ROMANCE IN THE AIR Under the Radar Date Night Dining

February 3, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

When recommending restaurants for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner, it’s tempting to name the obvious, tried and true places. I’m thinking, of course, of spots like Log Haven, La Caille, Grappa, Mariposa and Fireside Dining at Deer Valley Resort, Veneto, Tupelo, Caffe Molise, Tuscany, Yuta at Blue Sky Ranch … those sorts of restaurants. But I believe that if you’re with the … [Read more...]

Pork Tonkatsu

February 3, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

A very popular dish in Japan is tonkatsu: deep-fried pork cutlets drizzled with katsu sauce. It’s typically served with plain steamed white rice, although I tend to serve pork tonkatsu with sesame noodles, udon, or something a little more flavorful than plain rice. It's also traditionally served with shredded cabbage (preferably Napa) alongside. Ingredients: 4-6 boneless … [Read more...]

A Valentine’s Day Splurge

February 3, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I don’t normally write about wines in the Sip o’ the Week column that I can’t afford. But this week I am making an exception with upcoming Valentine’s Day in mind. If you’re looking for a bottle of bubbly for Cupid’s day that is sure to raise the wow factor for your special Champagne lover, I recommend taking a second mortgage out on your house and splurging on a bottle of … [Read more...]

THE HEALTHY KITCHEN: Tools & Gadgets for Healthier Cooking at Home

January 31, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

As we embark on another new year, many of us have made resolutions that may or may not have already gone by the wayside. Or maybe you put off making any resolutions. If so, I have one for you: How about making your home kitchen a healthier place? That is something pretty much all of us can and should do. I’m not talking here about what to eat, but rather how what we eat is … [Read more...]

SMALL PLATES, BIG FLAVORS A Scrumptious Visit to Eva

January 27, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Before attending a show at the Eccles Theater in downtown SLC recently, my wife and I popped into one of our favorite neighborhood bistros for a bite to eat: Eva. Named for his great grandmother, Eva Coombs, Chef/Owner Charlie Perry opened Eva in early 2009 and it’s been a popular downtown dine-and-drink spot since Day 1. Perry has said that his passion for organic foods and … [Read more...]

Duck Fat Bucatini Carbonara

January 27, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

When I make pasta carbonara, I normally begin the sauce by sizzling bacon bits in olive oil. However, it occurred to me recently that using duck fat in place of some of the oil would kick up my carbonara considerably, and I was right. I urge you to try this hack to improve your pasta carbonara at home. In addition, it might sound strange but I found that using Niman Ranch … [Read more...]

Santa Giustina Barbera Colli Piacentini

January 27, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

In this week’s Scheff’s Table column, I featured my recipe for pasta carbonara made with duck fat. It’s a deliciously decadent dish. Pairing wine with carbonara sauce can be tricky due to the creaminess of the sauce, smoky bacon, and salty cheese flavors. So I usually turn to a fruity, low-tannin red wine with a touch of acidity to cut through those creamy, cheesy, salty and … [Read more...]

FOOD ON FILM Delicious Dining at the Movies

January 20, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

With the Sundance Film Festival rolling into Utah this week, I thought I’d turn my attention to some of my favorite movies about food - there’s a smorgasbord of them to delight in for the hungry filmgoer.  My very favorite food-themed film was one that I originally saw at the Sundance Film Festival. Big Night won the Grand Jury Dramatic Prize at Sundance in 1996 and … [Read more...]
