The joy of breakfast at the Silver Fork Lodge in Big Cottonwood Canyon begins when you hit the road at the mouth of the canyon. On the way up to Solitude or Brighton for skiing, boarding, hiking or biking, there are few places to fuel up beforehand nicer than Silver Fork Lodge. Grab a table in the rustic dining room next to the fireplace during winter or dine al fresco on the patio in warm weather. Whenever you visit, dig into the wonderful homemade waffles or flapjacks, sausage and eggs made with Snider Brothers’ scrumptious mild Italian sausage, the sensational seared Utah trout and eggs, or maybe just a freshly baked cinnamon roll. The Lodge has been around for quite some time, and the sourdough starter is well over 50 years old! So be sure to try Silver Fork’s sourdough cakes with apple compote. Eggs Benedict Florentine arrive topped with perfectly runny poached eggs under a light hollandaise and atop fresh sautéed spinach, with a tomato slice. When the sun goes down, give “Elmo’s” meatloaf a try or get all Frenchy with Chateaubriand for two.
