The Coop: A New Bar in Layton, Utah and A New Face of The Roosters Brewing

October 25, 2022 by Utah Stories Leave a Comment

Last Thursday at 5 pm we headed in the middle of busy after-work traffic toward Layton. Why? The grand opening of The Coop.  The Coop is a brand new concept by The Roosters Brewing Group and it is conveniently located next door to the Roosters Restaurant in Layton’s “Midtown”. Kym and Pete Buttschardt started Roosters Brewing Co on Ogden’s 25th Street back in 1995. Since … [Read more...]

The Artful Dish: Creating Meals too Beautiful to Eat, Utah Top Restaurants

January 30, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

There is a well-worn saying that you only have one chance to make a first impression. Well, in my opinion, that’s as true of food as it is of social relationships.

The pioneering flavor

July 27, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

A quartet of Utah’s culinary pioneers It occurred to me just a week or so ago that I’ve had the privilege of writing about food and drink in Utah for a little over 25 years. When I first began reviewing restaurants for a tiny publication called the Private Eye in the spring of 1994, I wouldn’t have bet that I’d last 25 months as a restaurant critic, never mind 25 years! … [Read more...]

Best farm to table restaurants—separating the pretenders from the contenders

July 4, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

farm to table restaurant is an eatery on or near a farm and the ingredients—most, anyway—that go into the restaurant’s dishes come straight from that farm. 

Table X Restaurant & Garden The phrase “farm to table” gets thrown around a lot in the restaurant world these days, and it can mean different things to different people. At its purest, a farm to table restaurant is literally an eatery that is located on (or at least near) a farm and the ingredients—most, anyway—that go into the restaurant’s dishes come straight from that … [Read more...]

The smaller size of the crowd was surprising. Especially since The Damned played on the Friday before Halloween. However, getting a chance to see them up close was well … [Read more...]
