DOGGEDLY DELICIOUS—Fletcher’s Captivating Canine Pedigree

January 29, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Flip over the menu at Fletcher’s in Park City and on the back you’ll find an essay that begins, “All good stories start with a dog. And they end with an amazing meal among friends. At least, that’s how this story goes.” Fletcher - for whom Fletcher’s restaurant is named - is a dog. According to owners Sue and Steve Demarest, “Fletcher wasn’t always his name.” They are … [Read more...]

What to do this Valentine’s Day? Take Your Sweetheart to Cocktails and Cannabis Dinner or Win a Two-Night Staycation with Dinner and Spa!

Seafood Dining Take-Away @ Deer Valley For many years, one of my favorite dining destinations has been the Seafood Buffet at Deer Valley Resort, which operates during the ski season. Well, this year - as we all know - things are a little different. Since buffets are a no-no in a pandemic, Seafood Dining - as it’s now called - still offers a dine-in experience, but without the … [Read more...]

Shrimp Creole

January 29, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I’ve tried dozens of different recipes for shrimp Creole in the past. However, this one - which is based on a NY Times recipe - is my wife’s favorite, so it’s become my go-to shrimp Creole recipe. It may look complicated due to the large number of ingredients, but the actual cooking time is pretty brief - about a half hour.  Ingredients: 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined … [Read more...]

Mer Soleil Reserve Pinot Noir 2017

January 29, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

For many years, I’ve been a big fan of buttery, rich Mer Soleil Chardonnay where you can pick up lemon blossoms in the aroma of the wine from the Meyer lemons planted on the Mer Soleil property in the Santa Lucia Highlands of California. I was less familiar with Mer Soleil Reserve Pinot Noir ($39.99), until recently. Now I’m a fan of that Mer Soleil selection as well. It’s one … [Read more...]

THIRD TIME A CHARM — Finca’s Third Location is a Magical One

January 22, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Finca. In Spanish the word finca is commonly translated as “farm,” but more specifically refers typically to an “estate.” As Wikipedia puts it: “a piece of rural or agricultural land, typically with a cottage, farmhouse or estate building present, and often adjacent to a woodland or plantation.” Well, that description is not one that fits Finca restaurant in Salt Lake City … [Read more...]

RICKSHAW Pinot Noir

January 21, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Last week I asked my wife, Faith, to pick me up an inexpensive bottle of California Pinot Noir when she stopped by the wine store - “Surprise me,” I said. Now, Faith tends to choose wines based on bottle labels and art that she likes. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) So, I shouldn’t have been surprised that she brought home a bottle of 2019 RICKSHAW Pinot Noir … [Read more...]

Butter Chicken Recipe

January 21, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Butter chicken is a very popular Indian curry dish that is also called murgh makhani. The chicken is smothered in a creamy curry sauce made with vindaloo spice mix, which can be purchased at stores and online such as at Penzeys Spices. This recipe is largely based on one shared by Andrew Zimmern in Food & Wine. You’ll want to get a head start as the chicken needs to … [Read more...]

Can you still speak your mind on Instagram?

January 15, 2021 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Big-tech is taking aim at the voices on the right and silencing decent. They do this under the pretense that they are preventing violence and hate speech. This perhaps seems justified to many Americans. But now voices on the center and independent publishers are being silenced as well. Utah Stories' mission is to promote civil discourse and the voices on both sides of … [Read more...]

WORD ON THE STREET: Afterword Raises the Culinary Stakes in Heber

January 15, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Despite enjoying comfy spots like Spin Cafe, Tony’s Tacos, and venerable Chick’s Cafe, I don’t really get over to Heber City very often. However, that’s going to change. Because with the opening of Afterword By Tupelo Park City, Heber now has a dining destination that is well worth going out of the way for.  Afterword is the creation of partners Maggie Alvarez and … [Read more...]
