For nearly 20 years, the Flying V has been preparing its chunky guacamole tableside. If you adore guac, there’s no greater treat than having it made to your specs by a guacamoliere, the person whose job is dedicated to prepping and preparing those massive, pebbly-skinned avocados and all the fresh accoutrements that range from traditional, like garlic and onion, to seasonal, like pomegranate. Loews Ventana Canyon Executive Chef Ken Harvey says the magic lies in the rustic preparation — forks along with a knife and molcajete are the tools — and that it’s made before your eyes. Chips seem superfluous: You’ll want to just spoon this straight into your mouth.
