Wiener schnitzel is quite easy to prepare, with the caveat that you are organized and set up an assembly line-type prep station beforehand. It cooks very quickly. Traditionally, wiener schnitzel was made with scallopini-type veal medallions. However, today it is frequently made with boneless pork. I tend to prefer pork because it's less expensive than veal and most veal … [Read more...]
New Saltfire Singularity Beer
I just love the clever folks at Saltfire Brewing Co., whose writing is nearly as impressive as their beers. This week, they issued a new release in their Singularity line of IPA brews, explaining it like this: If the Citra Ninja wandered about New Zealand and mistook some hop plants for blood enemies then the carnage left behind could only be the Motueka hop … [Read more...]
Chowder & Powder: Seafood and Snow at Deer Valley Resort
Utah may be landlocked, but there is no shortage of seafood to be found here. To wit, it’s hard to walk two blocks without running into a sushi restaurant. And Gastronomy, Inc. has been flying in fresh seafood daily for their Market Street restaurants for decades now. Even so, you probably wouldn’t expect a ski resort to be a seafood haven. That is, unless it was D … [Read more...]

Help Wanted: Utah’s Labor Shortage
Is America running out of workers? According to a December 13, 2018 report by The Conference Board—a nonprofit organization dedicated to researching and addressing looming business issues—2019 may be a historically tight year in the labor market.

Escape to a New Life
“Where we going Mom, where we going?” the kids asked repeatedly as they followed their mother day and night for about three weeks through jungles and across rivers and swamps in Cambodia. “Almost there, almost there,” lied Rem Kros to her five kids as they fled their village in Battambang Province. With swollen feet, bloody and blistered from traveling miles a day … [Read more...]

A modest relocatable classroom located at Lincoln Elementary School in South Salt Lake houses the Serve Refugees Sharehouse - a crucial resource for thousands of refugees that didn’t exist before 2016. Donations like toiletry essentials, cleaning kits, and gas gift cards revolve in and out of the classroom - which added up to serve roughly 31,000 refugees in 2017. … [Read more...]
Scheff’s Table – Saffron Valley’s Saag Paneer
One of my favorite restaurants - actually, a series of restaurants around the Valley - is Saffron Valley.

For this week’s Scheff’s Table, I asked Lavanya to share one of her favorite Saffron Valley recipes with me and Utah Bites rea … [Read more...]
