Vessel Kitchen I have to say that the concept and the mission of Vessel Kitchen - a portion of which is hung on a wall of the restaurant - appeals to me. Among other things, the folks behind Vessel Kitchen say they’re committed to sourcing produce and such from “growers and partners we know and trust". Sounds good to me. These partners include Strong Vertical Gardens in Heber, … [Read more...]
Scheff’s Table—Fettuccine Alfredo
Is there anyone who doesn’t like fettuccine Alfredo? I doubt it. It’s a wonderfully satisfying (if decadent) dish and one of my favorite comfort foods. Fettuccine Alfredo is really simple to make. The key is to use only the very best ingredients: high-quality pasta, real Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and good butter. Don’t even think about using pre-shredded parmesan or that … [Read more...]

Sip o’ the Week: The Takashi Martini
The Takashi Martini During a visit this week to Takashi restaurant for their world-class sushi, I enjoyed a remarkably tasty house cocktail called The Takashi Martini. It was a perfect accompaniment to one of music-lover Takashi Gibo’s cleverly-named Mr. Blue Sky roll.

In The Bag—Getting Messy at Hook & Reel
Photos by Ted Scheffler. Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar For many years, my late, generous friend Gus Magann and his brother Tony would host a Louisiana-style crawfish boil when the weather turned warm. It was a raucous, messy affair with crawfish, potatoes, boudin, artichokes, and corn cooking away in multiple giant-size pots, to be poured out onto newspaper-clad … [Read more...]
Scheff’s Table – Chicken al Carbon
Now that the outdoor temperatures are dropping and fall is here, I’m trying to get in as much grilling as possible before I have to shovel a path through the snow to get to my grill. Here’s a very tasty Mexican-style grilled chicken recipe called Pollo al Carbon.

Gone, But Not Forgotten – The Many Meals I Miss
Former Utah Restaurants In the quarter-century that I’ve been writing about Utah’s food and drink scene, I’ve seen far too many restaurants come and go. And there are plenty I miss. A jaunt down memory lane conjures up a multitude of meals and people I wish I could break bread with one more time. Salt Lake City I miss the late John Williams and Tom Sieg, and I miss … [Read more...]
Dinner in Daybreak—A Trip to Porch Restaurant
I was saddened to learn that one of Salt Lake City’s most consistent, high-quality restaurants will be permanently closing following dinner service this Saturday, September 28th. I am speaking of Meditrina, the eatery that introduced many diners in our community to tapas and small plates-style cuisine. That’s the bad news.
