FOREWORD
When Mike Art bought Chico Hot Springs in Montana, in the early 1970s, it was a derelict liability threatening to collapse. Not much was noticeably done to correct that until 1977. Realizing you could not expect to have a successful hotel, from the second story of which you could clearly see the exact geographic middle of nowhere, without a restaurant, he proceeded to build one.
A rustic dining room was constructed to suit the locale, but the menu was anything but rustic. I first set foot in it one evening on the way back from a fishing trip to Yellowstone Park with John Bailey. Fresh oysters? Duck? What the hell was going down here?
It turned out the chef, a seemingly callow youth named Larry Edwards, had been recruited up from Jackson Hole. Frankly, I don’t recall that whole original menu, but baked brie and sole en croute were most assuredly not items one encountered at that time on menus anywhere west of Chicago or east of San Francisco.
A few years later, Edwards moved on, and while Chico was and remains a good place to eat years later, the brilliance he initially brought to the venue went with him. As the eighties became the nineties, many, including myself, literally begged him to open his own restaurant in Livingston, but for reasons known only to him it never happened.
Finally, by 1994, it was clear no one was going to step up to bat, and I began lying awake nights thinking about how I might do it. The only real estate that made sense was the Livingston Bar and Grille, which had been purchased by Mike Art, and over which Edwards presided for a few years. But then it was sold to people who had no business owning a restaurant and under whose tenure it degenerated into a filthy, mouse-infested ptomaine emporium.
Naturally, they put it up for sale, but at a price so absurd no one could buy it, as they would be hopelessly buried in debt from day one. In early 1995, I sat down with my friend and realtor Ernie Meador and tried to figure out the lowest offer the desperate owners would accept. All the serious buyers had come and gone, and no one had looked at it in two years. When we made our offer, they accepted it instantly like a trout inhaling a mayfly.
It took more than a few minutes for me
