The Original

“I loved the ambiance of this place and the bar itself. Their dishes extend far beyond the traditional steakhouse fare –informal fine dining at its best!”

“Don’t let the relaxed ambiance lead you to the conclusion that it’s forté is only steaks … Though it does have the best in town.”

— The Los Angeles Times

And Still The Best

Original and iconic, The Sawtooth Club has been a mainstay in downtown Ketchum’s dining scene longer than just about any place else in town. It was originally opened in the 1930’s and was for many years a favorite haunt of Ernest Hemingway himself. Nowadays this Main Street institution is more popular than ever, maintaining its authentic rustic charm, while offering an irresistible blend of America steakhouse classics, contemporary bistro fare and their welcoming mountain-town vibe. This is The Sawtooth Club …

FEATURED CONTRIBUTORS

KIRSTEN SHULTZ doesn’t remember a time when she didn’t love photography. As a professional photographer for more than half her life, most of those years have been spent photographing from Sun Valley. Published in many publications, including the New York Times and Martha Stewart Weddings, her work is driven by her love of the arts, music, food, and travel. When not shooting assignments on location or in her studio, she can be found chasing the light with her husband, daughter, and dog.

(“Game On,” page 6)

HAYDEN SEDER is a full-time freelance writer and editor based in her hometown of Ketchum, Idaho. Since graduating from Sarah Lawrence College in New York in 2010, Hayden’s work has been featured in numerous publications including SVPN, The Weekly Sun, Idaho Press, Boise Weekly, Visit Sun Valley blog, Sun Valley Magazine, Taste, The Source, Western Home Journal, and more. When not putting pen to paper, Hayden loves rock climbing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and traveling.

AMANDA RENÉ NAGY is a self-professed camera nerd and Nashville native with a BFA in Photography from Watkins College of Art at Belmont University. She is of French and Hungarian descent, which has inspired a love of traveling and eating. When not behind the camera, her passions include hiking the Sawtooths, snowboarding and spending time with her dogs. Nagy says she is not a trendy photographer. “Color is the absolute beauty about an image,” she says. “Real color in a photograph makes an image timeless!” Nagy has called Hailey home for about 10 years.

SAVORY WILD GAME RECIPES TO SLAY YOUR GUESTS

With the advent of autumn, the days grow shorter, and the shadows grow longer on the mountains. The hunters in our community linger in the woods at dusk to try their luck, and if victorious, their bounty will grace our tables.

Elk, deer, pheasant, quail, duck—wild game is great for a variety of reasons. Darker in color and packed with protein, B vitamins and minerals (iron and zinc), game is considered leaner than farmed meats. According to a study by Purdue University, wild game has an ideal ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids, making game one of the healthiest sources of good fat on Earth. But most importantly, wild game is bursting with deep, rich flavor that ensures any

meal featuring it won’t soon be forgotten. But how to prepare? Here, Scott Mason, head of the fabled “Mason Mafia” of local restauranters and chefs, has been serving up mouthwatering meals at Enoteca and the Ketchum Grill for 30 years and continues to receive rave reviews from locals and visitors alike. “The Grill” was selected as one of the “eight best Ski town restaurants” by Snow Country Magazine with “food rivaling Manhattan’s best,” representing what is best in “American Cuisine” – local and seasonal venison, lamb, poultry and fish, with many of the recipes (including the three featured here) dating back to the early days of the Mason’s tenure, recipes that have been refined over time.

6 TASTE | Winter 2022 / 2023

Ginger Soy Elk Sausage with Curried Pear Chutney

Always a favorite at The Ketchum Grill. A relatively easy preparation makes this dish super popular, and it’s a great way to use all that extra ground elk.

Ingredients for Chutney:

28 small pears diced

1 cup vinegar (apple cider vinegar or vinegar of your choice)

2 cups brown sugar

2 tablespoons curry spice

½ cups black currants

Ingredients for Sausage:

2½ pounds ground elk

2 tablespoons ginger, chopped

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

½ cup soy sauce

1 shallots, diced

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

½ cup sesame seeds

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

Directions for Chutney: Dice pears into small pieces, discarding seeds and stems. Place pears and all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until pears and currants are tender and flavors have melded. Let cool and then jar. Store in the refrigerator.

Directions for Sausage: In a medium bowl, mix together the elk, ginger, sugar, soy sauce, shallot and sesame seed, reserving ½ of the sesame seeds for coating the sausages later. Once all ingredients are well mixed, shape the mixture into 1 oz. balls and press flat into patties. Spread reserved sesame seeds on a plate and coat flattened elk patties with seeds. The elk sausage patties can be sautéed in a pan with a little butter or oil, baked in an oven or grilled to perfection. Once cooked through, serve sausages with a spoonful of curried pear chutney on top and a drizzle of yogurt.

Pheasant Leg Dolmas

“This is a fun Greek and Turkish classic, normally made with lamb,” says Mason. “The pheasant legs make a nice light dolma.”

Ingredients:

3 pounds boned and ground pheasant legs

1 teaspoon chopped garlic

2 yellow onions, diced

1 bunch fresh mint, chopped ½ cup currants

½ cup diced tomatoes ½ cup pinenuts

3 tablespoons olive oil

1½ cups raw, white rice 3 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

30 grape leaves

3 cups white wine ½ cup lemon juice

Directions: Sauté onion and garlic in 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes until soft. Set aside to cool. In a bowl, mix the ground pheasant with the raw rice, currants, pine nuts, tomatoes and spices. Stir in the cooled onion and garlic. With a tablespoon, shape the pheasant mixture into golf ball-sized ovals and wrap each oval into a grape leaf. Place grape leaf dumpling/dolmas into a deep pan with a tight-fitting lid. Cover with inexpensive white wine and lemon juice and cook covered in a 350˚F oven for 45 minutes. Serve with a light lemon cream sauce or tomato-mint relish.

Suggested wine pairing: Vietti Arneis or Vietti Perbacco- Nebbiolo

spotlight on: BIGWOOD BREAD CAFÉ AND BAKERY

Carly Tempest, George Golleher and Bryan Tempest, the team behind Bigwood Bread, have built a cult following for the delicious fare and mouthwatering pastries, breads and treats they create from their Ketchum location. What started as a small bakery and café with six chairs nearly 25 years ago, has grown under the guidance of the family to a bakery shipping artisan breads to specialty grocers and restaurants in eight Western states.

Bigwood Bread’s commitment to quality has been unwavering and each loaf is baked locally, using only the freshest and most wholesome ingredients from sustainable regional sources. “Our flour is milled to our exact standards by family farmers in the Northwest,” says Bryan. “We never use artificial ingredients and all of our products are handmade from scratch, and are GMO- and preservative-free.”

Food just tastes better that way—which might explain the cult following. Bigwood Bread regularly ships their Idaho-made cookies, breads, granolas and honeys to private clients all over the country. The café expanded to their current location (built to the International Green Construction Code) in 2014, and the addition of Boise’s Wildflour Bakery, folded into the family in 2021, ensures that both Ketchum and Boise will enjoy the quality and consistency of their delicious breakfast and lunch offerings made from scratch. Step inside the doors of Bigwood Bakery Café in Ketchum or Wildflour Bakery & Coffee House in Garden City (Boise) to enjoy the hum of an artisan bakery … where every dish is handmade with love.

spotlight on: ROOTS WINE BAR & BOTTLE SHOP

Chris and Rian Salvatierra have decades of experience in the wine and restaurant business and have always dreamed about opening their own wine bar. When they first moved to the Wood River Valley in 2008, they were fueled by their passion for wine and food. Backed by their experience in the Napa Valley, they were driven to share their knowledge with their Wood River Valley community. After returning to Napa in 2014 to work in the winery business, the couple finally took the plunge and returned to their beloved Valley to follow their dream.

Opening in 2022, Roots is born out of Chris and Rian’s collective professional experience, working with world renowned wineries and chefs, along with years of travel and research. “Our wine selection is based on our personal relationships with vintners, winemakers, importers, and distributors," say Chris, a certified Sommelier. "We also focus on wines made on a smaller scale with an emphasis on winegrowing with integrity and low intervention winemaking.”

An expansive retail wine selection is available to peruse with the assistance of an educated staff. Guests may buy bottles to take home, or enjoy at Roots with a bite, and may also choose from the rotating offerings of wines by the glass, weekly tasting flights, beers, and ciders. The menu is geared toward lunch and happy hour snacking, with an array of cheese and charcuterie boards, snacks and small plates. Roots has chosen to partner with regional distributors, farms and artisans in an effort to support local business like themselves in the Valley.

Roots will also be hosting monthly events, showcasing different wines and winemakers as well as pop up wine dinners and tastings. To learn more, sign up for their newsletter at rootshailey.com.

Quail Pasta

“Thirty years ago, we used grill chicken livers as the protein on this mustardy pasta. The grilled quail elevates the dish from rustic to refined,” says Mason.

Ingredients for Pasta: ¹/³ cup Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon minced garlic ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes (softened in warm water) 12 Kalamata olives 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 2 cup chicken stock (preferably homemade or low salt) ¼ cup heavy cream (optional) 6 portions fresh linguine ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Ingredients for Quail: 6 sleeve boned quail 1 pinch kosher salt 6 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 2 tablespoons olive oil (if cooking in a pan)

Directions for Pasta: Place all ingredients, except the cooked pasta, in a saute pan large enough to hold the 6 servings of cooked pasta, bring to a boil, add cooked pasta, and toss together. Heat sauce and pasta until boiling and desired consistency is reached. If the pasta seems a little too dry, just add a touch more stock. If the sauce seems a little too thin, just cook off some of the liquid. With tongs, remove pasta from sauce and divide between 6 serving plates or into one large serving bowl. Pour remaining sauce over the top. Serve hot pasta with the quail arranged on top and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. If you want a lower fat pasta, just leave out the cream. Mason serves the sauce on the thinner side at the Ketchum Grill.

Directions for Quail: The quail used at The Grill is a sleeve-boned or semi-boneless quail, but Mason says wild quail are also terrific. Quail cooks fast on the barbecue, or you can cook them in a sauté pan with a little olive oil. Season each quail on both sides with salt, fresh herbs, and fresh rosemary. In a hot pan or over hot coals, cook the quail to “medium.” Remove from heat and arrange quail on top of linguine.

Elk Saltimbocca

“Normally made with veal, this variation with elk is a favorite among everyone who eats it and lives up to its name ‘little bites that jump in your mouth,’” says Mason.

Ingredients:

2 pounds trimmed elk leg 16 slices of prosciutto 16 sage leaves

1 pinch kosher salt

1 pinch fresh ground pepper

2 shallots, diced

½ cup Madeira wine

¼ pound unsalted butter

½ each lemon juice

Directions: Slice elk across grain into 2-ounce pieces. Pound lightly to the correct shape and thickness. Season with salt and pepper and place one sage leaf on top. Now wrap each piece in a slice of prosciutto and place seam down. Elk may be cooked over a hot coal grill or in a hot sauté pan with olive oil. For the pan: After cooking, remove elk pieces to plate and add shallots to the pan. Sauté shallots briefly and add Madiera wine to deglaze pan. Add lemon and finish with unsalted butter. Serve hot with creamy polenta.

Suggested wine pairing: Dunham Syrah or Fonterutoli Chianti

spotlight on: CAFÉ DELLA, FOOD THAT MAKES

YOU FEEL GOOD

Female founders Ashley Roop and Liza Green opened Café Della with the goal of providing nourishing, fresh foods to the Wood River Valley. For these two women, it is about connecting with others over a shared appreciation of food—as a card they exchanged decades ago reads “it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other & to eat each other’s cooking & say it was good.” With decades of hospitality and management experience at highly acclaimed groups, Ashley and Liza started the café to offer what they believed to be the best of it all - a convenient but refined experience with a comforting, from-scratch menu. Since opening their Hailey eatery in 2019, Ashley and Liza have built a following for their exceptional, wholesome food and superb customer service. Both from families with deep farming roots, these women know that you cannot have good food without great ingredients, so they prioritize local sourcing whenever possible. In both Della’s kitchen and market you will find ingredients from a long list of local producers and farmers such as Lookout Farm, Itty Bitty Farms, Hillside Grain & Bread, Wood River Ranch, and many more. Inspired by both their heritage and the places they have been, you will be delighted by the uniqueness of their offerings that embrace life’s everyday celebrations with quality ingredients, simply prepared. Whether indulging in the ever-popular Della breakfast sandwich, grabbing a cup of what some say is the best coffee around, meeting a friend for lunch, treating yourself to a legendary buckwheat cookie, picking up dinner for your family, or perusing the thoughtfully curated market for delicious food & wine finds, you are sure to find something at Della that hits the spot every single time.

VALLEY SPOTS SERVING UP THE BEST MEAL OF THE WEEKEND

14 TASTE | Winter 2022 / 2023

Like any good tradition, the origins of “brunch” are a bit hazy, but one thing most histories can agree upon is that the word “brunch” was first used in publication by Guy Beringer in Hunter’s Weekly in 1895. Beringer’s words in that article could be said of today’s brunch, often synonymous with Sundays and bottomless mimosas: “Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts you

in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.” Beringer himself did not come up with the mid-morning meal, whose origins are thought to have derived either from lavish English pre-hunt meals or large post-mass meals eaten by Catholics who had fasted beforehand.

Since its origins, brunch has obviously caught on in a big way— with some restaurant’s weekly

brunch overshadowing the meals it serves up other days of the week. There are classic brunches featuring waffles, eggs benny, and Bellinis, and more innovative takes that include caviar and Bloody Marys with a salad bar’s worth of accoutrements. You’ll find a bit of everything at the brunch spots throughout the Wood River Valley, where nothing could be better on a wintery weekend morning than a huge plate of warm breakfast, some coffee, and good company.

AROMA

Ketchum, Idaho

In the spot that formerly housed Cristina’s and run by former long-time Cristina’s employee Juan Flores, Aroma is very much related to its former identity. Serving breakfast and lunch, including many of Cristina’s signature dishes, Aroma also serves weekend brunch complete with pastries, coffee, mimosas, and classics like eggs benedict and

biscuits and gravy. Take a trip from your table to the pastry and deli case to glance over delicate confections, fresh breads, and savory to-go foods.

BIGWOOD BREAD

Ketchum, Idaho

As its name implies, Bigwood Bread has always been, first and foremost, a bread bakery and secondly a restaurant. But the same time and energy spent using local ingredients to make some of the best bread around is put into crafting delicious breakfast and brunch dishes daily at their large space in the industrial area of Ketchum. The breakfast menu is extensive and has standard breakfasts (i.e. eggs your way with toast and bacon) or more contemporary breakfast takes like avocado toast topped with arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lemon vinaigrette. In a town focused on health and fueling for the next adventure, the breakfast bowls are a popular choice like the Baldy Power Bowl: two eggs any style on top of kale, quinoa, mozzarella, corn salsa, and pesto.

JAVA

Ketchum, Idaho

Java’s original coffee drinks, like the famous “Bowl of Soul” (their specialty mocha) have helped propel this once Ketchum-only locale into six locations in Boise, Ketchum, Hailey, and Twin Falls. In addition to their delicious coffee confections, Java serves up delicious breakfast daily that can easily level up into weekend brunch. Start with a few of their housemade pastries like a bacon cheddar

THE CULTURE OF BRUNCHING

Who doesn’t love brunch? It brings friends together and is the ultimate meal for the indecisive. It’s two meal combined into one—with all the best of both and an array of nearly healthy juice-based cocktails to match. Brunch is more than a meal, it is a culture, and one that continues to rise in popularity in America.

But how much do you know about the meal that has crossed continents, cultures and economic classes to land as one of America’s favorite pastimes (yes, “brunching” is an official word in the Scrabble dictionary)? Check out these fun facts about this beloved Sunday tradition.

Hollywood Starlets Had A Role

In a strange twist in travel lore, Hollywood starlets helped make Brunch popular in the United States in the 1930s because Hollywood stars making transcontinental train trips would often stop in Chicago for a mid-trip meal. Stars like Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, John Barrymore, and Clark Gable often stopped for brunch in Chicago since it was the mid-point in their trip—grabbing a latemorning meal at Chicago's Pump Room in the Ambassador Hotel.

Brunch has Aristocratic Roots

The English leisure class spent time in the country hunting with friends (and not just on Sundays), where it was customary to eat a large, hearty meal after the hunt. Featuring expensive and lavish dishes of both breakfast and more hearty supper items, the hunt breakfast was a tradition long before Guy Beringer coined the name “brunch” in his 1895 article.

chive scone or morning glory muffin before the main attraction. Try their huevos rancheros or poached eggs if you’re looking for something classic and hearty or try their cinnamon toast for a childhood throwback.

THE KNEADERY

Ketchum, Idaho

A Ketchum staple since it opened its doors in 1974, The Kneadery’s menu is a long one, making it difficult to decide which direction you want to go for your brunch. Start with coffee or juice or, if you’ve got nowhere to be afterward, try a Bloody Mary or Pomegranate Margarita. Breakfast choices are divided into sections including breakfast specials like Eggs Blackstone (poached eggs with grilled tomato on an English muffin, topped with bacon and hollandaise), griddle items like Belgian waffles and French toast, or country-style omelets.

THE MINT

Hailey, Idaho

The Mint started serving brunch this past summer and offers a fun and lively option on Main Street in Hailey. The focus is eclectic and seasonal comfort food from around the world in a menu curated by chef Kris Lauritsen of Cuisine Wanderer— options range from biscuits with chipotle gravy and jalapeño cheddar biscuits to stuffed

French toast and grilled cheese. A full selection of craft cocktails are also available from the bar and all ingredients are sourced locally when possible, with meals priced to fit every budget.

BLACK OWL

Hailey, Idaho

Black Owl Coffee in Hailey serves up breakfast daily, complete with their full menu of coffee drinks made with locally roasted beans. In addition to a rotation of homebaked goods like muffins and scones, you can score delicious brunch with options like a customizable breakfast burrito, biscuits and gravy, avocado toast, the Black Owl scramble, a BLTA (with avocado and an egg), daily specials, and more.

THE ADVENT OF DAY DRINKING

In many ways, brunch helped popularize day drinking, especially with the advent of the Mimosa and Bloody Mary.

Frank Meier, head bartender at The Ritz Hotel in Paris, 1921 to1947.

Cross-Continental Invention

The history of the mimosa centers on two different bartenders in two different countries around 1925—long before the advent of social media would have made the simultaneous invention of the drink possible. Legend states that bartender Frank Meier invented it at The Ritz Hotel in Paris, while at the same time, a bartender named McGarry invented it at the London Buck’s Club in London. The only difference—McGarry was perhaps a bigger day drinker, since Meier’s recipe calls for one ounce of Champagne and two ounces of orange juice, while McGarry’s ‘Buck’s Fizz’ calls for two ounces of Champagne and one ounce of orange juice.

A Brunch Staple

New York City's King Cole Bar popularized the Bloody Mary, which is said to have been originally invented in France as a tomato juice cocktail billed as an “elixir” … Sounds healthy. Practically a meal in itself, the American version was spiced up and given more substance and can now include everything from bacon or shrimp to jalepeños and pickled vegetables. The invention of the Bloody Mary is another hotly contested cocktail. According to the history of Harry's bar in New York City, bartender Fernand Petiot invented the cocktail, and the recipe was first published in a book called “Harry's ABC of Cocktails” in 1921, while George Jessel of the King Cole Room in New York's St. Regis Hotel also claims to have initiated the Bloody Mary of today.

CAFÉ DELLA

Hailey, Idaho

Café Della is a cozy market, bakery, and café on Main Street in Hailey—the perfect spot for your next brunch. All items on the café’s menu are made daily from scratch and feature lots of local goods and produce. Try a slice of quiche—bacon, spinach, and cheddar or heirloom tomato and fresh herbs—served alongside some greens dressed with lemon and olive oil. The Della Egg Sandwich is another great option, with egg souffle, bacon, spinach, pickled red onion, miso mustard, on a house-made English muffin.

PUTTING STOCK INTO THE CAPITALIZATION OF BRUNCH

Wall Street’s Benedict

The history of the popular brunch dish of Eggs Benedict is also hotly disputed, but many credit Lemuel Benedict, a Wall Street broker, with ordering “some buttered toast, crisp bacon, two poached eggs, and a hooker of hollandaise sauce” at Delmonico’s restaurant in the Waldorf Hotel in New York in 1894.

A Day for Mothers

Mother’s Day is the most popular brunch day in America. And for good reason, since it is tied into the rise in popularity of brunch in the 1930s. Historians believe this rise was due in part to the large numbers of women who entered the workforce in post-World War II America—they needed a break from domestic chores and cooking. In fact, Washington Post writer Ruth Chambers called brunch a “meal for professional women” as early as 1933, restaurants capitalized on the concept, and the rest is history.

Sweep Away the Week

Brunch is the ultimate indulgence. Consider writer Guy Beringer’s famous 1895 article “Brunch: A Plea” (which was published in Hunter’s Weekly), where he wrote that brunch should be a cheerful, socialable event. “It is talkcompelling,” Berigner wrote, “It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.”

PERUVIAN NATIVE BUILDS A DREAM FEEDING WOOD RIVER VALLEY RESIDENTS

Rodolfo Serva looked past the empty picnic tables at Rinconcito Peruvian Restaurant, which occupied a tiny space at the Casino Club, and sighed as he watched the patio fill up at Rico’s Pizza next door.

“I’d hear the noise, the buzz, what’s going on. Rico’s was completely packed, the wine glasses clinking. I said, ‘Wow! I wish one day that that was my restaurant.”

That wish came true for the Peruvian native in July 2022 as he opened Serva Peruvian Cuisine in the restaurant Rico Albright had vacated only a year before.

Wall hangings made of alpaca fiber cover the walls, along with large photographs of Machu Picchu and Peruvian girls in traditional dress as Serva serves up salads with Peruvian corn and quinoa, Peruvian lamb shank stew and a shredded chicken coated in creamy Amarillo sauce served over Idaho potatoes.

Peruvian food is a blend of Asian, Incan, and other European cuisines, which is part of what makes it so unique and delicious—a fact that Serva is dedicated to pushing further through innovation and a focus on upscale cuisine. “Serva’s is Peruvian but upscale. I have to keep updating—that’s the

key to success,” says Rodolfo, “I always look for high quality. I take care of my customers and, as a chef, I feel very proud to represent my homeland with Peruvian gastronomy. I always have food options for everyone”

Serva is the latest in a string of restaurants that Rodolfo has built into an empire. It’s something he could have never imagined 38 years ago when his father brought his family from Canchapalca, a poor town situated in a valley of the Andes Mountains, to Carey to herd sheep for Jim Cenarussa.

“Our town had nothing while I was growing up. My mother tended the cows, alpacas and llamas. My father harvested purple potatoes by hand according to the stars and moon. We used llamas to travel into the nearest town with the potatoes in order to use the bigger vehicles”

Rodolfo tended sheep on the backside of Muldoon Summit with nothing but a dog and horse to keep him company. Then, when it was time to make his own way, he started a cleaning business, named

Serva Services INC, for such clients as Atkinsons’ Market and other prominent Valley businesses. This was the beginning of his business journey.

But his passion was food, nurtured by the food his mother cooked for her family and sold at roadside stands in Peru.

“It runs in my blood, the restaurant business. I would work in food forever because it’s my passion,” he says.

Unfortunately, Rodolfo’s initial timing was bad. Just after he opened Rinconcito, the recession hit, and the construction workers left, seeking work elsewhere. As a result, he lost his car, but he managed to keep going with his cleaning business. And, when an opportunity presented itself, he bought KB’s Burrito in Hailey, to which he immediately added a Peruvian touch.

His daughter, Chyann is now running KB’s in Hailey, with the help of Lili Gomes, who began working for him 11 years ago when she was 17, and now serves as the manager of the Hailey KB’s. Chyann is

“We can make it happen. That’s why I am so happy always,” Rodolfo says.

“It’s been an amazing experience watching him grow over the years of working together as a team. I’m proud of be part of the Serva family,” says Chyann, “We’ve learned what kind of people we want in the restaurant working for us. We’ve learned whom to take advice from when it comes to being on top of your game. We’ve never stopped trying to be the best in town.”

Rodolfo notes he is approaching millionaire status if you consider his property holdings, which include two homes he bought to house staff given the lack of affordable housing in the Wood River Valley. In addition, he hopes to inspire young Latinos in the valley, including his eight nieces and nephews.

In all, Serva employs more than 75 employees, including 15 Peruvians, in the new Serva restaurant.

“It works because we make sure they do everything by the book,” he says, “We feed people good stuff, good meals. It makes me proud.” g

Did you know?

Aji Amarillo is a spicy South American chili pepper that is the key ingreidient in many traditional Peruvian dishes, especialy the creamy Huancaina Sauce (pronounced wan-kay-eena). It is a medium-size pepper (the size of a jalepeño pepper) with vibrant orange-yellow skin, a slightly fruity flavor and a Scoville Heat rating of 30,000-50,000 SHU.

Idaho might be famous for potatoes, but did you know that the crop is originally from the Andes mountains in Peru?

In 1536, Spanish Conquistadors in Peru discovered the flavors of the potato and transported them to Europe.

IDAHO LOVE

Yield: 1 Drink

INGREDIENTS

¹/8 cup raspberries

¹/8 cup blackberries

1 teaspoon lemon juice

¾ shot vodka

2 tablespoons cranberry juice Splash of champagne or prosecco

CREATING

Muddle berries and lemon juice, then run through a thin mesh strainer. Keep the liquid, and pour into a glass over ice. Add vodka, cranberry juice, and a splash of champagne.

RECIPES IN SUPPORT OF LOCAL FOOD AND FARMS OF IDAHO

The state of Idaho has nearly 25,000 farms and ranches spread over 11.8 million acres of land dedicated to farming and raching, with agricultural production accounting for more than 18% of Idaho's total economic output. Agriculture in Idaho began in earnest in the mid-1800s when Mormon settlers began migrating into southeast Idaho from Utah, establishing one of Idaho's earliest farm settlements at Franklin, in Preston County, in 1860. Thirty years later, farming surpassed mining as Idaho's leading economic activity—a position it continues to hold.

Farming and ranching are as integral to Idaho as, well, potatoes and french fries. It is in our blood and on our license plates, and Idaho stands as the third largest agricultural state in the West, with a good portion of the lands dedicated to farming fanning out from the areas surrounding the Wood River Valley, following the course of the Snake River as it cuts across the southern part of the state.

Due to our location near the heart of Idaho's largest agricultural area, residents of Blaine County are uniquely positioned to enjoy fresh locally and

regionally grown food every day—an objective that the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience and Local Food Alliance have put at the forefront of their initiatives to strengthen community-based food systems and support local farmers. With 190 farms in Blaine County alone, there are lots of choices for fresh farm-raised goods and produce.

All these facts were not lost on Wood River Valley native Laine Whittier, who shares her passion for cooking and community in a unique collection of recipes sourcing ingredients from local and regional farms and producers. Last summer, as a 23-year-old student attending the University of Colorado, Boulder, Whittier created a local food cookbook with over 80 original recipes drawing on the abudance of local food available in the area. Recipes for sides and soups, both meat and vegetarian mains, desserts and drinks, utlitize local products from farms and ranches including— B&G Produce and Shooting Star Farm in Hailey, Itty Bitty Farms in Carey, Ballard Cheese in Gooding, Wild Spaces Farm in Glenns Ferry, Big Wood Bread and Sun Valley Mustard in Ketchum, Waterwheel Gardens in Emmett, Desert Mountain Grass-Fed Beef in Hammett, as well as Raw Life Farms, Hillside Grain, Kraay's Market & Garden, and Buck Wild Beef, all located in Bellevue.

Use an 8"x 8" glass baking dish to assemble the tiramisu (I have also assembled in mason jars for a more individual experience). Begin by dipping the pound cake into the coffee, one strip at a time, and rotatiing until soaked. Add to the baking dish until a layer of coffee-soaked cake covers the bottom of the pan. Follow with a layer of the cream mixture, then continue with another layer of soaked pound cake on top. Finish with the rest of the cream mixture, smoothed. Top with sifted cocoa powder. Cover with tin foil and chill for 4-6 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

spotlight on: THE SOUL OF JAVA COFFEE & CAFE

In November 1991, Todd Rippo began what he would have described as a selfish endeavor—he designed Java Coffee & Café on Fourth Street in Ketchum to be his ideal hang-out spot. It worked. Fresh ground coffee, an eclectic atmosphere, great rock ‘n roll music (always playing a bit too loud) and the best vibes, make Java a place we all love to call home.

Under Todd and Lisa Rippo’s guidance, Java grew into a thriving business, always holding true to Todd’s original vision and singular style. Java can now be found in five different locations statewide—the original Java on Fourth in Ketchum, the Hailey location at the Meriwether Building, as well as two locations in Twin Falls and two in Boise (downtown and Hyde Park). Java is always the hippest, hottest coffee shop in town, offering a hand-crafted bakery menu (most of the recipes from Todd’s sister, Annie) and breakfast and lunch items that are as unique as they are delicious. Favorites like the Dirty Hippy Burrito (steam scrambled eggs, smoked bacon, cheese, tomato, black beans, green chilies and green onions) and The Usual (toasted bagel, cream cheese, sliced tomato and cracked pepper) or Frankie’s Oatmeal (steamed milk poured over hearty oats, topped with brown sugar, banana and cinnamon) show the personality and handcrafted touch of the owners and keep customers coming back for more.

Over the years, nearly all the various members of the Rippo family have worked in Java, helping to keep the tradition alive. With the passing of Todd Rippo in August 2020, his sister Annie Rippo-VeneKlasen and his daughter “Frankie” Francesca Rippo will be carrying the torch, keeping the vintage and soulful heartbeat of the thriving business alive. “I grew up within these walls,” says Frankie, “There is a lot of nostalgia here and we are going to keep it going whatever it takes.”

But food lovers in search of Asian and Pacific-rim inspired cuisine need fret not ... because Taveesak Chanthasuthisombut, of popular Dang's Thai, is launching an Asian-fusion concept restaurant called Mr. Dee Restaurant. Scheduled to open January 2023, Mr. Dee Restaurant will feature steak, seafood, craft cocktails and, yes, you guessed it, sushi for all those diners looking for upscale Asian fusion in Hailey.

Keeping Lefty’s Bar & Grill a local’s favorite.

Lefty's Legacy Continues

A comfortable room to enjoy wine at Roots Wine Bar & Bottle Shop.

Wine Bar Lands on Hailey's Main St.

Hailey's new wine bar, Roots Wine Bar & Bottle Shop, the brainchild of Rian and Chris Salvatierra, opened this past summer on Main Street in Hailey (next to The Mint in the old Freshies location). Roots features cheese and charcuterie boards and a rotating selection of small bites, complemented by wines by the glass or bottle, curated wine flights and a selection of beers, ciders and seltzers for snacking.

The local institution that is Lefty's Bar & Grill, located in a historic 1930’s Ketchum home in the heart of town, will remain a local’s favorite rather than being gobbled up by the recent real estate boom in town. Lefty’s has been a local hangout since it opened in June 1993, after being dreamed up by a couple of ski bums named Dave Hausmann and John Peterson and named after their favorite Baldy ski run (Lefty’s Bowl). After John married and moved to the East Coast, Lefty’s has been run by Dave and his dedicated crew, and has become known for serving killer burgers, tasty subs, fresh salads and their specialty—hand cut fries with the perfect amount of seasoning and crisp. Thankfully, locals won’t have to sacrifice another of their favorite watering holes. When Dave decided to move on in the summer of 2022, a group of over 50, generally anonymous, like-minded investors got together to buy the Lefty’s real estate and business in order to keep Lefty’s as Lefty’s, with the sole purpose of preserving Lefty's history, character, and dedication to serving the Ketchum and Wood River Valley locals and visitors with great food and drink. Longtime Lefty’s manager, Don Marchese, who worked as Dave’s right-hand-man for years, will become the face behind Lefty’s. The good news for locals—they intend to be here for a long time.

Java has a hand-crafted bakery menu (most of the recipes are from Todd's sister Annie) and breakfast and lunch menus that echo his Southern California roots. In line with his original vision, Java has always, and continues to, use fresh roasted, fair trade, and relationship coffees and serves it all in an inviting, rock 'n' roll atmosphere where the music is played a bit too loud!

This is our 13th year sourcing the best local organic foods of Southern Idaho. Our soups are ‘other worldly’ and the salads made with our foods are unique and scrumptious. Our grilled sandwiches are to ‘die for’— we make EVERYTHING in house, and when you start with fresh ingredients, the end result is a party explosion in your mouth!

Because we are a bit schizophrenic, our soups switch up every day. But we always have a vegan option and a meat choice. We nearly always have our extremely popular kale salad, but you just have to walk in and see what Brooke or Carissa’s creations are—because they change daily based on seasonal ingredients and the creativity is mind blowing.

The Pioneer Saloon, renowned for perfectly aged, tender and flavorful beef, is typical of an earlier Idaho where ore wagons rattled down Main Street and business was done with a handshake and a drink. Natural woods, mounted game and period firearms help recreate an authentic saloon atmosphere. Originally opened

Dine like a local—head to The Pio! in 1940 as a bar, it went through many changes over the next 20 years before being officially redesigned as a restaurant. It is largely known now for its hearty servings of prime rib and filets. For some, The Pioneer Saloon is the first restaurant to head to when coming into town and the last place to go before leaving. For others, it’s where they met their significant other, perhaps over a Bartender's Margarita. For the Witmer family, it’s their Ketchum legacy. Duffy and Sheila Witmer have been the sole owners of the Pio since 1986. Today with their children they strive to honor a historical classic while bringing new ideas to Ketchum’s restaurant scene.
