For this week’s dining adventure the missus and I masked up and headed to Hearth and Hill restaurant in Park City to check out the new summer menu there. One thing I particularly like about Hearth and Hill - especially during a pandemic - is that it’s LARGE. There is plenty of space - both indoors and on the patio - for safe, socially distanced dining. Before being seated … [Read more...]

Creole Catfish Recipe
Here is a really simple method for cooking Creole style blackened catfish on the grill. One benefit of cooking the fish in a pan on the outdoor grill is that you won’t set off the smoke alarms indoors. Ingredients: 2-4 catfish fillets, patted dry with paper towels - figure one fillet per person ½ cup butter, melted 2 Tbsp (or more to taste) Creole seasoning such as … [Read more...]
Chanson Viré-Clessé: an Affordable White Burgundy from France
For my Scheff’s Table column this week, I included an easy recipe for blackened, Creole-style catfish. Now, in New Orleans most folks would probably drink Abita beer with their catfish. But I decided to go a little more upscale and chose a bottle (actually, my wife selected it) of Domaine Chanson Viré-Clessé 2017 ($23.74). This is a (relatively) affordable white Burgundy … [Read more...]
The Comforts of Home – Global Comfort Food Recipes for the Home Cook
As I’m sure is the case with many Utah Bites readers, I’ve been spending a lot more time in my kitchen lately. That’s partly out of necessity since it was impossible to eat out in restaurants during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. But I’m also choosing not to spend very much time in restaurants these days, even though some have reopened. I just feel safer at … [Read more...]

Roosters Ogden Double IPA
Earlier this week I was looking for something to sip alongside a dinner of Bison Tacos I was making at home (see Scheff’s Table for the recipe). So, I picked up a couple of cans of Ogden Double IPA from Roosters Brewing Co. and it was a slam-dunk with those tasty tacos. I assume Roosters calls this beer Ogden Double IPA because the original Roosters location … [Read more...]

St. Regis Sensation – RIME Seafood & Steak Reopens
Time flies. It’s hard for me to believe that 10 years have passed since I had the good fortune to spend the better part of a day and enjoy dinner with world renowned restaurateur Jean-Georges Vongerichten, upon the opening of his J&G Grill at the St. Regis Deer Valley. At that time, Matthew Harris was serving as Chef de Cuisine at J&G, having worked for Jean-Georges … [Read more...]
