Fernie’s Island Lake Lodge is again hosting Untamed Kootenays, an annual culinary event featuring uniquely Kootenay cuisine, for its third consecutive year on June 8.

Once again, the Lodge is inviting new and returning guests to indulge in a true forest-to-table experience like none other.

On Saturday evening, the Tamarack Dining Room will welcome food lovers to dine on Lodge-made fare for a chef showcase led by Island Lake’s Chef Keith Farkas, created with an abundance of ingredients sourced and foraged from the surrounding Elk Valley.

Joining Chef Farkas at this year’s chef showcase is Calgary-based, award-winning-chef Roy Oh of Anju. Chef Roy Oh is known for his modern take on Korean cuisine and Anju was recently named one of the best restaurants in Calgary by both Where and Avenue magazines. Together, Chef Farkas and Chef Roy will create an inspiring and unforgettable dining experience that highlights the local flavours found within the region.

Attendees will have the chance to immerse themselves in mountain culture and have an opportunity to forage with chefs on a guided hike to find ingredients like fiddleheads and stinging nettles.

Anyone wishing to reserve their spot is encouraged to contact Island Lake Lodge at their earliest convenience.
