Gift giving. Hopefully, for you, it's a moment filled with delight, picking out that special something for someone. Many times though it's a fraught process - scanning the aisles online and offline, increasingly frantically, looking for something with a je ne sais quoi than say, yet more socks. This...

Laziz Kitchen Midvale Fans of this popular Mediterranean restaurant should note that the footprint of the restaurant has now shrunk from three to two. In this Instagram post the business announced the closure of its Midvale location (1076 Fort Union Blvd, pictured top). The post reads: "This time of...

Here's one final update for the year on what's new on the dining scene, and a look ahead to what's coming down the road. Next, I'll be dropping our yearly mega-recap featuring every opening we covered this year. Be warned, they're usually Mesopotamian-esque epics. The roundups for 2023, 2022, and 20...

Squatters Several updates have hit the menu at the iconic downtown brewpub. A highlight for some will be the new pizza offerings which follow significant R&D by the kitchen team. "Our chefs and CEO visited almost all of the pizza places in Salt Lake, and to places as far as Chicago to research the b...

After a meal that included one of Mar Muntanya’s most popular protein offerings — Campfire Elk Loin — Andrew Sargent, the restaurant’s chef de cuisine, and I were chatting about the Utah-based source for the meat. We were briefly interrupted by a woman who travels internationally for busines...

I first recounted the tale of Felt Bar & Eatery owners Richard Romney and Travis Herbert in March. Since that Spring debut, their restaurant has continued to iterate and grow in confidence. From hosting a series of guest chef specials (I'm told we're all getting bored of the phrase popups) to effort...

While I can happily guide you in crafting a fabulous tinga de pollo, perfect roast spuds, or lip-numbing mapo tofu - I'd be hard-pressed to share a definitive recipe for restaurant success. The industry is an incredibly difficult one, notable by the fact we toast names that have advanced past the fi...

Asher Adams The lights are now on at this ambitious new hotel on the edge of downtown SLC's The Gateway. Based around the historic Union Pacific Depot building, 200+ rooms are served by a collection of bars and restaurants. The launch team sent me the following quick notes on what to expect from the...

With nearly fifty locations across six states, the Utah success story that is Kneaders Bakery & Cafe is a remarkable one. Founded in 1996, former franchisee operators Gary and Colleen Worthington's objective was simple – an old-world bakery and cafe relying on time-honored techniques and traditio...

This weekend, Saturday, November 9th sees the 2024 return of the Downtown SLC Winter Farmers Market. Held once again at The Gateway (indoors, in case you're looking out the window at that first snow) the market will run 10.00 a.m. - 2.00 p.m. Saturdays through April 19th. Do note that the market wil...

Opening just a couple of months ago, The Bros Cuisine has been on my radar ever since. The business operates out of the ComCom Kitchen commissary in SLC (67 W 1700 S) and typically serves a single dish, once per week on Wednesdays. Given the ephemeral hours of service, it took a little while for...

"One trip to New York turned to three, then five, then more. Tourist trips would become taste tests", explains Jessica Lemieux, owner of Enrico's Deli in West Jordan. The restaurant is essentially a love letter to NYC, a giddy recounting of bodegas, folded slices, and buzzy deli lines. In Lemieux's....

Long-time readers sufferers of my particular oeuvre will know there's a certain dish close to my heart and hands. The humble gyro. Love, live, laugh? More like meat, bread, sauce. Picking a stand-out winner is a challenging affair, what with our glut of options. Frankly, it's tougher than picking a....

I kicked myself for failing to snag a bite at Enrico's Deli during their first outing in Murray. Mercifully, the closure of the location was a brief one, with the restaurant bouncing back this week at Jordan Landing (3778 Center View Way - opposite the movie theatre). Enrico's menu is essentially a....

After months of anticipation from a legion of fans, this week saw Manoli Katsanevas turn the lights on at his latest effort, Parea. The new restaurant can be found (320 E 900 S) just a few minutes walk Westward from award-winning sister eatery Manoli's. In contrast to the established fine-dining des...

Let's start by noting that I don't throw around hyperbole hastily. When I say Deadpan Sandwich is one of the best in the city - I mean it from the bottom of a broadly experienced belly. Ever since my first visit to the Deadpan's original local in the Woodbine food hall (545 West 700 S)...

After news recently dropped that Beltex Meats would shutter at the year's end - this yearly nudge of mine - is even more significant. Beltex Meats are once again accepting orders for their sought-after Thanksgiving turkeys. This time though, it will be the last for the Liberty Park location. Who kno...

In Utah Stories Ted Scheffler investigates Felt (SLC) and wonders if it's the best bar food in SLC. My two penneth: you'd be hard-pressed to beat the partnership of Rich Romney and Travis Herbert. Here's my own write-up from earlier in the year. Also, a second reminder for you, November 3rd will see...
