In the 7th and final hearing to address Utah's first crow hunt, the Wildlife Board voted, 3-2, to approve it.

Ekamai Thai: An Affordable Sugar House Experience

July 29, 2014 by Jutta Brandt Leave a Comment

A visit to my all-time favorite Momofuku Noodle Bar during a recent visit to New York reignited my love for Asian-inspired dining, but also hit my wallet in a bad way. Not to mention the wait time which, at nearly two hours, bordered on the absurd. It was a welcome change then to be able to walk straight into Ekamai Thai in Sugar House and be shown to a table without … [Read more...]

Sitting on the seat of his festive tricycle, Josh Bross halloos a passerby with his favorite line, “Bet you a smile you’ll enjoy a pedicab ride.” Pedicabs are a novel mode of transportation in SLC, and from 10:00 p.m. to 1 a.m. we counted about a dozen cabs taking diners and bar hoppers on short jaunts.

July 23, 2014 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Examine the terrain on Google Maps and you see almost nothing but dirt and salt and a few dusty roads. Do people live here? If so how do they earn a living? It turns out that even north of Willard, even past the turn-off for Bear Lake, east along the shore of the Great Salt Lake – there is some incredible beauty to behold.
