Feast on the flavors of America's national parks with more than 70
delicious recipes inspired by their iconic lodges, landscapes, and
chefs--including savory dishes, cocktails, and desserts.
Since the world's first-ever national park--Yellowstone--was
established, national parks have fed millions of hungry visitors in
their historic dining rooms and restaurants. From Acadia's famous
puffy popovers to Zion's loaded Navajo tacos, guests have long
enjoyed a range of unique regional cuisines, meals made from foraged
foods, and gourmet menus whipped up by celebrated chefs, even in the
middle of nowhere.
Who can forget that piping-hot platter of Moose Drool-Braised Bison
Short Ribs in Yellowstone, or the massive slab of Mile-High
Blackberry Ice Cream Pie in Shenandoah? Maybe you keep dreaming about
the Huckleberry Margaritas from Grand Teton (and the spectacular
sunset that accompanied them on the deck of Jackson Lake Lodge), or
you still order the same boysenberry pie from Yosemite that you
remember from your childhood. (Pssst... It's still made the same way as
it was more than 60 years ago!)
