I really love Greek-style pork souvlaki and this recipe is a great one for summer grilling. I suggest serving the souvlaki on pita bread with store bought tzatziki sauce or your favorite hot sauce. I confess to eating my souvlaki with Tabasco sauce. Ingredients: 1 ½ lbs. boneless pork loin or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice ¼ cup olive … [Read more...]

It’s a great concept, especially during a pandemic when bars are closed. Each Bartender’s Box is delivered to your door (pickup is also available with a 10% … [Read more...]
Tales of Takeout – Takeout Tryout #9 HSL
The mission to explore takeout dining during Utah’s COVID-19 restaurant closures and reopenings continues. This week, my wife and I enjoyed takeout dishes from one of SLC’s finest restaurants: HSL.

RoHa Brewing TSR Brew

Well, you might not be able to enjoy live music at The State Room right now, but you can, as they say, “enjoy SOME of The State Room Presents and help us tread water for the foreseeable future.” And, it will taste really great helping out a beloved local … [Read more...]
GET OUT! Delectable Outdoor Dining Destinations
I heard a molecular biologist this week say that we are around 20 times more likely to contract COVID 19 while indoors as opposed to outside. If that is true, then it makes sense that we should be leaning toward eating outdoors as much as possible these days. Fortunately, many of our best local restaurants offer outdoor dining options and there are plenty of decks, patios, … [Read more...]
Classic Caprese Salad
One of the simplest summertime dishes I can think of is also one of the most delicious: Caprese salad, which originated on Capri in the Italian region of Campania. The red, green and white colors of a classic Caprese salad represent the colors of the Italian flag. And, unlike in this country, no self-respecting Italian would even THINK about putting balsamic vinegar on a … [Read more...]
Grandeur Peak Spiked Sparkling Water
To be honest, I’ve been a bit nonplussed by the “spiked” low-alcohol sparkling water trend of the past year or so. That is, until recently when I tasted Grandeur Peak Spiked Sparkling Water, which is produced and distributed by Utah’s own Squatters Craft Brewery. Specifically, I enjoyed Grandeur Peak’s Utah Cherry flavor. There’s also a Ruby Red Grapefruit offering from … [Read more...]
