Whitefish, a boomtown in northwest Montana, has become a magnet for one-percenters and celebrities looking to escape the show-and-tell vibe of glam ski areas like Aspen.

An under-the-radar Rocky Mountains resort town – with a name traditionally associated with a New York deli staple – is poised to land on the culinary map, at least that’s the hope of famed chef Todd English .

Boulud and Ripert are also slated to visit Whitefish in November to helm separate events that are part of the “Modernist Dinner Series” — held by the Culinary Institute of Montana based at Flathead Valley Community College.Whitefish, an under-the-radar Rocky Mountains resort town, is poised to land on the culinary map. “There’s a real food culture here,” English, a four-time James Beard award winner, told Side Dish.

English – the restaurateur behind the Olives brand who participated in the formative days of food festivals in Aspen, South Beach and Nantucket – partnered with Axcess Entertainment’s Ryan Heil and Whitefish-based entrepreneur Joe Hess for the new event.“I had been going to the Aspen Food and Wine Festival for years and thought, we need something like that here,” Hess said.

Next year’s festival planning is already in the works, English said, adding that a growing budget means more top chefs will be participating.
