The Pique News Magazine: The Twelve Appetizers of Christmas. Re-Posted by Myson Effa: Manger: Pemberton Gateway Village Suites Hotel


The holiday culinary adventure this week starts with Randy Jones of Mile One Eating House in Pemberton. He likes to use left-over turkey in poutine. His dish, he says, works well on Boxing Day for lunch or as an afternoon snack…….
The Globe and Mail: Special Holiday Travel Report
Where to eat: In Pemberton, stop at Mile One Eating House for gourmet burgers at near fast food prices, a fantastic selection of local beers, and six B.C. wines on FreshTAP.
Best Burgers: 604 Pulse
This gem of a restaurant features mouth-watering local ingredients. I’m partial to the Mile One Burger which includes Blue Buck beer braised onions, Pemberton Meadows natural beef and a bun from the Blackbird Bakery just down the street. Consider trying the Stump Grinder (a BC mushroom burger) and the Hillbilly Deluxe (an elk chorizo burger) as well!
BEST of Pemberton 2013: Pique Newsmagazine
BEST Burger; BEST Takeout; BEST Service & BEST Chef! There are seven burgers to choose from at Mile One. The ingredient list of extras includes Happy Days Okanagan Goat Cheese, fire roasted red bell peppers and B.C. mushrooms…….
Mile One Eating House awarded prestigious TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence

Marathon Mouth: My Best Road Trip Meals of 2012
Best Comfort Food: Mile One Eating House (Pemberton, British Columbia). Mile One has killer burgers, but I quickly switch gears when I see the menu features an astonishing six choices of macaroni and cheese…
Real Baking with Rose Levy Beranbaum – A Day in British Columbia with Nathan Fong.
Five minutes drive from the farm, Nathan pulled up to the: Mile One Eating House in the town of Pemberton saying: “here’s where we’ll eat lunch.” “I thought we already ate lunch.” I protested in a near whisper, but when he told us about the macaroni studded with 3 varieties of mushrooms, chorizo, cheddar and another regional cheese I succumbed immediately (it was irresistibly luscious).

“We stayed at the Pemberton Valley Lodge, a resort hotel with an outdoor lap pool in a very majestic setting, and dined at the Mile One Eating House where we had our first introduction to the Pemberton Potato, the main ingredient in locally made Schramm Vodka from the Pemberton Distillery.”
Pique Newsmagazine – Best of Pemberton 2012
“Best Restaurant — Mile One Eating House. There’s a new number one in Pemberton this year. In its second year of operation, the Mile One has thrown it down and the people of Pemberton have indicated their new favourite eatery is at the corner of Highway 99 and Portage Road…”

Toronto Sun – Summer in Whistler: From Cuisine to Cycling
“Say you’re going to Whistler in the summer or fall and people question what you’ll do there. If you’re not skiing, they wonder, what is there to do in the British Columbia mountain village?
For an adventurous traveller who appreciates the charm and sophistication of gourmet restaurants and quirky shops…”
Chatelaine.com – 10 Best Places to Eat, Drink and Experience Whistler
“Still basking in the glow of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, this easygoing West Coast village has always been a haven for thrill seekers with a taste for the good life. Whether it’s a five-star feast with a bottle of sabred champagne or a local burger and brew, you’re as likely to have a great adventure in one of Whistler’s restaurants and bars as you are on its mountaintops…”

Canoe.ca – On the Food Trail from Whistler to Pemberton
“In British Columbia, the local, organic food movement is hugely popular.
With its abundance of seafood, temperate climate for fruits in the Okanagan Valley and gourmet restaurants and food trucks, it’s no wonder culinary tourism is a big draw in the province, especially so, as I discovered today, in Pemberton…”
Vancouver Magazine – June 1, 2012
“Highway 99′s Sweetest Spots”
“If you’ve not driven up the Sea-to-Sky lately, you’ll find that much has changed. We asked five insiders to tell us about their favourite spots…”
Mountain Life Magazine – Gear We Like: The Mile One Burger
Yes, we do consider this burger as ‘gear’. Why you ask? Well, like any good piece of gear, you can rely on this burger to get the job done. After a day of earning your turns up on the Duffey, there is no better way to quell your hunger pangs than this.
UrbanSpoon.com
“Cheesesteak in Pembie? Oh yes! Mile One makes a mouth-watering one piled high…. Made us feel right at home! Pemberton hits the mark once again…”
“best burger EVER!”……“best veggie burger I’ve ever had”
“OMG I just had the Crispy North Cove Oyster burger and it is to “live for”! I have never had a fried oyster this good in Louisiana, Seattle, Cortez Island…”
TripAdvisor.com

“My wife’s salad was very good (the best she’s had in the two weeks we’ve been traveling and eating out daily), and I loved my mac&cheese with two bratwursts. The food was largely sourced locally (the chef knew where each meat had come from – I wonder if he had been able to name the animals…) and tasted real.”
“….we eat there every time we go to Pemberton. Sometimes twice! ”
“Sitting here at the moment staring out the window towards the mountains across the road. Just had the BLT burger with homemade wedges, I would say the best meal I have eaten in Canada in the 3 months I have been here so far.”
Twitter @LifeDelish
I’m in love with your menu! Seared west coast albacore tuna burger = YUM!
Pique Newsmagazine – Best of Pemberton 2011
Best New Business -Have you ever eaten a hot dog made of real beef? How about one made of beef raised just down the road? All this and more is available at the Mile One Eating House, located at the recently opened Pemberton Gateway Village Suites Hotel, the one with the clocktower as you arrive into town. The Mile One Eating House is already a huge hit, serving up dishes such as gourmet burgers made with Pemberton Natural Beef, designer mac-n-cheese and a Philly cheesesteak. Other mentions here included Western Promises Food and the Blackbird Bakery, which won the Best New Restaurant category last year.
Best New Restaurant - We love the oxymoronic motto of this new and excellent Pemberton café. Billing its grub as “accelerated slow food,” Mile One got many-a-mention through our other categories as well. Besides the obvious – they serve gourmet burgers and hotdogs made with Pemberton Natural Beef, designer mac n’ cheese for grown-ups as well as kids, poutine, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, beer, and wine – owners Randy Jones and Cindy Yu abide by the following honest, cross-your-heart-and-spit rules of the table: We take comfort food seriously; We believe the food you eat ought to be as genuine as the people you share your table with; Our menu respects the ingredients, the producers and the land that make it up; A hard-earned hunger deserves good, clean food; Made with care; Dished straight-up, every time.

Their other motto is Get Well Fed. Who’s going to scoff at that?
Best Burger – Like the steak category, Best Burger is one that comes with its fair share of complicated judging criteria. Tender but not too pink; soft but not too sloppy; meaty, but with a perfect balance of condiments and garnish. Then there’s the bun – overlooked by some but hardly an insignificant piece of the puzzle. To master all these complicated elements is an accomplishment many a backyard grill amateur spends a lifetime perfecting. If you don’t want to wait that long, head over to Mile One and get yourself a goodie with all the fixins.’
Choose Pemberton Q&A
Chef Randy Jones and his wife Cindy Yu opened Mile One Eating House in Pemberton, they hit the refresh button on a host of diner classics, bringing their fine dining foodie ways “down home” to suit Pemberton to a tee. So, what does happen when fine dining comes down to earth? You get a gourmet mac’n’cheese selection that makes established culinary columnists swoon, steak and beer dinner specials for $15, and the all-natural Pemberton Meadows Natural Beef Burger Collection and house “This is a Potato” Yukon Gold Potato Wedges.
BC Living
After our trail ride we headed back to town for lunch and made our way to Mile One Eating House. I hadn’t realized that Pemberton was such a hot spot for locavores, and Mile One’s owner, Randy Jones, is one of them. Jones is passionate about responsibly-sourced, local ingredients – like the west coast tuna for my sandwich, the venison for my husband’s mac and cheese, and the Pemberton Meadows Natural Beef in all of the delicious burgers. Mile One also has a retail area with local products like birch syrup, birch BBQ sauce, and local salt from the Vancouver Island Salt Co..

We sat out on the huge patio to eat our lunch. I had the scrumptious Seared Rare West Coast Albacore Tuna sandwich, $12, which comes on a bun from local Blackbird Bakery with purple cabbage slaw and wasabi mayo, plus the Roasted Yukon Gold Potato Wedges, $2.50. My husband had the decadent and hearty Wild and Tame mac and cheese, $13, with mushrooms, venison sausage, vine ripened tomato and grilled asparagus.

On your way in or out, don’t miss the giant map of the Pemberton area at the front of the restaurant. Jones says that customers sometimes pop in just to take a look at the map and he’s always happy to talk about his favourite spots in the area (he gave us some great ideas for our next camping and hiking trips). Just like chef Walt, Jones takes a lot of pride in his community and is a great advocate for eating well and enjoying the great outdoors.

Tourism Pemberton – TourismPembertonBC.com
“Mile One Eating House opened its doors in March 2011 and quickly became an instant hit with residents of Pemberton and visitors. They serve up the best burgers in Pemberton which are made using local Pemberton Meadows Natural Beef. Make sure you try the Hillbilly Deluxe burger complete with cheese curds, blue buck braised onions and venison chorizo!”
