To say the secret is out about Zhu Ting Ji, would be an understatement for the ages. The Taylorsville newcomer has been nothing short of besieged on every trek I've made.

Time for an update. It's been eighteen months since I penned this article espousing the culinary charms of Pornpimon Prathummas - chef and owner of Kin Sen Noodle House (2819 S 2300 E) at the time. Prathummas has been at the helm of a variety of excellent spots through the years, and in recent month...

You can stop filling my inbox and DMs, everybody. For all those that have asked what, when and how - I can confirm that the wraps come off Sugar House Station today at 11.00 a.m. and after a quick peep inside with owner Scott Evans, I think it's safe to say this amibtious food and...

It's that time of the year folks - daily news inches and moment-by-moment debate and intrigue (more on that below).

It's been a whirlwind twenty-four months for Salt Lake Brewing Co. It's practically two years to the day that Monster Energy Drinks gulped down CANarchy – the collective brewery home to the iconic Squatters and Wasatch breweries. Just two months after the $330 million transaction, a newly minted S...

It's been a little more than six months since I had the pleasure to geek out with Kyle Williams - the driving force behind Marcato Kitchen. During that first encounter, I dove gleefully into the Banh Boli, an Italian-Vietnamese fission of ideas and ingredients (it's back on the menu right now just s...

Zhu Ting Ji I'll start our first new restaurant roundup of the year out of alphabetical order. You'll be happy I did. Zhu Ting Ji recently opened (5486 S 1900 W) in Taylorsville, doing so fairly under the radar from what I can tell. There's minimal online presence or marketing. The arrival brings a....

Gift giving. Hopefully, for you, it's a moment filled with delight, picking out that special something for someone.
