During a recent visit for dinner to the all-new Arlo restaurant (see this week’s Utah Bites restaurant review), my wife and I shared a bottle of The Eyrie Vineyards 2017 Oregon Pinot Blanc ($14.95/Utah retail price). Simply put, this is a wonderful wine and a steal for 15 bucks. For many years I’ve been a big fan of Oregon’s Eyrie Vineyards wine and their philosophy of … [Read more...]
Grilled Flat Iron Steak with Pesto Butter
If, like me, you have a lot of end-of-summer basil in the garden, here is a tasty way to use some of it. I like to make pesto butter to top grilled flat iron steak with. First you make a basic basil pesto, then add butter and finish with olive oil. There’s no cooking required for the pesto butter and it freezes well if you have leftovers. Ingredients: 1 cup basil 1/4 … [Read more...]
Bombay to Bollywood – A Visit to Riverdale’s Bombay Bites
Given that India was a British colony until 1947, Brits tend to know their Indian cuisine pretty well. And so, when someone from the U.K. says that Bombay Bites in Riverdale serves the best Indian food they’ve had since they left Britain, I listen. Although it’s been open for eight years, I wasn’t familiar with Bombay Bites, located in a Riverdale strip mall (which … [Read more...]

Pascal Jolivet Attitude Sauvignon Blanc
I have always found Pascal Jolivet wines from France to be exceptionally good values. And that’s certainly the case with the wine I’m featuring this week: Pascal Jolivet Attitude Sauvignon Blanc 2018 ($17.49). The Jolivet family have been players in the wine world since 1926, when Louis Jolivet and his son, Lucien, established the Jolivet and Son wine merchant company. The … [Read more...]
Kitchen Comforts – Carson Kitchen Rocks into SLC
You have to admit, it takes cojones grandes to open a new restaurant in the midst of a pandemic. But that’s precisely what Chef and President Cory Harwell did when he unlocked the doors to his brand spankin’ new Carson Kitchen in downtown SLC a couple weeks ago. It wasn’t exactly the plan he had in mind. But COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into pretty much everyone’s best laid … [Read more...]

A Lovely French Rosé: Pierre Riffault Les & Hommes Rosé
During a visit to Hearth and Hill restaurant in Park City my wife and I enjoyed a lovely bottle of French Rosé from their wine list. It was called Pierre Riffault Sancerre Les 7 Hommes ($26.47). While most of us are familiar with the white wines of France’s Sancerre region in the center of France, I’d never had Rosé from there and was eager to try it out. I wasn’t … [Read more...]
