Local Flavors: Utah Fab Farm to Fork Regional Restaurants

July 14, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  The term “farm to table” has, in recent years, been replaced in some culinary circles by the more alliterative “farm to fork.” They both imply the same thing: cooking, and restaurant cooking in particular, that favors locally sourced, wholesome, organic and artisan (when possible) ingredients. The idea is that foods that are local are fresher and make, in theory … [Read more...]

Among the restaurants that Tasting America host Gary Takle and I visited was Table X, a unique SLC eatery that I’ve been rooting for ever since it opened. The dining room is sleek and modern, yet retains the rustic … [Read more...]

Burgers and Art: M.C. Escher and Block Restaurant

March 9, 2018 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

M.C. Escher Exhibition: Maybe it’s a too-well kept secret, or perhaps I’ve just been languishing in the dark… But I was stunned to learn recently about an exhibition of M.C. Escher artwork that’s been running at the BYU Museum of Art since November, and continues through May 19th. The Dutch-born Escher was one of my favorite artists, so I was thrilled to learn of the … [Read more...]

Welcome to Utelandia –Utah Stories Annual Dining Guide

September 4, 2017 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

In our annual, Utah food renaissance issue, we are examining the food scene in terms of the farmers who grow food alongside the chefs who dice, chop, julienne, saute, fry, roast, grill, and plate it to perfection. There is good news in food: fat is the new black, and is now healthy! But besides that, we are beginning to see a picture emerge of a trend that could be a sea change … [Read more...]

Omnivore’s Dilemma: Liberal Propaganda?

January 13, 2015 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The book Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan, has been recommended to me about 15 times by various people, mostly from the farmers market. I write about food, farmers and ingredients and especially the farm to table movement, but the reason I didn't read this book sooner is that this book's title makes its content sound like liberal propaganda. I don't read books that … [Read more...]
