So I am going to backtrack to some of my past food adventures.
July, 2011. Jackson Hole, WY
If you had told me that I would ever vacation in Jackson Hole, WY, I probably would have laughed in your face. BUT when it's a free vacation, yes please!! They have a small, but delicious foodie scene. I didn't get too many pictures but I will tell you that you have to go to Snake River Grill. (I suggest making a reservation during the busy season). We sat at the bar and it was a blast! A couple a few seats down got the homemade doughnuts and we were all salivating over them! They had said they would never be able to eat all of it, would we like to try it?? Um, yes. Yes I would. So they shared and sure enough, it was like heaven in my mouth. They served them with a vanilla creme sauce, raspberry coulis, and a chocolate sauce.
Then we found this adorable little place called Cafe Genevieve.
They had a few tables inside, but a gorgeous patio. We decided it looked right up our foodie alley. The menu changes based on seasonal availability.
Snake River Brewing Co. has some REALLY good beers. You can find them all over Jackson Hole.
I had the venison chop, cooked medium. They served it over a jalapeno-bacon polenta cake and sauteed spinach. (I might be drooling a little just thinking about it, and it's only 10 am)
My mom had a salad that we are still talking about. It was a warm arugula salad served with a lemon vinaigrette, asparagus, pancetta, and a soft poached egg. Once you cracked open that yolk, it mixes with with the dressing, and the warm and cold components makes everything mesh so well.
This was the view from the back porch of our cabin. At night, there were so many stars that it lit up the sky. There is something to be said for a vacation in the country like this.
Until next time... (which hopefully won't be years.)
