Following City Guidelines Fear Factory is Still Bringing on the Scare

September 30, 2020 by Connie Lewis Leave a Comment

Last November, Fear Factory began a major renovation. Back then, owner Rob Dunfield couldn’t have predicted that a few months later COVID-19 would rear its ugly head and put a damper on haunted houses and businesses everywhere.  But Dunfield and his team, including his wife and co-owner Heidi Dunfield, decided that a scary virus wasn’t going to stop them from scaring Salt … [Read more...]

September 29, 2020 by Amiee Maxwell Leave a Comment

The coronavirus has been devastating for small businesses. But during this upheaval, some local Utah businesses are not only surviving, but thriving, thanks to changes in consumer behavior. Businesses suited to our new stay-at-home lifestyles, such as those in the outdoor recreation, crafting and home improvement realms, have been overwhelmed with demand.   Eric Flynn, owner … [Read more...]

COVID in the Classroom: Teaching Dilemmas in 2020

September 28, 2020 by Nicole Anderson Leave a Comment

Coronavirus, Corona, COVID-19, The Rona, The Wuhan Virus. It doesn’t matter what you call it, it’s here, and it looks like it is here to stay. The Coronavirus, commonly known as COVID-19, has changed the way education looks in Utah and across the country. COVID-19 plans for academic institutes have left many parents scrambling for options for their child’s education.  Many … [Read more...]

STAYING POWERS – Checking in on Venerable Bambara Restaurant

September 25, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

It’s hard for me to believe that I first wrote about Bambara restaurant when it opened, some 21 years ago now. Time flies. Bambara opened its doors simultaneously with the Kimpton Hotel Monaco, in which it is housed. The Hotel Monaco is, in my opinion, Utah’s finest boutique hotel. It’s where many famous rock bands and performers stay when, in more normal times, they’re playing … [Read more...]

Simplified Devilish Shrimp

September 25, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Most often, recipes for Mexican-style devilishly hot shrimp - camarones a la diabla - involves destemming, deseeding and charring dried peppers, then reconstituting them in water, etc. This version is a quicker, simplified one that uses chile powder rather than dried chiles. Give it a try!  Ingredients: 1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 3 Tbsp New Mexico chile … [Read more...]

Wasatch Brewery New Pilsner: Great Deceiver

September 25, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

In my opinion, Pilsners are the gold standard for international beer brewing, and Wasatch Brewery has just released a new brew called the Great Deceiver Imperial Pilsner which, they say, “now reigns supreme as a devilishly delicious and deceptively sessionable beer.” According to the brewers, “Wasatch gave the Devil his due in this big, bold Imperial Pilsner that sits on a … [Read more...]

Off the Eaten Path – Finding Flavor in Unlikely Locations

September 19, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Some of Utah’s best cuisine can be found in places that might not look like gustatory havens - strip malls, shopping centers or far from neighborhood culinary centers. But they are worth seeking out, especially these ones. It should go without saying that it would be wise to phone these businesses before heading out to them. Some offer only takeout dining during the pandemic … [Read more...]

All About Arlo: A Visit to Marmalade’s Newest Eatery

September 18, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I was bummed to hear of the closing of Emily Gassman’s namesake restaurant, Em’s, in the Marmalade neighborhood. It, along with Martine and Cucina, were among SLC’s first American bistro-style eateries.  The good news is that in the space that was Em’s, a brand new restaurant called Arlo has opened. The new owners completely gutted the place and turned it into a very … [Read more...]
