A Taste of Jackson Hole | A perspective by 13 year old Max Wilbrecht

Thirteen year old Henry Bartlett walks into a small Thai restaurant called Teton Thai, near the base of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. He sits down waits for the waitress to come and orders the green curry and digs in.

If you’re planning a trip to Jackson Hole Wyoming, here are some tips for the dining in this mountainous region. The valley is broken down into three main groups, town, the village, and the west bank. We will start with the west bank.

The west bank or the west side of the Snake river is filled with restaurants big and small.  One of my personal favorites is the Q- Roadhouse. From steaks to seafood this restaurant is located on the village road on the left if you are going to the village. My personal favorite dish there is the Chicken Fried Chicken. It is mashed potatoes, green beans, and fried chicken covered in a delicious homemade gravy.

Next to the Q is Calico. Calico is all about pizza and pasta. The pizza is very good, and the pasta even better. You can eat inside or outside, and outside is a garden, park, field that you can just hang out in or play football, soccer, Frisbee, or any sport you desire.

In town there are too many great places to eat I cannot fit them all in. First we have The Snake River Grill. This is a fancy restaurant located on the town square. This is probably one of the nicest restaurants in Jackson. One of my favorite things there are their homemade Onion Rings. They are spicy and are huge. The come with multiple dipping sauces and are the best.

For breakfast the spot to go is D.O.G. They have the best breakfast burritos in the world. You can choose from vegetarian spicy, mild, or no spice. The same is for the meat. This small shack is located on Glenwood -hence the name Down On Glenwood.

The village or the Jackson Hole Ski Resort is a great place for eating great food. The Osteria is another Italian restaurant in Jackson Hole, but this one is different. First off the pizza there is outstanding, and can not be compared to any other pizza in Jackson. The pastas are also amazing. But the best thing there is only served for lunch. The burger, this is not just any burger, this is one hundred percent all beef burger with fontina cheese, fried onions, homemade ketchup, oh and it is juicy. Overall the valley of Jackson Hole is a must see it or taste it to believe it place, that should be on your bucket list.
