The Blacksmith participated in the 2008 Welcome Center Training Conference Dinner at the High Desert Museum on Monday night. 

We served three courses:

• Appetizer: Flat bread with cilantro pesto and coriander cured Oregon Natural beef
• Main: Two year old smoked mac n’ cheese with cider brined pork chop, apple-mustard seed chutney and a cheddar crisp
• Desert: Smores with house made graham cracker crust, chocolate crisps, peanut butter mousse, and toasted blacksmith marshmallows

Thanks to the Oregon Travel Information Council and Bend Visitor & Convention Bureau for putting this great evening together. And thanks to all the other restaurants who participated giving all of the guests a great taste of Bend.
