On July 17, 2010, Chef Zane and 30 of the top chefs from around the country are converging on Ohio to attend the 8th Annual Veggie U Food & Wine Celebration. Why? Because it benefits an organization solely focused on helping kids become healthy adults…Veggie U!
Veggie U, a not-for-profit organization at the Culinary Vegetable Institute, is committed to fostering a synergy between educational, nutritional and agricultural goals to combat the rising epidemic of childhood obesity. Veggie Ujoined forces with tops chefs, such as Holmquist, some of the area’s finest educators, a nutritionist and a local physician to see how the program could impact the childhood obesity challenge.
A group of area Master Teachers spent more than 18 months volunteering their free time to formulate a curriculum teaching an Earth to Table™ concept aimed at fourth graders. A kit complete with seeds, soil, flats, root view boxes, grow lights and a worm farm gives teachers needed materials for this hands-on study. These materials allow the student to see, hear, taste, feel and experience the process of planting, growing and harvesting a crop in their classroom. And the best outcome is the opportunity to eat their results!
It’s through fundraising events like the 8th Annual Food & Wine Celebration, as well as generous private and corporate donations, that Veggie U can continue to promote good eating habits for generations to come.
For over 25 years The Chef’s Garden has been renown for supplying the worlds best Chef’s and restaurants, including Chef Zane and the Glitretind, and now you can bring that reputation and nutrition home to your kitchen!

Park City TV and Salt Lake Magazine teamed up to produce another episode of the Burger Bunch. This time they were in search of the best burger in the Wasatch. They visited the Glitretind Restaurant to enjoy the Stein’s Burger prepared by Chef Zane Holmquist. Watch the video to hear their reviews.
This year our Executive Pastry Chef, Raymond Lammers, was name on of the Top 10 Pastry Chefs in America by Dessert Professional magazine. The chefs were honored in a ceremony at The Institute of Culinary Education in New York.
The dessert Raymond presented was Textures which is featured on the Glitretind restaurant winter menu.
Who said you can’t have dessert first? Not me. I brought guests from out of town to the Lodge for dessert in the Troll Hallen Lounge. It was amazingly difficult to pick just one dish from all the luscious desserts created here at the Lodge, so we ordered three of them to share; crème brûlée, Belgian Chocolate Decadence and Berries & Champagne Sabayon. I was able to snap a quick photo of the crème brûlée before it was devoured.
