Dishes not to miss: Chicken Momos, Garlic Naan

 

The Everest Momo Shack was the most unexpected find for me in Jackson Hole, WY. After a week of trekking through Yellowstone and eating food with no spices whatsoever, I was near desperate when I chanced upon this cute little colorful restaurant, which smelled of curry!

Here’s where I met the lovely Sange and Rita Sherpa, a couple who immigrated from Khumjung, which is in the Everest region of Nepal. This industrious pair decided to open this tiny eatery, which offers a limited menu of Indian and Nepali dishes. The menu includes momos, samosa, naan; lamb, chicken, or vegetable curries, chow mein and saag paneer. If you like spice then ask for their special hot sauce – it is really good.

 

 

The Everest Momo Shack is only open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays evenings from May to September. The Sherpas have worked out a mutually beneficial, symbiotic relationship with D.O.G (a burrito place), which occupies the same space during the daytime. It’s a wonderful idea to share a space that supports two small businesses.

The food is not outstanding but it sure does hit the spot for anyone craving some ethnic South Asian eats which is impossible to find in this area. Sange Sherpa, the owner was an absolute delight to sit and chat with whilst munching on hot momos and gently spiced chicken tikka masala.

The Everest Momo Shack is BYOB and has outdoor seating only. It is a great little spot to spend a heart-warming evening at.

 

Here is some of what we ate:

 

CHICKEN MOMOS

 

CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

 

CHICKEN CURRY

 

GARLIC NAAN


CHICKEN CHOWMEIN NOODLES

Dishes not to miss: Huckleberry Scones

 

Woodside Bakery is a great little find in West Yellowstone, MT,  which is a town that’s does not have much going on for die-hard foodies. This is a great little bakery just a couple of blocks outside Yellowstone’s west entrance.

Woodside Bakery offers a great range of breakfast sandwiches, baked goods and made to order sandwiches. Everything here is made fresh, including the bread they use for their sandwiches. They have a great selection of baked treats. Their huckleberry scone was really delicious.

At the Woodside Bakery, there is a little eat-in section where you can enjoy a cup of coffee with your meal. You can also opt to get your order packed to go, which is always a great idea when one is out and about touring the beautiful landscapes of Yellowstone.

 

Here is some of what we ate:

 

HUCKLEBERRY SCONES

 

DELI SANDWICHES

 

 

BROWNIE

 

 

CINNAMON ROLL

Dishes not to miss: Grizzly Bear Salad


West Yellowstone is a tiny town right by the West entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Good food is really hard to find around here especially at dinnertime. Luckily, our hotel had a pretty good restaurant called The Branch where we could find some decent dishes.

 

 

One of my favorite dishes was their Grizzly Bear Salad with Cha-Cha Chicken, which is served with a huckleberry dressing. It was a really nice tangy, crisp salad. Their sandwiches and desserts were rather standard. However do NOT have the breakfast here – it was truly terrible. I don’t know how anyone can mess up breakfast so badly but you are much better of trying The Running Bear Pancake House or The Woodside Bakery.

The servers at the Branch are really friendly. Many of them are visiting students from countries all over the world, who are a part of an exchange program. Chatting with them and sharing experiences was really cool.

 

Here is some of what we ate:

 

POTATO CHIPS

 

BREAD SKILLET

 

CAST IRON HOT SPINACH DIP

 

GRIZZLY BEAR SALAD

 

BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

 

HAMBURGER

 

GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH

BISON POT ROAST

 

MASHED POTAOES AND GREEN BEANS

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, is a geological wonder that was created by a volcanic explosion some 640,00 years ago. What resulted from that event is a glorious landscape that includes gushing geysers, multicolored hot springs, canyons, waterfalls, fumaroles, mudspots and wildlife that is beyond compare. Yellowstone National Park is historic as it was the world’s first national park in 1872.
