Chef Tim Libassi at The Blue Lion Restaurant in Jackson Hole, Wyoming has built a well-earned reputation for his unforgettable Rack of Lamb—the restaurant’s top-selling dish. After trying many different suppliers through the years, Pilot Brands has become his consistent choice for superior quality, tenderness, sizing and trim. “Pilot racks account for nearly 30% of our dinners at this point. Many of our patrons don’t even give the menu a glance anymore—they know exactly what they’re coming in for.” Chef Tim prepares Pilot Brands lamb racks simply, coating them with Dijon, then in herbed breadcrumbs before roasting. His signature peppercorn rosemary cream sauce and jalapeno mint sauce make this dish a standing favorite. www.bluelionrestaurant.com
