St. Teresa of Avila's Basque Festival!

The authentic Basque menu features dishes from fine restaurateurs throughout the community:

Over a mahogany flame, Basque lamb and turkey is expertly prepared by native Nevada cooks, whose understanding of “doing it right” is obvious at first bite. Each year, Mike Lemich and the Ely team make the trek west to prepare the feast. Marinated, stuffed and rubbed, lamb and turkey are passionately prepared days before, and begin slow cooking at 4:00 a.m. the day of the festival. In support, the culinary talent of Charlie Abowd (from the widely renowned, nationally award winning restaurant, Adele’s Restaurant and Lounge in Carson City) oversees the Basque kitchen at Fuji Park.
