DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY: Grand America’s Happiest Hours

May 19, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

A couple of months ago I reviewed The Grand America’s wonderful new restaurant, Laurel Brasserie & Bar. It is a killer addition to the downtown SLC dining scene and maybe most surprising: it’s affordable. Well, even more affordable are the Happy Hour specials at Laurel’s bar, which I was barely able to touch on in my previous review since I had so much else to say about the … [Read more...]

Simple Roasted Chicken

May 19, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

One thing that really separates good cooks from not-so-good, is the ability to roast a chicken properly. You’d be surprised how many professional chefs and cooks can’t. It’s deceptively easy, but cooking the meat - especially the breast - so it’s tender and juicy while also creating a beautiful, crispy skin requires attention to detail and technique.  This is one of my … [Read more...]

Skouras Moscofilero

May 19, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

When wine expert and Libation Inc. owner/founder Francis Fecteau recommends a wine to me, I listen. We’ve known each other for decades, and he’s never steered me wrong yet. My wife, Faith, listens also. And I’m glad about that because otherwise, I might never have tasted Skouras Moscofilero 2021, which she brought home recently after a recommendation from Francis.  I’m not … [Read more...]

APPLAUSE WORTHY CUISINE: A Delightful Dinner at Oquirrh Restaurant

May 13, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

As someone who is married to a restaurateur, I’ve never quite understood how marriages survive with couples working together in the same restaurant. But then, I guess that could be said of any business. I’m pretty sure working alongside my wife would not end well, because I would drive her crazy. But there are couples who make this situation work, like Angie and Andrew (Drew) … [Read more...]

Curried Rice Pilaf

May 13, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Curried rice pilaf is a simple side dish, but so much more interesting in texture and flavor than plain pilaf. You could also make this into a main dish by adding cooked shrimp, chicken, tofu, veggies, etc. to the rice.  Ingredients: 1 cup basmati rice 1 Tbsp unsalted butter 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 shallot, minced 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced 1-inch piece … [Read more...]

FINE DINING NOT DEAD: A Visit to The Charleston

May 6, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

It’s sort of sad - to me, at least - that for every independent restaurant in Draper, Utah, there are probably 25 more chains and franchise eateries. In fact that might be lowballing the actual numbers. And, if you’re looking for fine dining in Draper … well, best of luck.  There is however, at least one such option: The Charleston. To my knowledge, The Charleston in … [Read more...]
