Local chef wows Jackson Hole Thanks to local caterer Judith McQueen, Sun Valley was well represented at the firstever Jackson Hole Culinary Conference last fall. But what Judith thought was going to be a fun foodie conference turned out to be a whole lot more. Judith won the inaugural event’s Iron Chef-style cooking competition, but what she’ll really remember was having dinner with the conference’s keynote speaker, Charlie Trotter. The famous, selftaught chef and successful author gave his last public appearance at the conference, folThe late Charlie Trotter lowed by a dinner with Judith and a few others. Trotter passed away at his home in Chicago just two days later. Said to be acting odd and not looking well, Trotter’s last speech was still inspirational. He reminded the assembly that, “Generosity is the key to everything.” Judith shares her amazing experience with Kate Elgee for a special Web Extra story.
