First things first. I want to sincerely thank the generous sponsors of Utah Bites and Utah Stories advertisers for their continued support during this very unstable time. We are extremely grateful. There would be no Utah Bites without sponsors; they are vital to its survival. Please support our sponsors now and in the future. We wouldn’t be here without them. As I wrote … [Read more...]
Penne with White Sausage Sauce
Here is a quick and easy comfort food pasta dish which I modified a little from the original New York Times recipe by Mark Bittman. Here, pasta is coated in a sauce that’s much lighter than most tomato-based sausage sauces. I make this dish using hot Italian sausage but it’s also very good with turkey sausage. Ingredients: 1 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 large … [Read more...]
Don’t Curb Your Enthusiasm: Delicious Delivery & Curbside Utah Restaurants Dishes
With restaurants closed for in-house dining all over our state in an attempt to help curb COVID-19, I’ve been impressed … no, AMAZED at how rapidly so many restaurants have re-engineered their operations to provide meals for delivery and/or curbside pickup. That’s no easy task, but especially difficult for fine dining establishments. For restaurants such as … [Read more...]
Saving MacCool’s: Beloved Irish Fave Rescued from Abyss
The first time I wrote about MacCool’s Public House I said, “Some restaurants, upon opening, come on stronger than George W. Bush’s effort to master English.” An indication of how long I’ve been following this place. I was referring to the decidedly non-bombastic, low key approach of owner Mick Warner and Scott Schlisman when they opened the original MacCool’s in Foothill … [Read more...]
Snowbasin Cuisine Refreshed, A Tasty Makeover of Earl’s Lodge Dining & Much More

And one of the best venues to do that - particularly if you’re a foodie - is at Snowbasin Resort.

Pork Loin Roast with Apple-Mustard Glaze
This simple pork roast is a big hit for a weeknight supper at our house. It couldn’t be easier to make and the result is delicious. I use boneless pork loin roast here but you could also use a boneless pork tenderloin. If you do that, just cut back on the cooking time. Ingredients: 1 2-3 lb. boneless pork loin roast Kosher salt the freshly ground black pepper 1 ½ … [Read more...]
Laissez Les Bons Temps : A Taste of Mardi Gras at Stanza
Stanza restaurant is normally known for its fine Italian fare. After all, the complete name of the eatery is Stanza Italian Bistro & Wine Bar. But this week, Stanza was transformed - at least in spirit - into a New Orleans eatery. The occasion was Mardi Gras, and Stanza Executive Chef Jonathan LeBlanc has Southern roots and a deep knowledge of Creole and Cajun … [Read more...]
Skewered! With Nohm Serious Yakitori Lands in SLC
Last spring during a visit to New York City, my wife and I enjoyed a superb meal in America’s only Michelin-starred yakitori restaurant, called Torishin. And since that time I’ve been tugging on the shirtsleeves of every restaurateur and chef I know, encouraging someone to open a yakitori eatery here in the Beehive State. Yakitori is an up and coming food trend … [Read more...]
Love is in the Air: A Visit to Osteria Amore
Yes, love is in the air this week. But this is not another article about where to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I covered that in last week’s Utah Bites. Rather, this week I’m turning to a new restaurant that I’m really loving: Osteria Amore. In Italy, an osteria was traditionally an eatery serving simple, uncomplicated food and wine. Think of it as an Italian version of a … [Read more...]
Where to Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Utah
If there is a more popular day/night for dining out than Valentine’s Day, I don’t know about it. I’ve received dozens of blurbs, press releases, emails and texts from local restaurants pitching their V-Day “specials” to me. Too often, Valentine’s Day dinners are, frankly, overpriced affairs that usually feature overcooked lobster tails and cheap bubbly. However, after sifting … [Read more...]
