Loving Vermont this time of year! Ski season can not come soon enough! It’s always fun to see some of NYC sophistication in the gorgeous mountains far away from here!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Executive Chef, Josh Berry led a team of talented chefs including Aaron Butts of Joseph Decuis restaurant in New Jersey; New York food writer, Ian Knauer; Executive Chef, Jason Tostrop from the Inn at Weathersfield and Shawn Calley from The Inn at Essex in Essex Junction, Vermont.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a great honor for the Lodge to host such an outstanding group of chefs and culinary experts in the name of the James Beard Foundation. I can\u2019t think of a more exciting way to kick off one of the best times of year here in Vermont for seasonal ingredients,\u201d says Chef Berry. \u201cWith the soon-to-launch winter menu, this dinner was a welcomed kick-off to my team\u2019s favorite time of year at Stowe Mountain Lodge.\u201d<\/p>\n

The James Beard Celebrity Chef Tour began in 2004 as a way to bring the unique experience of dining at New York City\u2019s historic James Beard House to cities around the country. At each Celebrity Chef Tour dinner, many of the nation\u2019s top chefs unite to create an exceptional multiple course dinner, each paired with premium wines that reflect the outstanding culinary craftsmanship presented by each chosen chef.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving the opportunity to expose people to the James Beard Foundation in a state we had never been to before, was an amazing experience, especially in such a truly beautiful spot,\u201d says Jeff Black, President of the James Beard Celebrity Chef Tour. \u201cAnd the food just blew everybody away. It was great to have such a talented group together for one night in Vermont.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much like dinners at the James Beard House in New York, guests have the rare opportunity to interact with the participating chefs while enjoying the luxurious atmosphere of some of the country\u2019s finest restaurants, including Stowe Mountain Lodge\u2019s renowned farm-to-table restaurant, Solstice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great honor to host such a respected group of culinary experts at the Lodge and at Solstice,\u201d says Robert Clarke, Stowe Mountain Lodge\u2019s Director of Food and Beverage. \u201cIt was only indicative of what we offer to all of our guests who dine with us, whether it\u2019s a group of 20 or a table of 2 people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Solstice, Stowe Mountain Lodge\u2019s award-winning restaurant, features innovative artisan cuisine in a relaxed, yet elegant, setting. Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook Spruce Peak, with d\u00e9cor by coveted design and craft makers, Shackleton Thomas, based in Bridgewater, Vermont, Solstice reflects the natural elements of the luxurious alpine lodge. The strong relationship with neighboring food purveyors and farmers allows Stowe Mountain Lodge to offer a unique and authentic farm-to-table dining experience for guests and larger meeting groups alike.
