Molise 2.0: New Digs for Venerable Caffe Molise

October 12, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

In the Beginning … I first reviewed downtown SLC’s Caffe Molise - named for the Molise region of Italy - back in 1994. Shelley DeProto opened the restaurant that year and it was a modest affair. The dining room was festooned with white plastic patio furniture and the menu was limited. The food, however, was excellent and I still remember how much I enjoyed Shelley’s aio e oio … [Read more...]

Park City Chefs Headed to NYC: Utah Restaurants Showcased at Historic James Beard House

September 14, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

The Dean of American Cookery For those who might not know of James Beard, he was a larger-than-life force of nature. Named the “Dean of American Cookery” by the New York Times in 1954, he was a chef and gourmand who laid the groundwork for much of the cuisine American chefs create today, as well as for the way that we eat. In 1955, Beard established the James Beard Cooking … [Read more...]

Do You Know Jack? Logan is Home to Jack’s Wood-Fired Oven

September 7, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Will Travel for Pizza It is no secret that I will travel far and wide for great pizza. I’ve eaten amazing Neapolitan pizza in Italy, pizza topped with hard-boiled egg and linguiça in Brazil, pizzaladière in Provence, and many, many more pizzas in many, many more places. And so, it’s not really that much of a stretch for me to travel to a town like Logan for good pizza. No, … [Read more...]

State of the Union: Southwestern Sizzle at Tortilla Union

August 23, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Spirit of the Southwest I can’t really say that I’m too fond of shopping centers like City Creek in SLC or Farmington’s fairly new Station Park. The commercialism of those places is smothering to me. However, I decided recently after shopping at Harmons in Station Park to bite the bullet and check out a new restaurant there. I’m glad I did. Farmington is the second location … [Read more...]

Rockin’ Ramen: Jinya’s Japanese Roots

July 19, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Made in Japan I tend to shy away from writing about franchise and chain eateries, choosing normally to highlight independently-owned, truly local businesses. But now and then I come across a chain restaurant that doesn’t look or feel chain-like, and that is simply too good to ignore. Such is the case with Jinya Ramen Bar. There are currently 27 Jinya locations in the U.S. … [Read more...]

Michael Richey’s Fireside on Regent is Hot In the past couples months, Viet Pham’s new Pretty Bird eatery has been garnering most of the foodie press in town, and deservedly so. However, there’s another excellent dining spot on Regent Street in downtown SLC - the one that owner/chef Michael Richey opened in winter of 2017, called Fireside on Regent.

A Cheesesteak State of Mind: Two Under-the-Radar Cheesesteak Emporiums

May 11, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Since my son lives in southern New Jersey, just a stone’s throw from Philadelphia, I spend a good deal of time in and around the City of Brotherly Love. And because I do, I eat a lot of cheesesteaks - Philly's best-known food product. I always indulge in at least one when I’m there, even if it’s just to grab a cheesesteak at Pat’s on the way to the airport. I’ve tried all … [Read more...]

Two Moms, One Kitchen: Authentic Chinese Cuisine from Mom’s Kitchen Salt Lake City

April 6, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

One sure-fire way to find great Asian cooking is to go to the places where Asians eat. Such is the case with Mom’s Kitchen, an unassuming little restaurant dishing up the bold, authentic flavors of China. Mom’s Kitchen is thusly named for the two moms who run the place: Mama Chen and Mama Zhang, who hail from Taiwan and Beijing, respectively. The cuisine at Mom’s Kitchen … [Read more...]
