Creekside Market

I came to Creekside Market in Jackson, WY for a quick lunch and left with what can only be described as a spiritual awakening.

The sandwiches here are incredible. Fresh, hearty, and made with the kind of care usually reserved for national treasures or bald eagles. But nothing—nothing—could have prepared me for what happened next.

I was standing in line, minding my own business, when I looked up and saw him. Or at least a man who could’ve been his long-lost twin: mustache perfection, twinkle in the eye, swagger that said “I’ve outrun at least one sheriff on a dirt road.” I was behind a full-on Burt Reynolds doppelgänger… ordering a chicken salad sandwich.

I nearly passed out.

The combination of that sandwich and the electric presence of Faux-Burt made this the most thrilling lunch of my life. I took my meal across the street to the picnic pavilion, where I sat in awe, unwrapping my sandwich like it was a sacred scroll.

If you like amazing food, gorgeous views, and once-in-a-lifetime moments that make you question time and space, Creekside Market is a must. And if you see Burt…tell him I said thank you.
