I have not tried Yak.
Yet.
I have, yaks are tasty! Fairly lean and mild, as the article says.
Pretty funny headline…
A PNW tale.

This is great news, as this is another outpost for this family.
I have not been yet.
Just took a fun jaunt around the Rogue Creamery website:

Now I’m craving!
They make cheddars and curds but those don’t make it very far afield. Butter too.
It’s really good stuff. But I’m not sure any one cheese is best in the world, too many varieties to just pick one.

Here you go, Jimmy.
A local write up.
You’ve posted other stories from the Mail Tribune, bbqboy. I’m impressed by the articles I’ve read by them.

Gorgeous foods and plateing.
The food sure looks pretty. At $130 per person not including wine or the mandatory 20%tip*, I am surprised they are able to make it through the winter months when the festival is not going on. The times I have been there in the off season the town is pretty dead. I can’t imagine many SOU students being able to afford that. I guess Ashland has changed more than I think it has. Sounds like it already is the new Napa (see post Aug18). The last time I was there during the busier season there was more of a artsy/hippy/street kid vibe going on. Must have been wealthy hippies. You are with-in a days drive from SFO so maybe. Tech bros in disguise?
*A mandatory 20% tip for tables of two seems unusual. I think many people generally tip that much or more anyway but making it mandatory irks me. I got that from a yelp review so it might not be accurate.
