Moab’s Red Cliffs Lodge Owner Colin Fryer

May 19, 2014 by Richard Markosian 3 Comments

A Man With A Plan Colin Fryer owns a ranch off Highway 128 in Moab, Utah. When you drive past just one word comes to mind, “Wow.” Red Cliffs Lodge rests on the bank of the Colorado River. In the summer horses graze on green grass. The cabins are built following the bend in the river. It’s just one of two lodges near Canyonlands National Park. So how did he acquire and … [Read more...]

Alamexo: A Downtown Treat

March 13, 2014 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Benjamin Franklin said, “Do not live to eat, eat to live.” However, it is hard to stick to this rule after a very hard week when enjoying our weekend encompasses great food and delicious drinks. We decided to try a new place this time, Alamexo, that opened last November. Alamexo  rose from the former Zy’s in only four days. “We kept our same local sourcing of ingredients and … [Read more...]

Cedars of Lebanon Shines With Time-Tested Favorites

February 4, 2014 by Mike Jones Leave a Comment

When I lived in Los Angeles and was eating out, I could never reach the level of culinary satisfaction that I had when I was in Utah. One of the places that I missed the most was Cedars of Lebanon. Cedars has a long history in Salt Lake. Opening in the fall of 1981, it was not only the first Middle Eastern restaurant in Salt Lake but one of the first to offer vegetarian … [Read more...]

The Dunkin’ Donut Effect

November 7, 2013 by Andrew Wankier Leave a Comment

Has the emergence of the most popular donut maker in the world hurt our local donut bakers? Americans eat over 10 billion donuts a year. That averages out to be about 35 donuts per person. This multi-billion dollar boom is no stranger to Utahns. As of June 2013, world-famous donut makers Dunkin’ Donuts opened its very first store in downtown Salt Lake City. Over the next five … [Read more...]

The Rose Establishment

October 14, 2013 by Ed Kosmicki Leave a Comment

When Erica O’Brien opened The Rose Establishment in 2010 she deliberately chose not to provide free internet with her coffees and teas. “We wanted to create a social atmosphere to encourage interaction and be more disconnected from the electronic world.” This retro idea resides within a former meat packinghouse that was painstakingly restored by O’Brien and her father. Even … [Read more...]

Del Mar al Lago

October 14, 2013 by Utah Stories Leave a Comment

Del Mar al Lago is a restaurant that is a favorite amongst local chefs, and once you visit, it will be a favorite of yours as well. Meat is on the menu, but fish has the starring role. For starters, the house salad, with either spinach or romaine, guanabana-infused creamy dressing, and a handful of perfectly fried squid is almost a meal in itself. The Choritos Rellenos de … [Read more...]

School Lunch! Making yummy meals for kids.

September 10, 2013 by Al Sacharov Leave a Comment

Yummy School lunches that are healthy and good to eat! Let’s do lunch...at a Provo School District cafeteria! Whereas many school cafeterias are still mired in tater tots, Provo has created culinary concoctions that include rosemary chicken with sauteed mushrooms, roasted herb turkey, rice pilaf and watermelon popsicles. “We wanted to serve fresh, homemade meals and we just … [Read more...]

Castle Creek Winery and Wine Making in Utah

September 10, 2013 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

"Move Over Napa Valley!" recalls lifelong Moab resident Arlis Roberts. “You couldn’t believe the excitement.” It was the early 1980s and the first four years of the Four-Corners Agricultural Development Agency of Moab. Vineyards sprouted up all over Grand County. The agency hoped to soften the blow of the uranium mill closure on the 1,500-resident town. Ken and Arlis Roberts … [Read more...]

Why the World Comes to Moab

September 10, 2013 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

If you are a lizard, who likes anything outdoors, this is the place for you. “A conflict in vision” is how you would describe most Utah small and medium-sized towns. Visions of Mormon temples and chain stores conflict with visions of a great nightlife and local art scene. They don’t have this problem in Moab. Nature constructed the Fisher Towers a zillion or so years ago. The … [Read more...]

Utah’s Food Renaissance

September 6, 2013 by Richard Markosian 1 Comment

Concrete now replaces what once was farmland. In the name of progress, the apple orchards of Lehi are now buried under asphalt. The only weeds that grow here are big box stores. They pop up quickly. They grow, they spread. Like weeds, they grow despite most people wishing they weren’t there. People wish that Jack’s fresh apple stand was still here, but Jack’s apples were too … [Read more...]
