Last Notion III

I made it! Even if I made it on a McDonadles chicken sandwich a couple animal crackers and a Pepsi I still made it. My food on this trip have gone from excellent to terrible. But one dinner meal caught my eye and taste buds the most of all. The name of the restaurant is Jenny Lake Lodge. The name is pretty misleading considering it is nowhere near Jenny Lake and it really isn't a lodge but that is okay. A five course meal awaits me. One starter, a bowl of soup, a salad, one entree and desert. We were greeted by a very tall nice man named Andy. Andy was our waiter, a great waiter at that. Our meal was a fixed price 5 course meal. What the means is that everything on the menu is the exact same price. As I said before the meal is five courses. My first course was a starter, the Duck Confit Croque Monsieur. This little piece of melted cheese and some duck placed on some Italian bread might have been the best starter I have ever placed down my throat. The most amazing French cheese dipped in tomato water makes the perfect beginning for the perfect meal. Next come the soup, a Delicious curry chick pea soup. With the texture and feel of Mexican soup but the amazing taste of authentic Indian curry soup makes is especially thick and harsh. The soup tasted amazing but because of how rich the soup was I was unable to finish the whole thing. Then came the salad, the dressing almost tasted like rasberry sauce mixed with olive oil. With smoked trout one of my favorite fish dishes on top made me think of the coast of Oregon. Then mix between sweet vinaigrette and trout was an amazing combination. Next came the entree. Seared American Kobe Flat Iron steak was my choose. With red potato's on the side covered in salt made my taste buds rocket up in the air. But the true hero in this meal. Sweet wine sauce is easily noticed along with the most perfectly cut of beef I have ever encountered in my life. With just the right amount of crisp and burnt edges makes this Kobe cut amazing to eat. Next comes desert. For me come three soft warm gooey chocolate chip cookies along the side of vanilla bean ice cream. After this meal I could go without food for a month. This last day in Jackson truly has been the best. I am now sitting at my computer along with my brothers at my house. Jackson was nice but nothing beats home.
