When you mention Sundance, who doesn’t think of movies? But a shining costar is the abundance of decadent food choices available here in Park City, Utah. Here are a couple of our teams’ favorites.

A delightful four-course meal was prepared especially for our team by Chef Jean Louis Montecot at the Jean Louis Restaurant and Bar. The pleasure began with butternut squash soup which was to die for; a special treat that many raved about the next day. The soup was followed by jumbo lump Crab Cakes served on a bed of warm spinach salad with lobster vinaigrette. (Crab cakes are a favorite in our group, and we ate every morsel.) We had our choice of Wild Salmon or Entrecote de Bœuf for our main course. The Wild Salmon was served in a shallow bowl with a wonderful blend of vegetables to enhance the flavor. We didn’t see anyone actually finish the “melt in your mouth” 24-oz. rib eye steak, but it was enjoyed just the same. No meal is complete without dessert and we weren’t disappointed by the beautiful chocolate cake with raspberry finale.

Our second night’s dinner was an equal treat. Butcher’s Chop House, with Chef Greg Grass, offered a diverse menu with a little something for everyone. Some chose salad and pizza while others indulged in Wild Alaskan King Crab legs. Rave reviews were posted for the crab legs with a “thumbs up” and “It’s the bomb baby!” An extensive wine selection was also enjoyed. Extra spoons were required for Chocolate Bread Pudding and Marionberry Crisp among many other desserts. How often have you been offered “chocolate” bread pudding? It was both different and delicious. The oatmeal crunch on the Marionberry crisp sweetened the berries to a tee.

Fabulous food, to be sure. But after a few days of eating so well, our jealous colleagues back at the office suggested that we use HP’s newest camera feature: The Slimming feature. Check it out: You can look 10 pounds lighter with just a click of a button! Hmm … Wonder if there is a multiplier option for that slimming feature?

We wish to thank all of the wonderful restaurants and the people of Park City, Utah for the perfect costar for the Sundance Film Festival. Bon Appétit!
