Ramsay, Keller, Waters. More often than not, it’s a solitary name on a restaurant’s menu that draws the crowds. It’s easy to see why, in this industry, a singularly executed vision goes a long way toward a seal of excellence. There are always exceptions to the rule of course, and sometimes two heads are better than one. Here are two of my favorite restaurants in Utah—where … [Read more...]

Utah Barbecue – Food for the Wild West

August 25, 2015 by Stuart Melling Leave a Comment

For this month’s Wild West theme, I spoke to three of SLC’s finest BBQ joints and asked them, “What puts the yee-haw in your Q?" The Sugarhouse Barbeque Company, 880 E. 2100 So., was my first port of call. “We are a Memphis-style BBQ establishment,” owner Bill Smithers prefaced. “That means we season our meat in a dry rub, kind of a special seasoned salt. Then we smoke … [Read more...]

Utah Brewers Cooperative: Wasatch & Squatters

BTG Wine Bar Why it’s hot: BTG seemed an improbable Hail Mary when its doors opened in 2013. With only a temporary liquor permit under its belt, the future was uncertain. Skip forward to 2014, an overwhelmingly positive public response, and now with a full liquor license, SLC’s very first true wine bar is blossoming.
