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!

We were so honored to host the recent Smart Meeting Event at Stein Eriksen Lodge this week. Approximately seventy-six meeting planners and hoteliers gathered for the two and a half day event. The program included several great speakers, one-on-one appointments, great networking meal functions and an afternoon at the Utah Olympic Park complete with the Flying Ace Aerial Show. Participants also had the opportunity to try bobsledding, the world’s steepest zip line and the alpine coaster.
Most of the meeting planers and hoteliers had never been to Park City and were pleasantly surprised by our accessibility, beautiful scenery, weather, recreational options and meeting facilities.
We thank all the participants and Smart Meetings staff for a wonderful event and we hope to see them return to the lodge in the future.

The 2010 Sundance Film Festivalis three short days away. The next ten days are prime for people watching here at the Lodge as well as in Park City. It is not uncommon to see celebrities walking through the Main Lodge on their way to Skiers’ Buffet or to the Troll Hallen Lounge for Apres Ski.
This year there are over 200 dramatic, documentary, and short films presented at the festival. Tickets are now available online. In addition to films there is the music cafe which features various artists over eight days of the festival including one of my all-time favorites Grace Potter & The Nocturnals.

I took the time today to walk around the property to enjoy the sunshine. This has to be one of my favorite times of year at the Lodge. The tulips are in full bloom, the mountains are lush and green, temperatures hover in the 70’s and everyone is busy making final preparations for the summer season.
