That summer is for festivals, markets, and getting out is a gross understatement. And I've been able to do the same. This post includes a bunch of sites up and down valley. What I'm sharing here contributes to Rand McNally's designation of Glenwood as America's most fun city also.In the past weeks, I've eaten or had drinks at Tempranillo in Basalt, Wild Fig in Aspen, Zheng's, Pullman, Juicy Lucy's and Fins in Glenwood. (I'll stay home this winter--right.)
And here are experiences to repeat: Great Gazpacho at Tempranillo, creamy humus with some texture, airy baba ganoush on the Plato del Sol at Wild Fig.
As for Zheng's, if you like ginger and martinis, they can be convinced to make you one, even if it is not on the menu if you tell them how to make it :). Their yellow and green curries are very nice. We've been sharing one curry entre and sharing the cucumber salad too.
So two carnivores and two vegetarians walked into Juicy Lucy's: They ordered the Sahara Pinotage/Shiraz.
One of the guests was from South Africa and gave it a pleasant nod (also for the price/bottle). He enjoyed the elk steak and sides. Though this was dinner, one guest asked for salmon on a house salad, usually served at lunch. No worries, and our diner said JL's typically do a nice job with the salmon. As for the veggies, they liked the salad and the stuffed portabello, but wouldn't re-oder the artichoke.
The service at JL's is very good--word has it there is a 60 hour training for wait staff. We hope their roof top dining area opens soon.
