The Sawtooth Club in Ketchum, Idaho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our server Kara (who resembles Maggie Gyllenhaal but much more attractive) reasons that The Sawtooth Club is the number one restaurant in the country. \u00a0That was news to me so I asked how she arrived at that conclusion. \u00a0Her reasoning is that the Sawtooth Club has been the highest rated restaurant in the Sun Valley for five consecutive years. \u00a0The Sun Valley is currently rated the number one ski resort in the country. \u00a0Ergo, one highest rated restaurant plus one highest rated ski resort equals the best restaurant in the country. \u00a0That’s akin to fuzzy math, but Kara is so cute I was almost inclined to agree with her.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the balcony of our rental in Ketchum, Idaho we could almost make out the steep, grassy slopes which weeks before had been covered in snow. \u00a0What we couldn’t see at all was the craggy Sawtooth Mountains which backdrop the village of Ketchum and the fabled Sun Valley. \u00a0Most of the valley was shrouded in pea soup-thick soup with a persistent rain falling throughout much of our two day stay. \u00a0The Sawtooth Mountains hold a special place in my imagination as well as Hollywood’s. \u00a0Movies such as the visually stunning Jeremiah Johnson (1972) and The Revenant (2015) showcased the rugged men surmounting jagged mountains and the even more jagged teeth of ferocious grizzlies. \u00a0All those staged reality survival television shows pale in comparison with the rugged reality faced by America’s mountain men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First Floor Dining Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Discover Ketchum<\/strong><\/a> website illustrates some of the lure of this Sun Valley gem: “Ketchum is a vibrant community nestled in the Rocky Mountains of central Idaho. Our authentic mountain town is set against a backdrop of blue skies, crystal clear waterways, endless hiking and mountain biking trails and world-class skiing. Ketchum’s lively downtown boasts a variety of restaurants, shops and art galleries, and is home to numerous cultural events throughout the year. For residents and visitors, Ketchum offers a high quality of life with a small town feel<\/em>.” \u00a0 What the site doesn’t make clear is just how expensive it can be to live in the Sun Valley. \u00a0Let’s just say it’s a place beloved by billionaires. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing we probably couldn’t afford those restaurants frequented by the area’s deep-pocketed tycoons, we still managed to dine at the “number one restaurant in the country.” \u00a0The Sawtooth Club sits on a very busy Main Street not too far from our rental. \u00a0Its storefront is understated and rustic. \u00a0Its interior is appointed in wood. \u00a0Wood, wood, wood everywhere. \u00a0Three floors of it. \u00a0It’s definitely got a masculine look and feel. \u00a0Is it any wonder legendary actor Steve McQueen considered it one of his favorite hangouts back when it was known as “The Yacht Club.” \u00a0You can almost imagine “Bullitt” driving the clogged streets of Ketchum to make his 6:30 reservations (not that he needed them).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Fresh Northwest Steamer Clams<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Sawtooth Club website describes its culinary fare as \u00a0“a unique blend of American steakhouse classics, fresh seafood, wild game, unique pasta dishes and much more. Many entrees are cooked over live, mesquite-wood fire, and all are prepared with a singular creative flair<\/em>.” \u00a0The menu–dining room and bar–is indeed unique and definitely diverse, but it’s not one of those menus that tries to offer everything to anyone. \u00a0It’s not a compendium of everything you could possibly want to order. \u00a0It’s one of the more intriguing menus we’ve experienced in our travels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though similarly landlocked, Idaho is closer to the ocean than the Land of Enchantment. \u00a0We reasoned that seafood is probably flown in fresh on a regular basis. \u00a0That made the Fresh Northeast Steamer<\/strong><\/em> Clams<\/strong><\/em> (a full pound, steamed in a broth of butter, white wine, garlic and herbs, served with sliced Bigwood Bakery baguette) a logical choice for a starter. \u00a0Good call! \u00a0Summertime clams are sweeter because they feed on plankton and other nutrients that wash up from the shoreline. \u00a0These had a well-balanced flavor profile with a nice proportion of sweet and briny taste of the sea. \u00a0The broth was outstanding, the type of broth for which you’ll need more bread so you can sop it all up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Chicken Senegalese<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Regular readers are probably tired of my declaration of love for curries. \u00a0Whether Indian, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, et al, I love them all. \u00a0Even my favorite meteorologist<\/strong><\/a> is a curry…of sorts.\u00a0 My eyes immediately trained on one menu item heretofore never experienced, something called Chicken Sengalese<\/strong><\/em> (Red Bird Farms’ free-range chicken breast, saut\u00e9ed in a light cream sauce of curry, fresh apples, shallots and apple brandy). \u00a0Noting my brawny frame, Kara probably thought I’d be ordering one of the restaurant’s massive meaty dishes. \u00a0She seemed surprised I’d be asking about a chicken dish. \u00a0She then described it as one of the restaurant’s best dishes, especially if you love curry. \u00a0Does a coyote love roadrunner meat?<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chicken Sengalese was absolutely magnificent, maybe the single best dish I’ve had in 2023 and one of the best curry dishes I’ve had anywhere. \u00a0We may have to move to Ketchum to enjoy it more often. \u00a0This is a three or four times a week dish I wouldn’t tire of. \u00a0 Chicken, my least favorite poultry, is elevated to gloriously gilded bird of paradise, a voluptuous (yes, voluptuous) breast covered in almost enough curry to appease this curry crazy curmudgeon. \u00a0Hints of apple brandy and waifishly thin apple slices provide a tangy counterbalance to the rich, sweet curry. \u00a0Accompaniment for this paragon of poultry pulchritude included a loaded Idaho baked potato. \u00a0As Madelyn Kahn told Sheriff Bart when asked if it’s true that Idaho potatoes are fabulous, it’s twoo, it’s twoo<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0Also fabulous were the vegetable of the day: the freshest, crispest, most verdant snap peas we’ve had in maybe forever.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Filet Mignon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While most meat dishes that aren’t smothered in curry don’t do much for me, my Chicago born-and-bred bride probably loves a good steak more than she does her adoring husband. \u00a0The Sawtooth Club is reputed to serve the best steak in Sun Valley. \u00a0The filet mignon<\/strong><\/em> (specially-aged, northwest grown, grass-fed beef, hand-cut at 8 ounces, flame-broiled, finished with a rich red wine demi-glace) lives up to that designation. \u00a0It is as tender as a sigh. \u00a0Not only is filet mignon the most tender and unctuous cut of beef courtesy of its rich marbling of fat, it’s a steak that almost excites me. \u00a0Yeah, take away my man card. \u00a0It’s more important to me that my Kim likes steak. \u00a0She loves this one.<\/span><\/p>\n

During our June, 2023 vacation we traveled some 2,500 miles over two weeks. Our sojourn covered parts of four states (Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado) where we dined on some exceptional food. \u00a0The one dish that surprised and delighted me most (along with the Royal Poppy Seed Chocolate Ganache Cake at Alyonka<\/strong><\/a>) was the aforementioned Chicken Sengalese. \u00a0Like the Sawtooth Club, it’s a must when you visit Ketchum.<\/span><\/p>\n
