Café Kandahar - Whitefish, MT

Nestled amid the peaks of Montana’s mountainous landscape, Cafe Kandahar beckons foodies as well as outdoor enthusiasts to this rugged destination. For this Beard House dinner, chef Andy Blanton will pair his thoughtfully crafted cuisine with exquisite wines from Doubleback, FIGGINS, and Leonetti Cellar, all from Washington’s Walla Walla Valley.
