Weller’s Launches Döner Wagon

Fans, like me, of Weller’s Bistro in Layton will be happy to know that Jan Weller and his team have launched Weller’s Döner Wagon food truck. Enjoy appetizers like fried pickle spears with peppercorn ranch, the soup of the day, or a Mediterranean salad with chicken to start.

The main attraction, of course, is döners, sandwiches and brats. There is a classic beef döner kebab with pommes, a chicken döner, falafel sandwich, pork schnitzel sandwich, currywurst, curry frikadelle, bratwurst l brötchen (kaiser roll), and a döner kebab platter, as well as desserts. Check the Weller’s Döner Wagon page on Facebook for food truck locations and times.

Also, folks who love choucroute garnie will want to stop by Weller’s Bistro next week, when Jan will feature the Asatian-style dish as a dinner special. A while back in an article about Weller’s Bistro I begged and pleaded with Jan Weller to consider putting choucroute garnie on his menu as a special, since the best choucroute garnie begins with great sauerkraut (choucroute in French) and Weller’s has that in spades. I’m looking forward to getting my choucroute garnie fix!

Two Old Guys @ Root’d Cafe

Looking for live music? Two Old Guys – aka Michael Feldman of Feldman’s Deli and Tally Evans – play every Thursday at 6 p.m. at Root’d Cafe. You can enjoy their entertaining mix of ballads, blues, bawdy tunes, drinking songs, favorite covers, and originals elsewhere by checking their Facebook page.

Root’d Cafe in Cottonwood Heights features a range of tasty sandwiches, burgers, tacos and salads, including a nice selection of vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus beer and wine in a friendly atmosphere. Enjoy a small nosh of fried pickles or beignets or go big with the killer Cuban sandwich or Root’d Reuben. Support live local music!

The Utah Farm That Refuses to Give Up as Development Closes In

Running a farm is hard enough, but rapid city growth makes it even tougher. More than a decade ago, the late Verl Cook faced a series of staggering hurdles that threatened to wipe out his family’s livelihood.

First, the city decided to treat the Cook’s greenhouse — the most profitable part of the farm — like a big-box retail store. They demanded the family build a paved parking lot, a project that would cost $200,000.

Future Craft Farm Launches First CSA Season in Salt Lake City

Hall and Scheig found their land last June and broke ground just two months later, transforming what was essentially a blank canvas into a diversified market garden. This year marks their first full growing season, and they’re launching it with a community supported agriculture program, or CSA. CSAs allow people to support local growers by purchasing a season’s worth of produce upfront, giving farmers the financial stability they need during the most expensive part of the year.

Why Utah Loves Dirty Soda: The Story Behind the State’s Sweetest Craze

Why would a state known for avoiding coffee create one of America’s most successful beverage trends? Why would people willingly add cream and flavored syrups to drinks that already contain more than enough sugar? And why are Utahns willing to wait in long drive-thru lines for something they could technically make at home?

Utah’s Housing Debate Misses the Question That Matters Most

A generation ago, homeownership was not reserved for the affluent. Working-class families bought modest homes on modest incomes. They built equity, raised families, and entered retirement with a valuable asset largely paid for.

Today, many Utah families find themselves in a different position. They may earn too much to qualify for housing assistance but too little to purchase a home. They rent apartments that consume an increasing share of their income while saving for a down payment becomes increasingly difficult.
