A Progressive Dinner.........YUM

Our days moved so slow, we were tending to eat a larger meal in the middle of the day..like brunch and not want much at dinner time. However, there are so many wonderful restaurants in Park City we wanted to experience some of them, so I found a walking dinner tour...it took us to 4 restaurants and was perfect. The tour was through Park City Food Tours and was well worth it....is a great way to do many samples. Perhaps we'll try to do this in other cities when traveling. So we took the day slow, and ate light, anticipating the evening "dinner".
We met in a hotel on Main Street, when we left the hotel we stopped along the way to learn a little history...these steps are where the original steps to the city's Main Street were.

This drawing was done by the artist Banksy, during one Sundance Film Festival....another artist came along and tried to destroy it, so the city put it behind glass and sort of framed it. It was just on the side of a building....neat.

...1st was Riverhorse Restaurant.

 We'd wanted to go here for dinner one nite but it never worked out, so we were glad to at least have a taste...as Chef said starting from the left: mushroom and corn with goat cheese on flatbread, pumpkin soup with whipped cream and a pumpkin seed tuile and finally a sweet and soy sesame tuna with Sriracha and a segmented citrus seaweed salad. This was all wonderful, was going to be hard to beat....

Next was Silver Restaurant....very eclectic decor...

they served an amazing octopus salad with fingerling potatoes, crushed olives and pimenton spices.
as well as a twist on the typical mormon roll with chive in grape seed oil.

 Again...very tasty...and the octopus was sooooo tender. we learned they steamed it for hours with corks from wine bottles...they have an enzyme in them that break down the octopus and make it tender, wow, go figure...don't think I'll try it...but was wonderful

The wall hanging behind Denny was specially made ....during one Sundance event a woman took some of it off the wall and tried to wear it out as a belt....wow, what some folks will do...amazing.

Walking down the hill we stopped at the old original train depot...inside the hotel where we started there had been an old picture taken of it many years ago....the same one on the plaque here...the restoration job had been done very well,

Next was Zoom.....this restaurant is owned by Robert Redford......

We started the taste with Chef Kyle's sweet and spicy bison chili. Chef described the dish so that all of our mouths were watering. 

Secondly, they brought out a spinach and ricotta ravioli topped with kale topped with roasted red pepper tomato sauce. Also very good....and different ....so far all the tastings had been very different, exactly what we wanted....variety....samplings

Zoom's restaurant is one of the town's original buildings...in this building they would weigh silver from the mines...they have left the origonal scale....

On the floor you can still see indention in the wood where the scale was where you'd put your silver, pretty darn cool.

Next was The Butcher's Chop House and Bar...where they served up a Black Angus short ribs over mashed potatoes and topped with caramelized onions.

It had been a wonderful evening, we met some nice folks..some more local, some traveling like us.

Our dessert treat came in a little bag, and was a truffle...a very nice finish.

Our guide was wonderful, very knowledeable about the city, the restaurants and other attractions. In fact the next day was Halloween and we learned the coolest thing we could do....and we'd have never known had it not been for this tour.....

It was dark and cool and we headed home...another great day.
