Pure Americana, in the taste and the portion sizes.
To be fair to the title, I went to the original Jackson Hole for dinner with a bunch of people whose goal was to eat like 300 lb truckers. Thus, our massive caloric intake was as much intended as readily available.
When we arrived to this old-school, hole-in-the-wall, low-ceilings eatery they had already fully decorated for Halloween. If you've ever been to Jackson Hole before, you already know memorabilia bedecks the walls, so the chintz factor was squared with all the fake cobwebs, bat, and ghouls.
The menu that evening consisted of a burger each (cheeseburger, Wyoming, and a bacon mushroom), a green salad, a side of chili fries, a side of onion rings, and a milk shake each. Our goal was simple, finish ALL THE FOOD. While each dish was basically a meal in itself (especially the chili fries covered in orange processed cheese), everyone pulled their weight but me, having only eaten 75% of my burger by the end of the night. I've never found Jackson Hole burgers particularly easy to eat. They use the tried and true method of gigantic beef balls grilled on one side, flipped and smushed, then steam cooked under a bowl. The result is a beef patty that can't fit in your mouth and is just too beefy. I tried best as I could, but just was not able to finish it.
All the food was good, comforting, and in gigantic proportions, so one should always go to Jackson Hole with at least 3 other people who don't mind ingesting fried and fatty foods. But, it never fails to be good times :)
