New CRC Blog- Dragonfly- Dining on a higher level

By Julie Cader

Julie is Finance & Administration Manager for the California Rice Commission, and a big proponent of trying new recipes- especially if they feature California rice.

Wikipedia describes being an entrepreneur as one who undertakes innovations, finance and business acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods. Studying under Douglas Dale of Wolfdale’s in Tahoe City, Billy McCullough, Chef/Owner of Dragonfly, launched his entrepreneurship dream high in the Sierra over a decade ago. Billy, Zoey and Phebe Bell were on hand at Truckee’s Annual Wine, Walk & Shop event providing wine and food enthusiasts with a sampling of Dragonfly’s delicious fare.

Billy’s creations tend to lean towards a Pan-Asian flair with California’s Nishiki rice used in many of the amazing selections on his ever-changing menu of fresh, seasonal products. Whether it be the Thai Tamarind-Cilantro Fisherman's Stew, the Surrealistic Starkey Inside Out Roll or other delightful entrees, you are sure to have a wonderful dining experience at Dragonfly.  A true entrepreneur, Billy has indeed followed his dreams in the charming town of Truckee, California.
