MEXICAN MAINSTAY: Nearly 40 Years of Killer Mexican Food at Red Iguana

May 12, 2023 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Is there a Utah restaurant more beloved, with more of a loyal customer base than Red Iguana? I don’t think so. It’s unusual for there not to be people lined up waiting for tables at the Red Iguana on W. North Temple at all times of the day and night. I know people visiting from out of town who always make Red Iguana the first stop on their way in from the SLC Airport, including … [Read more...]

Ramsay, Keller, Waters. More often than not, it’s a solitary name on a restaurant’s menu that draws the crowds. It’s easy to see why, in this industry, a singularly executed vision goes a long way toward a seal of excellence. There are always exceptions to the rule of course, and sometimes two heads are better than one. Here are two of my favorite restaurants in Utah—where … [Read more...]

Moroccan-Style Chicken Tagine

August 30, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

It’s a cooking vessel that’s used all over North Africa and is especially useful for dishes—also called tajines—like this one. If you don’t have a tagine just substitute a large skillet with a lid. Tagine … [Read more...]
