Bar has been around forever and is fun. You can tell it's packed during ski season and on the weekends. Bar stools are horse saddles. A little awkward getting on and off those but whatever. They were out of the house brand beer. Fail. But we had some other local brews that were good. MDCB doesn't have anything on tap. Weird? I think so. I kind of like my draft beer.
On to dinner. Locally sourced produce and meats. Homemade bread. Awesome. Started with homemade wheat bread with chipotle honey butter and smoked trout with dill and capers in cream cheese spread. Both phenomenal. Bread good taste but leathery crust. Appetizer was Elk and huckleberry bratwurst. Hello! Great job on the grill. Great texture and flavor. Very juicy. Loved it.

Entrees were Elk filet for Hubs and Bison ribeye for me. Nice surprise on ribeye. It came topped with crab meat and a hollandaise sauce. Ribeye was excellent flavor on its own. Mixed with crabmeat and hollandaise, it was the bomb. Elk filet was nice. Very tender. Different flavor. Almost had a sweetness to it. Not gamey at all. Our server attributed that to being grass fed Whatever it is, it's working for you. Sadly, no dessert. Too stuffed.

4.5 microwaves. Recommended.
Afterwards we made our way to the Jackson Cinema and saw We're the Millers. Freaking hilarious. I still laugh thinking about some of those scenes. I may have to see it again. Had a box of hot tamales, my fav candy -- and they were fresh! Left my bags of souvenirs there at the theater. Remembered around midnight and it was already locked up tight. Had to call for 3-4 days and send an email BUT the theater did write me back and mail me my stuff, so Respect! Much appreciated.

Looks kind of foo foo to me but still good eats.
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to think you would not know foo foo if it bit you in the ass.
