Are you looking for the Best Meals in Park City, Utah?

Deer Valley Are you looking for the Best Meals in Park City, Utah? Tupelo

Carl, Heather and I agree with Emily Summers from Deer Valley Resort and highly recommend the hot Buttermilk biscuits with honey butter at Tupelo! We cannot wait to eat them and everything else again!


Carl and Heather raved about the Beef with Barley made with Nirman Ranch Sirloin which they both said was nearly like risotto! They loved it. I had the tasty Mary’s Airline Chicken which had great spices and was so juicy. This chicken is cooked by Sous-vide which uses hot water immersion to cook food slowly over a long period and then you have succulent and tender meat.


Next time we are eating the tempting desserts FIRST!


Thank you to Chef Matthew Harris, the entire team and especially our server, Sean O.



Are you looking for the Best Meals in Park City, Utah? Waldorf Astoria Park City

After skiing all day, are you wondering where to dine?


Heather, Carl and I loved POWDER at the Waldorf Astoria Park City. The Red bicycle wheat and beer batter bread with black Hawaiian sea salt and Wisconsin butter was a delicious beginning. I loved the carrot ginger citrus bisque!


We shared the simple artisan greens and the wood grilled cauliflower. It was hard for me to share a taste of my buttermilk fried organic chicken, because it is so outrageously good! Heather loved the guajilli rubbed buffalo tenderloin and Carl highly recommended his unique Ora king salmon from Tasman, New Zealand. See more photos on Facebook.


Thank you to Chef Michael Zachman, Nick, Ryan and of course, Danielle!



“Powder is the ideal location to gather for breakfast, lunch, après, dinner and drinks with unique fresh and flavorful menu offerings for the entire family. We offer indoor private dining and additional outdoor season seating with views of the pool and scenic outdoor courtyard.”


Congrats Waldorf Astoria Park City

Are you looking for the Best Meals in Park City, Utah? HIGH WEST DISTILLERY 


People often ask me, “Can you drink in Utah?” YES YOU CAN!


At High West, you can have Whiskey that is distilled in Utah and was named Whiskey Distiller of the Year in 2016! They make craft spirits which you can find in 49 states and internationally but it might be best if you come in and taste them yourself with some fantastic food. I love that for Pioneer Day they make the historic Mormon whiskey recipe! YES! Mormons used to drink and have their own whiskey recipe.


Carl and Heather loved the smoked cheddar, bacon and jalapeno mac but my favorite was the warm corn and pepper salad.  What else to eat? The Bison Burger with caramelized onions and the chicken schnitzel. YUM! Oh and try the pretzels too!



HighWest FACTS:

2006 High West Becomes Utah’s First Legal Distillery since 1870. Yippee Ki-Yay!

FIREWOOD

 Whether you live near Main Street, Park City, Utah or you are in town to ski and celebrate, I can promise the food, service and company will be fantastic at Firewood Park City. We chose to go there to celebrate my very first art sale at Artworks Park City. Carl, Heather and I were ready to enjoy our evening but were unprepared for the great lengths the team would go to accomodate us. I have several food challenges which were no problem at Firewood. We dined on incredible food and even tasted new things that quickly became favorites.


 


Wondering about some of my other favorites? Read my article about Amazing Meals, my story in Trivago and watch my Park City videos.

The Struggle that was Mt Taranaki, New Zealand

Shot on my Canon 5d mk III and a Zeiss 15mm Milvus f2.8 lens, with my camera settings at 20second exposure, f3.2, ISO 640. I was using a basic travel tripod to eliminate shake and blur in the image.


Edited in Lightroom, I adjusted the saturation and shadows to make the tones of green and olive on the mountain stand out and increased clarity to add to the visibility of the stars and the crispness on the lake’s surface.
