.
