The Year 2012 In Review
 | | Tony G Jazz Trio @ Sunday Harvest Dinner |
Vail Village Farmers' Market Kelly spent her Sundays during the summer at the Farmer's Market here in Vail. Each week we saw a unique and fresh menu created for our Sunday Harvest Dinners. This has been one of our busiest summers yet, and by all accounts; the food fare was fantastic. You can see Tony G. and the guys playing jazz music for Sunday Harvest Dinner in the photo to the right. Great Memorable Events Thank you to everyone who joined us this year for any of our special events. Each year we like to invite some of our good friends from the industry into the restaurant to share, discuss, and consume the wonderful local products that they create. A few of the most memorable events from this year were the Bourbon Dinner with the crew from the Buffalo Trace Distillery, our Whole Hog Butchering Dinner (with Mark Denittis), and our first annual Meet Your Farmers Dinner (featuring our local farmers). Horseback Riding For the second year in a row, Kelly was the featured Chef for the Vail to Aspen horseback riding hut trip - hosted by Bearcat Stables. This 3 night excursion takes guests through the 10th Mountain Division backcountry hut system here in Colorado. Each evening Kelly prepares delightful mountain fare while everyone relaxes around the campfire.
