A Speck-tacular View



I just returned from a trip to Beaver Creek, Colorado for a final weekend of fall colors and warm weather before winter arrives (which it did on Sunday).

On Saturday afternoon, I had lunch on the patio of the Beaver Creek Chophouse at the base of the ski mountain.

Not only was the view awesome (see above), but the "Chophouse Panini" that I ordered was one of the best variations on a BLT that I've ever had.

The sandwich contains Speck Tirolese (a smoked version of Prosciutto), Buffalo mozzarella, vine-ripened tomatoes, arugula, and pesto aioli, served on grilled, fresh-baked Ciabatta bread.

The Beaver Creek Chophouse is best known for its apres ski. But I highly recommended it for the Chophouse Panini, as well!

  • I definitely have to laugh at this blog, as it is certainly the antithesis of mine :) Anyway, your trip sounds like so much fun (minus the bacon panini, of course), and the picture is lovely. I wish you were going to be in DC for the marathon, but we'll have to catch up soon.

    By the way, they do make veggie bacon...
