Wednesday I flew to Denver to photograph a small wedding Thursday in Beaver Creek. Beaver Creek is a resort town just past Vail about two hours west of Denver it’s absolutely beautiful! Although ski season is over the altitude is so high there are still snow caped mountains in the distance. On the way from the airport I stopped just north of downtown Denver to have lunch at Buckhorn Exchange. It’s Denver’s oldest steakhouse established by early settlers in 1893. They specialize in serving wild game and original recipe ‘trail beans’. I had the ‘Dutch Lunch’. The restaurant found in an old menu that the Buckhorn served Dutch Lunch. Many times this included headcheese and scrapple derived from Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. They currently offer the authentic Dutch Lunch, served by the Buckhorn to cattlemen, railroaders, rogues and tycoons in the early days.
