If the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, Muhammad will go to the mountain. Oh wait, no, if the mountain won’t come to Joachim, Joachim will go to the mountain.

It seems that Joachim Splichal’s Patina Restaurant Group has no bounds. Splichal has restaurants or kiosks all over New York (including at the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center!); New Jersey; Tanglewood, Mass.; Orlando, Fla.; Los Angeles; Orange County; and Las Vegas. Now Patina Group has its sights set on Mammoth Mountain.

According to a news release, Mammoth Mountain resort and Patina Group have announced a partnership to introduce ‘on-mountain food operations’ and ‘off-the-slopes fine dining establishments.’ ‘On-mountain food operations’? Does that mean snacks at Chair 25?
