What's That?
Valentine's Weekend in Dorrington
Feb. 18, 2010

The Dorrington Hotel Valentine's Day Entree

I had a fabulous time in Dorrington this past weekend!

Dorrington is a small village in the Sierra mountains on Hiway 4 on the way to Bear Valley Ski Resort. The hotel used to be a rest stop for the stage that would take passengers over Ebbets pass to the eastern Sierra. Now it is run by Marc Lanthier and a small dedicated staff, offering rooms in the hotel, a fine dining restaurant -- Restaraunt 1852, and a rustic lounge called "The Lube Room".

The weekend culminated in a Five-Course Valentine's Day Dinner. Here's what I served:

  • Seared scallops in a light red pepper coulis
  • Crepes filled with a mushroom leek duxelles, topped with a beet and cream sauce
  • Organic rabbit greens, cucumber, tomatoes, onions tossed with a red wine vinaigrette
  • House Favorite: "Big-Ass" shrimp and a 6oz filet mignon with bearnaise, organic snap peas and carrots and potato dauphinoise
  • Warmed chocolate bread pudding with a Port sabayon

    Thanks to Marc, Amy, Miley, Rob, Rosalee, Bells, Tina, and anyone I'm forgetting for welcoming me and helping make it a wonderful weekend!

    Now… What am I gonna cook up this weekend? Hmmmm.
