The Bar Chicken at Calico is my favorite dish in town, and I always crave it after a day out in the mountains. Only being able to get it at the bar also makes it a little bit of a local novelty. The lemony sauce, blue cheese dressing and grilled finish on the chicken is unbeatable. It’s the perfect dish to share with friends after a day of adventuring. Pair it with a Calico spicy marg, and you can’t go wrong.—Stephanie Petter, Jackson
