High West Distillery will showcase its culinary classics paired with their spirits for an exclusive dinner. Led by Executive Chef Michael J. Showers, the evening will take place at New York’s James Beard House on November 8 at 7pm.
After collaborating with five other Park City chefs to prepare a meal at the Beard House last fall as part of an effort by the Park City Area Restaurant Association, High West Distillery was hand-picked to return this year to create a purely High West dining experience for James Beard guests.
“It is an absolute honor to prepare a meal at the renowned James Beard House,” Showers said. “We are thrilled to bring High West’s unique alpine cuisine and a selection of our finest spirits for guests to imbibe, savor and enjoy.”
The dinner will feature 5 courses of original High West culinary creations crafted to complement its whiskey collection. The dinner menu was created by Chef Showers, whose culinary influences stem from the Pacific Northwest, San Sebastian, Spain, and Montana. His emphasis on local, seasonal and farm-to-table cooking is evident in the event’s dinner & pairings.
Steve Walton, High West Beverage Director, and Arianne King, Whiskey Ambassador, have chosen a mixture of cocktails and spirits that pair perfectly with Chef Shower’s creations to provide guests with a truly unique tasting experience.
