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...]

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).

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.

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...]
