Downtown SLC Restaurant Resurgence Guide

What would Salt Lake City be without our restaurants and bars? The social fabric of our local communities depends on the hundreds of chefs, restaurant workers, and mixologists at bars and restaurants. There are also hundreds of ancillary businesses that depend on them such as this Utah Stories. Never before has there been a time when our hospitality industry has been so … [Read more...]

THIRD TIME A CHARM — Finca’s Third Location is a Magical One

January 22, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Finca. In Spanish the word finca is commonly translated as “farm,” but more specifically refers typically to an “estate.” As Wikipedia puts it: “a piece of rural or agricultural land, typically with a cottage, farmhouse or estate building present, and often adjacent to a woodland or plantation.” Well, that description is not one that fits Finca restaurant in Salt Lake City … [Read more...]

RICKSHAW Pinot Noir

January 21, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Last week I asked my wife, Faith, to pick me up an inexpensive bottle of California Pinot Noir when she stopped by the wine store - “Surprise me,” I said. Now, Faith tends to choose wines based on bottle labels and art that she likes. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) So, I shouldn’t have been surprised that she brought home a bottle of 2019 RICKSHAW Pinot Noir … [Read more...]

The chicken is smothered in a creamy curry sauce made with vindaloo spice mix, which can be purchased at stores and online such as at Penzeys Spices. This recipe is largely based on one shared by Andrew Zimmern in Food & Wine. You’ll want to get a head start as the chicken needs to … [Read more...]

WORD ON THE STREET: Afterword Raises the Culinary Stakes in Heber

January 15, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Despite enjoying comfy spots like Spin Cafe, Tony’s Tacos, and venerable Chick’s Cafe, I don’t really get over to Heber City very often. However, that’s going to change. Because with the opening of Afterword By Tupelo Park City, Heber now has a dining destination that is well worth going out of the way for.  Afterword is the creation of partners Maggie Alvarez and … [Read more...]

Moscow Mule at Stoneground

January 14, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Whether enjoyed in the crisp chill of winter or as a refreshing summertime libation, the Moscow Mule has become a favorite among American cocktail lovers. However, the popular cocktail doesn’t seem to have originated in Russia.  Boozy historians speculate that the Moscow Mule was created, pre-Cold War, in the good ol’ USA sometime in the 1940s. At that time, vodka wasn’t … [Read more...]

WILLKOMMEN TO WELLER’S—Excellent German Fare & More in Layton

January 8, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Being of German and Austrian descent, I love my schnitzel, sauerbraten, spätzle and such. And yet, it’s easier to find Ethiopian fare - which I also love - in Utah than to find German cuisine. To my knowledge, the only German eateries here are Rimmels in Orem, which specializes in döners, Das Cafe in Spring City, and Siegfried’s Delicatessen in SLC. So I was thrilled … [Read more...]
