My Notes:

Served at Timberline Lodge, Mount Hood, Portland, Oregon Published in
Timberline Lodge Cookbook (1987) by Leif Eric Benson (Certified Executive
Chef of Timberline Lodge since 1979.)

If you see the movie "The Shining" you will see the lodge. It was used for
all the exterior shots. Scary place. Our Timberline is NOT scary. It is ski
resort on top of Mount Hood, within minutes from downtown Portland. The
lodge has rooms, a gourmet restaurant, pool. Built during Depression by WPA
from timber in the area. The cookbook has gorgeous photos.
