Food & dining rising from the ashes after a devastating fire, the havig family re-opened the crossing bar & grill at Fetty’s Dennis and Diane Havig moved from Livingston to Wisdom, Montana in 1988, when Dennis transferred to the Big Hole Valley with the Forest Service as a District Ranger. In 1994, Diane bought a struggling restaurant in Wisdom. “It was her first venture into the food industry, but she had eaten out quite a bit, knew what she liked, and was ready to go with her instinact and some great recipes passed down to her,” says Diane’s daughter, Ali. With delicious, made-from scratch fare and Diane’s outgoing personality, The Big Hole Crossing grew a loyal clientele. Customers came from Salmon, Butte, Dillon and the Bitterroot every week. On May 31, 2010, a fire destroyed the restaurant and a neighboring art gallery. That summer the Havigs and their two daughters cleaned their burned equipment and considered their options. That December, they bought out their competition, Fetty’s Bar and Café, and spent the New Year renovating the building. The new restaurant opened January 14, 2011, and now seats 100, between the dining room and the bar. Ali describes their food as “simple, delicious homemade American food,” and says they make their own Archived newspaper covering a 1925 fire in Wisdom The original Fetty’s bread, bagels, biscuits, pies, cookies, desserts, soups, and “anything and everything we can from scratch.” Prices range from $3.50-$25, and the meals make your mouth water: biscuits and gravy, steak and eggs, double bacon blue cheese burger, liver and onions, hot veggie dinner, or prime rib. “My mom’s philosophy is to do simple food with the best ingredients and to make things as healthy as possible. We use non trans-fat cooking oils and shy away from processed ingredients or pre-made foods.” The Crossing’s fire put them in good company: Dennis estimates 60 percent of Wisdom, Montana’s buildings have burned over the years. He says old houses with dry walls and roofs, wood stoves and bad wiring typically have problems with fires. Some of the businesses that have burned include the town’s gas station and car dealership, the bar, and numerous houses. The Havigs are glad to be up and running in their new location. “It’s awesome to be finally open,” says Ali. “Everyone seems so excited.” e.s. thecrossingbarandgrill.com heading over for a ski weekend at lost trail and a soak at Jackson hot Springs? be sure to stop in at the crossing bar & grill at Fetty’s in Wisdom. in the Big hole during the week?
