Six Peaks Grille at Resort at Squaw Creek Debuts New Summer Menu

Chef Makes Twist on 'The Butcher's Block'

Olympic Valley, Calif. - Head Chef Chad Shrewsbury, along with Jacques Cornelis, executive chef at Resort at Squaw Creek, have prepared an all-new dinner menu for the resort's signature restaurant, Six Peaks Grille. In addition to an array of inventive cuisine, from appetizers to desserts, guests will have a couple innovative entrée options to select from "The Butcher's Block."

Appetizers include offerings such as: Cotuit diver scallops, pan-seared with fava bean puree in a carrot-ginger broth; foie gras, with savory corn muffin, caramelized black plums, apple gastric and corn emulsion; or an heirloom tomato plate, with goat cheese, purple basil and Banyuls vinaigrette dusted with Guérand grey sea salt. The tomatoes, like many of the menu items, are fresh from California's Central Valley.

"The Butcher's Block" items come either steakhouse style, which means grilled with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal accompaniments, or "The Chef's Way," with a variety of gourmet side dishes. "Chef's Way" selections from "The Butcher's Block" include:

Other entrée items featured include Portabella Mushroom Napoleon with slow roasted layers of Peruvian potatoes, red bell peppers, portabella mushroom and parmesan, served with a tender green salad and rosemary vinaigrette, or Rocky Jr. Chicken Breast stuffed with Humboldt Fog goat cheese and garlic, truffle whipped potatoes, sweet pea tendrils and béarnaise. Numerous other gourmet dishes are crafted by the chef, too.
