Des Jardines Reveals Tahoe Details

At the Aspen Food & Wine Classic this weekend, Traci Des Jardines shared details on her planned expansion to Lake Tahoe. According to Eater, “it’s going to be called Manzanita, and if all goes to plan, it’s going to be the first name-chef, destination restaurant in Tahoe.” Opening in the Ritz-Carlton Highlands this winter, the place will seat 94 in the dining room, 71 at the bar, and 100 outdoors when the weather is nice. In the press release, Des Jardinees said of the name, “The Manzanita tree is ubiquitous in California, but it particularly reminds me of the Sierra Nevada of my native state. I was inspired by the symbolism of the Manzanita tree and plan to create a menu that reflects the regions rich offerings.” [Via Eater SF]
