The Couloir Menu
Chef Wes Hamilton has put together a delicious seasonal menu to compliment this unique dining experience. Evolving from his concept of simple but precise food, he uses basic but bold flavors and products from local vendors to ensure the quality of his dishes. Making a conscious effort to use products from vendors in Wyoming, Utah, Montana and Idaho, Chef Hamilton aims to improve food excellence and economic sustainability by buying from local growers, providing healthy foods and reducing the carbon footprint. The menu only uses free range and natural meats, sustainable fish, and seasonal fruits and vegetables from local farms in order to uphold a “farm to table” policy.
The all natural and economically sustainable foods used at Couloir, as well as other mountain restaurants, are an important aspect to the overall JHMR theory of environmental excellence at every level. From the moment guests’ step off the Bridger Gondola, they will sense the overall concern for protecting the surrounding fragile environment with the attention to recycled products, renewable lyptus woods and solar enhancement in the sustainable building design of the Bridger Restaurants.
Check out Couloir and other JHMR restaurants' eco-friendly practices:
