Grilling The Chefs

Best Jackson Hole Breakfast "The chilaquiles at Bon Appe Thai. It's actually more like migas, which is a dish with eggs and corn. I'm from Santa Fe, so this is my kind of food.”
Local’s Lunch “The reuben at Sweetwater.”
Best Kept Secret "The patio at Horse Creek Station. After kayaking, I'll sit out there and order the pulled pork sandwich."
Most Unique Regional Dish "The huckleberry malt at the Emporium in Victor, ID."
If you only had one night to go out, where would you go? "I'd go to the Four Seasons lobby lounge, order a Hendricks gin with lemon and lime on the rocks and an appetizer, and listen to the live music.”
Best Wine Selection “Rendezvous Bistro - good wines for affordable prices."

Kevin Humphreys, GameFish at the Snake River Lodge

Best Breakfast "The Bunnery's croissant breakfast sandwich."
Local’s Lunch “Pica's. I get something different every time, but I really like the tacos al pastor and the chicken Milanesa torta.”
If you only had one night to go out, where would you go? “I'd go to the Rendezvous Bistro and order the tuna tartere.”

Best Kept Secret “Gordito's. It's good Mexican home cooking. I like the beef tongue tacos.”
If you only had one night to go out, where would you go? “Thai Me Up for the pineapple rice and Pacific pad Thai. And a Thai Garita to wash it down.”

Best Jackson Hole Breakfast “I love the huevos rancheros at Nora's.”
Local's Lunch "The chicken Milanese torta at Pica's."
Best Value "Sunday's all-you-can-eat pizza night at Old Yellowstone Garage.”
Best Kept Secret Oktoberfest at Stiegler's. There's a buffet with everything from the menu, and usually a band.

Tim Libassi, The Blue Lion

Best Jackson Hole Breakfast "Nora's - the food is good and the location is convenient. I usually order the breakfast burrito."
Local's Lunch “I love the deck at the Sweetwater and everything there is good.”
Best Kept Secret “Pad Thai or some other noodle dish at Teton Thai. No one seems to know about that place except for locals.”
Best Wine Selection "For wine shops, Dornan's has the best selection; for restaurants, Koshu is the best.”
Most Delectable Dessert “Jeff Raymond's are the best in town, served at Sweetwater and Horse Creek. I like the chocolate hazelnut mousse torte.”

Josh Spifak, Nani's House of Pasta

Local's Lunch “I go to Backcountry Provisions. There are a lot of options, but I usually get the Pilgrim: roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry chutney and Muenster cheese. It's like Thanksgiving on a roll.”
Best Value “The Million Dollar Cowboy Steakhouse. Included with your entree, you get two really good sides, any salad on the menu, and a great steak. You can walk out of there spending $35 and be very happy.”
Best Kept Secret “I like Koshu and I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves. I try to get in on one of my nights off. I order the unagi (freshwater eel) filet and the five-spice duck. And tres leches for dessert.”
Best Wine Selection “Rendezvous Bistro has a lot of good bottles of wine on their list and reasonably priced glasses.”

Ben Westenburg, Koshu

Favorite Local’s Lunch “I always find myself at the Village Cafe, usually eating a reuben or a slice of pizza.”

Best Kept Secret "The eggs Benedict at Shades. I don't think anyone knows about it."
