Some of Utah’s best cuisine can be found in places that might not look like gustatory havens - strip malls, shopping centers or far from neighborhood culinary centers. But they are worth seeking out, especially these ones. It should go without saying that it would be wise to phone these businesses before heading out to them. Some offer only takeout dining during the pandemic … [Read more...]
All About Arlo: A Visit to Marmalade’s Newest Eatery
I was bummed to hear of the closing of Emily Gassman’s namesake restaurant, Em’s, in the Marmalade neighborhood. It, along with Martine and Cucina, were among SLC’s first American bistro-style eateries. The good news is that in the space that was Em’s, a brand new restaurant called Arlo has opened. The new owners completely gutted the place and turned it into a very … [Read more...]

Eyrie Vineyards Oregon Pinot Blanc
During a recent visit for dinner to the all-new Arlo restaurant (see this week’s Utah Bites restaurant review), my wife and I shared a bottle of The Eyrie Vineyards 2017 Oregon Pinot Blanc ($14.95/Utah retail price). Simply put, this is a wonderful wine and a steal for 15 bucks. For many years I’ve been a big fan of Oregon’s Eyrie Vineyards wine and their philosophy of … [Read more...]
Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Pesto Butter
If, like me, you have a lot of end-of-summer basil in the garden, here is a tasty way to use some of it. I like to make pesto butter to top grilled flat iron steak with. First you make a basic basil pesto, then add butter and finish with olive oil. There’s no cooking required for the pesto butter and it freezes well if you have leftovers. Ingredients: 1 cup basil 1/4 … [Read more...]
Bombay to Bollywood – A Visit to Riverdale’s Bombay Bites
Given that India was a British colony until 1947, Brits tend to know their Indian cuisine pretty well. And so, when someone from the U.K. says that Bombay Bites in Riverdale serves the best Indian food they’ve had since they left Britain, I listen. Although it’s been open for eight years, I wasn’t familiar with Bombay Bites, located in a Riverdale strip mall (which … [Read more...]

Pascal Jolivet Attitude Sauvignon Blanc
I have always found Pascal Jolivet wines from France to be exceptionally good values. And that’s certainly the case with the wine I’m featuring this week: Pascal Jolivet Attitude Sauvignon Blanc 2018 ($17.49). The Jolivet family have been players in the wine world since 1926, when Louis Jolivet and his son, Lucien, established the Jolivet and Son wine merchant company. The … [Read more...]
Kitchen Comforts – Carson Kitchen Rocks into SLC
You have to admit, it takes cojones grandes to open a new restaurant in the midst of a pandemic. But that’s precisely what Chef and President Cory Harwell did when he unlocked the doors to his brand spankin’ new Carson Kitchen in downtown SLC a couple weeks ago. It wasn’t exactly the plan he had in mind. But COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into pretty much everyone’s best laid … [Read more...]
