Antelope sausage?

Yep, that's right. Antelope!

We had one of our last dinners at Old Faithful's Snow Lodge - right next door to the Old Faithful Inn. The Snow Lodge being the all-season lodging at that end of the park. The Obsidian Dining Room offers a bit more complex offerings than, say, the original Dining Room at the Inn. Nothing crazy, but enough unique entrees to keep the mouth-breathers away.

We started with antelope sausage doused with caramelized onions and tiny bits of smoked bacon.

I ordered the Alaskan salmon, with a white wine dill butter compound. I tasted more butter than dill, and I'm not complaining. The potato, again, made its entrance. And it was superb. I love those fat pieces of salt barely hanging onto the crispy skin.

Eric ordered the bison short ribs, braised in Moose Drool Ale (by Big Sky Brewery), and served with mashed potatoes. He was in heaven with this dish.
