Carnegie’s Public House – I could no doubt write a sassy, epic diatribe about the conveyor belt of failure that has beset this Peery Hotel space in recent years. But I won’t. I am above that kind of thing. Well, o.k. I’m not, but I feel as though it’s shooting fish in a tin can […]

New restaurants June – 2017
Albasha – New to City Creek downtown, this Greek and Lebanese inspired restaurant that claims a specialty in chicken shawarma and gyros. Count me in. Long time readers will know I’m like a moth to the flame when it comes to meat on rotating sticks. Seriously, you could lure me off a cliff edge with […]
Dining Out: We Olive
This past week I stopped by We Olive, one of the newest businesses to open in what’s quickly looking like an ever rejuvenated Trolley Square.

State Of The Plate 2016
Ever seethed at the latest best of awards? Recoiled in anger at the so called best this, and coveted that? Yip me too. Which is why this year I decided to look back on the year and use science. Please note: I am terrible at science. As we all know, there are three types of […]
Naked Fish No More
Nearly ten years may have passed, but I still recall every vivid detail from one of the most enjoyable meals of my life.

Dining Out: HSL
Restaurants tend to be as every bit ephemeral as the dishes they serve. In a world where today’s bus boy is tomorrow’s sous chef – a restaurant is very much an ensemble piece, a fluid orchestra of players carefully conducted. At HSL in Salt Lake City, Briar Handly is the maestro, marshaling together an incredibly […]
Events: Feast Of The Five Senses 2016

New restaurants around SLC – May 2016
Proper Pub and Proper Burger – In March I wrote a brief preview of these two new operations for Utah Stories. Shortly after that I also attended a soft opening to kick the tires as it were. Thankfully none fell off and there was beer, good beer. The pub side of things looks to have […]
