A TRULY MEMORABLE DINING EXPERIENCE
This past month, I had one of those magical dining experiences that you never forget. At Lone Mountain Ranch in Montana, (after a quick stop at a gift shop where I bought the best ranch-style jacket) a horse-drawn sleigh carried us through the snow to a lantern-lit log cabin, with burning candlesticks, long wooden tables, storytelling, and so much laughter. Dinner was loud and communal and unfussy: platters of prime rib, this incredible turkey pot pie, soup, bread, and wine passed hand to hand. The whole room was anchored by a century-old railroad stove that I was obsessed with and spent an hour discussing with the chef. Cozy, rustic, and deeply transportive in the way the best gatherings always are.
