February 24, 2021 by M. Shane Richins Leave a Comment

Outdoor sports are one of the biggest reasons to live in Utah. People come from all over the world to ski, mountain bike, rock climb, and pursue a plethora of other adrenaline addictions that bring them face-to-face with raw nature.  The geographic wrinkles that rise up all around us in this beautiful state, sculpted and carved by wind and water, offer a view from just about … [Read more...]

Stocking Up On Fabulous Foods From Our Favorite Markets

February 20, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  When I moved to Utah in 1992, specialty food stores were few and far between. Liberty Heights Fresh was still a year away from opening and Granato’s was about the only gourmet game in town, selling imported Italian foods, hot and cold sandwiches, kitchenware and such.  Thankfully, much has changed in the nearly 30 years since then, and SLC and its environs are … [Read more...]

December 22, 2020 by Utah Stories Leave a Comment

Since 2005, European Tastees has been providing a taste of nostalgia to the European population in the Greater Salt Lake area. It is a true family business, founded by an Armenian couple, Artur Makian and Ruzan Mnoyan. I chatted with their son, Andrew Makian, who is carrying on his parents’ legacy of making German, Polish, Bulgarian, Russian, ex-Yugoslavian, and many other … [Read more...]

Western Timber Frame

December 15, 2020 by Nicole Anderson Leave a Comment

The family gathers at the table, resting in the shade of their new pergola. The sunset and the evening lights illuminate the pathway to this new gathering place. The ceiling fan suspended from the wood rafter pushes the hot summer air away, as laughter and good food brings the family together, forging lasting memories. Hyrum Thompson, a cabinet maker, and his son Brad, … [Read more...]

COVID Marketplace – New Restaurants and Sad Closures

October 28, 2020 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Salt Lake City’s downtown is starting to show signs of life again. Cruising down Broadway the adaptations that restaurants have had to make for COVID are apparent: mainly expanded patio dining. More space that was for sidewalks is now used for customers.  But sadly those lacking patios are hurting: Stanza, Current, and Under Current are open with limited seating after 5 PM. … [Read more...]

Reparadise: Cranking Out Off-The-Grid Rigs

September 15, 2020 by Claire McArthur Leave a Comment

  For more than eight years, Brandon Zinninger and his team at Reparadise in West Valley City have been turning camper trailers — usually vintage Airstreams — into high-tech custom homes on wheels.  But as the market has fluctuated — as well as the interests of Zinninger and his crew — Reparadise has found themselves spending more time in the shop crafting unique … [Read more...]

In just the click of a few computer keys your personal identity or your business client lists can be in the hands of criminals willing to sell anything of value on the dark web.  How do you fight criminals that spend their waking hours figuring out how to get through your security systems and firewalls as quickly as you put them up?  One company, INVISUS, has … [Read more...]

When the forces of Baby Yoda and gourmet chocolate are combined together, you find Truffle Cottage. Jennie Hales is the creator and owner of Truffle Cottage.

I’m the type of person who will get a box of chocolates and sample all of them until I find the one that is actually good.” She began to wonder if she could create an … [Read more...]

Backflow Water Testing: What You Need to Know

If you are like most Utahns you know that you have clean water a.k.a. culinary water in the house. There are secondary water systems such as agriculture water that many homes across the state have as well. Most of us know that in Davis County or other rural areas you don’t drink from the hose because it is secondary water, which is not potable (drinkable) water.   So, what … [Read more...]
