RIo Grande Street to enjoy their boba, smoothies, coffees, and more. 

Smokewood at The Lodge at Blue Sky

A new dining experience launches at The Lodge at Blue Sky this summer: SmokeWood, a mobile food trailer, will offer a rotating menu of Texas-Style craft barbeque and traditional Tex-Mex cuisine on Friday nights at Gracie’s Farm (Blue Sky’s farm and ranch facility in Wanship) from Father’s Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, and at the Lodge on major summer holidays. The folks at Blue Sky said, “Based on which menu is on tap for that week, guests will savor the bold, earthy flavors of slow-smoked meats or southwest border classics in a casual, fun, community-driven atmosphere. After a day of exploring the property, guests can saddle up to the food truck in their dusty hiking boots or comfiest jeans for exceptional al fresco dining.”

“SmokeWood was created by Park City local David Williams, a Texas native with a resume that is as interesting as it is varied. Williams retired from a successful law career to become an award-winning author, stand-up comedian, and heralded pitmaster. This summer, Williams will personally cook the SmokeWood menu in a top-of-the-line mobile kitchen featuring wood-fired smokers used by some of top 10 Texas barbecue restaurants. SmokeWood’s mobile kitchen also features a custom wood burning Santa Maria grill, allowing the pitmaster to turn Texas-size hand-wheels that raise and lower the cooking grates to control cook temperatures.”

Yuta, The Lodge at Blue Sky’s signature restaurant, will curate the beverage menu which will offer homemade lemonade, High West Whiskey cocktails, margaritas, Mexican beer and Saving Gracie’s beer, a private label IPA created especially for the Saving Gracie Equine Healing Foundation.

The Texas-Style Craft Barbecue menu features barbeque platters and sandwiches, a la carte smoked meats, desserts and more. The Tex-Mex (Fiesta Comida) cuisine includes quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas, tamales and traditional sides and desserts. This seasonal operation will host its grand opening Father’s Day weekend and run every Friday night through Labor Day weekend. It will also be available for private events on request.

Chef’s Garden Table Series at Mar | Muntanya

Having launched just this past Saturday June 8th, Mar | Muntanya is offering a Chef’s Garden Table dinner experience every Saturday this summer helmed by Executive Chef and Salt Lake City local Tyson Peterson. The intimate supper is available as a one-table-per-week narrative culinary journey, with eight seats in total. Dishes such as snow-aged wagyu, charred cucumber gazpacho, and charcoal king crab are menu favorites on a rotating cadence, with Chef Tyson preparing, serving, and explaining every dish in a culinary exhibition.

Each week’s menu is created of the moment, with produce sourced from the executive chef’s restaurant garden as well as from the downtown Farmers’ Market and local greenhouse growers. Vegetables are the focus of the experience, but several dishes will be paired with ingredients from the ocean and the mountains, staying true to the ethos and namesake of the Spanish-inspired restaurant.

Supper is priced at $150/person for this exclusive experience for a maximum of eight weekly diners. Reservations can be made on Tock.

  • When Main Street Burned: The Aftermath of the Salt Lake City Fire That Hit Downtown Bars

    Fire doesn’t respect zoning, property lines, or even the most popular block on Main Street. On the evening of Monday, August 11, 2025, a blaze that began around 8:40 p.m. on Main Street. It moved quickly through a row of aging, interconnected buildings that had become the heart and soul of Salt Lake City’s fledgling bar district. By the time firefighters brought it under control, multiple businesses were damaged, dozens of workers were displaced, and one of the city’s most active stretches went dark.

    The fire started at London Bell and spread into neighboring structures, severely damaging Whiskey Street. White Horse never caught fire, but smoke, water, and a partial roof collapse caused extensive interior damage, forcing a full rebuild. Other nearby businesses were affected as well, including some that had helped turn this part of Main Street into one of its most active and economically stable stretches.
