Ghost of Gibson Lounge at Grand America

For the spooky season, Grand America Hotel is getting into the spirit by transforming their Gibson Lounge into “a ghostly affair from one’s Halloween dreams.” According to Grand America, “Named the Ghost of Gibson, the themed bar experience will run for the month of October, featuring ghoulish décor, spooky seasonal cocktails and plenty of photo opps.”

“Visitors can sip on frightfully fun potions and elixirs like Vampire’s Kiss, The Gravedigger and the Creepy Colada mocktail paired with fang-tastic menu items like Monster Meatballs, Goblin Gobbler Sandwich Haunted, ‘Ham’ Burger and Riga-Boney. Decked out in Halloween décor, it’s a must-visit for Salt Lake City visitors and locals.” For dessert, you might be tempted by the Are You Afraid of the Dark Chocolate Cake.

A Beltex Thanksgiving

For many discerning food aficionados, a turkey or ham from SLC’s own Beltex Meats is a must-have for the holiday table. Well, good news: For the 10th year running, Beltex is offering customers their cider-brined and maple glazed hams as well as 72-hour brined turkey with garlic herb butter under the skin, roast ready.

Beltex sells out of their hams and turkey yearly, so if you want to reserve one head to the Beltex Meats website where you can make a deposit and place a pre-order for your holiday ham or turkey. ($50 non-refundable deposit required; the balance due at time of pickup.)
