Meat Your Butcher Our area’s artisan butchers are a cut above the rest. BY SUE MUNCASTER In December 2009 Epicurious.com, the authoritative and award-winning digital voice of the food world, boldly predicted 2010 would be “The Year of the Butcher.” Earlier that same year, Kim Severson wrote the article “Young Idols with Cleavers Rule the Stage” in The New York Times. Severson, who has won four James Beard awards for her reporting, revealed how a new meat consciousness has led to the rise of the “rock-star butcher.” The rise (or revival) of artisan butchery here in the Tetons has certainly followed…

Mountain Modern An increasingly prominent architectural style takes its cues from local history and our landscape.

Lawton likes this small-town vibe, and it’s a major reason the forty-eight-year-old moved from Jackson Market President for Wells Fargo to CEO of Bank of Jackson Hole one year ago. “I like the small community model,” he says.
