Lunch Club: Peaks at Summit Hotel in Big Sky Resort (Bozeman, MT)

"I believe that the great American hamburger is a thing of beauty, its simple charms noble, pristine. The basic recipe--ground beef, salt, and pepper, formed into a patty, grilled or seared on a griddle, then nestled between two halves of a bun, usually but not necessarily accompanied by lettuce, a tomato slice, and some ketchup--is, to my mind, unimprovable by man or God. A good burger can be made more complicated, even more interesting by the addition of other ingredients--like good cheese or bacon.....relish perhaps, but it will never be made better." - Anthony Bourdain, from the chapter entitled 'Meat', in his book Medium Raw.

Peaks at Summit Hotel in Big Sky Resort (Bozeman, MT)

There are many restaurant choices at the Big Sky Resort but we chose one called Peaks, because we liked the way it looked as we walked by. Sometimes, the choice is as simple as that.

I had my burger served bunless because the buns were not egg-free. The beef was a very high-quality Wagyu sourced locally so it actually might have been better that I enjoyed it plain because I really got to taste the pure deliciousness of the meat, rather than all the condiments and bun that normally go with a burger.
