Laissez Les Bons Temps : A Taste of Mardi Gras at Stanza

February 28, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Stanza restaurant is normally known for its fine Italian fare. After all, the complete name of the eatery is Stanza Italian Bistro & Wine Bar. But this week, Stanza was transformed - at least in spirit - into a New Orleans eatery. The occasion was Mardi Gras, and Stanza Executive Chef Jonathan LeBlanc has Southern roots and a deep knowledge of Creole and Cajun … [Read more...]

St. Paddy’s Day Celebration, Leap Day Frog’s Leap Wine Dinner, and Spanish Wine Dinner

February 28, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Title: Food & Drink 411 Callanish @ The Garage If you’re looking for the perfect place to spend St. Paddy’s Day, I think the Garage on Beck would be pretty hard to beat. Corned beef and cabbage will be served all day, and if you don’t love corned beef, the Reuben sandwich at the Garage is killer. There will also be beer and whiskey specials all day. Utah’s own Callanish … [Read more...]

Thai Drunken Noodles with Tofu Recipe

February 28, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

There is no alcohol in “drunken” noodles, but there are countless variations on this delicious dish all over Thailand. It’s typically a very spicy dish and that’s the way I like it. However, you can control the heat level by using fewer spicy chilies or adding more if you like it hot. Use the widest rice noodles you can find for this recipe. I made Drunken Noodles this time … [Read more...]

Refreshing, Crisp Italian Wine: 2018 Zenato Lugana di San Benedetto

February 28, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I’ve been on a bit of an Italian wine kick lately. That’s partly because I keep coming across wonderful wine values from Italy, like this one: 2018 Zenato Lugana di San Benedetto, priced at a mere $16.99 here in Utah. Zenato Lugana is made from 100% Trebbiano grapes - one of the most widely planted wine grape varietals in the world. The grapes were harvested from Zenato’s … [Read more...]

Big Dreams for Tiny Houses by Architectural Nexus in Salt Lake City

February 26, 2020 by Brian Fryer Leave a Comment

On a brisk fall day in October, employees of Architectural Nexus in Salt Lake City gathered for a farewell party. They were not bidding goodbye and good luck to a coworker, but to the tiny house in their parking lot, a house they had designed and built together over the past year that would now be shipped to Seattle, placed on the property of a “host home”, and become a … [Read more...]

Skewered! With Nohm Serious Yakitori Lands in SLC

February 21, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Last spring during a visit to New York City, my wife and I enjoyed a superb meal in America’s only Michelin-starred yakitori restaurant, called Torishin. And since that time I’ve been tugging on the shirtsleeves of every restaurateur and chef I know, encouraging someone to open a yakitori eatery here in the Beehive State. Yakitori is an up and coming food trend … [Read more...]

Chicken Korma Ansari Recipe

February 21, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Aziz Ansari is one of my favorite actors/comedians. You might have seen him doing stand-up or in a show like Master of None or Parks and Recreation, among others. A couple of years ago I came across a family recipe (I don’t recall where) that Ansari shared - it’s his mother’s (Fatima Ansari) recipe for Chicken Korma and it’s terrific. This isn’t quite as “saucy” as typical … [Read more...]

A Versatile Italian Rose: Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello

February 21, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Last week in this column I wrote about a nifty new wine discovery from Italy called Casanova di Neri IrROSSO. This week, I’m turning my attention to another really great Italian wine. This one is a Rosé: Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello 2018 ($21.99). Masseria Li Veli is a winery in Italy’s Apulia region, founded and operated since 1999 by the Falvo family. They’ve … [Read more...]
