Looking for a nice place to enjoy a wonderful meal? Restaurant critic Merrill Shindler offers another recommendation.
makes you wonder why you’d ever want to live anywhere else? Saddle Peak Lodge is a restaurant with a history. It dates back at least a century – a brochure available at the entrance titled “History,” suggests no one is really sure – as a destination for gold miners, a campsite, a general store, a roadhouse, a movie set, a weekend retreat and, since 1985, in its current incarnation as an upscale dining destination.
But first, let us deal with the skillet hoecake. The popular story behind the name comes from the contention that field hands would cook cornmeal over an open fire, using their hoes as skillets. Which is sweet – and possibly apocryphal. For there’s also evidence that “hoe” was simply a colloquialism for a skillet. Whatever.
The flat-iron steak certainly pays homage to the savory joys of lunch. But even more so, there’s the rosemary roast leg of lamb sandwich with sweet potato fries – a delicious reminder that the kitchen at Saddle Peak is a bastion of fine meat cooking.
