Even Stevens Sandwiches – Tomorrow (Saturday, 15th) sees the 42nd stop on the BLgT 50 state country wide tour. So what exactly is BLgT? The formula is rather simple: BLT + LGBT = BLgT. Even simpler: bacon for equality.
For the Summer of 2015, chefs across America are creating their own twist on the classic BLT sandwich to support LGBT equality. When you buy a BLgT, proceeds go towards a local LGBT community center all summer long. In Utah, Even Stevens has partnered with the BLgT team and proceeds from Saturday’s even will be going towards Equality Utah.
You can check out the details for the local event at the downtown Even Stevens here; it runs 3-5 p.m. there will be a cash bar, and lots and lot of bacon for equality.

BTG Wine Bar – Next Tuesday, August 18th, head to SLC’s best wine bar and check out the fabulous wines of Soter Vineyards. Wine maker James Cahill will be the evenings host along with BTG wine maestro Louis Koppel. Four exemplary wines will be paired with three courses from BTG’s new kitchen.
The price for the event is a miserly $26 for food and $30 for wine; hint, that’s a bargain folks. The menu is as follows:
* Soter Mineral Springs Ranch 2010 Brut Rosé: hand riddled by James and his team
* Planet Oregon, 2014 Chardonnay: a just released project, certified and sustainable
* Polenta muffin topped with grilled shrimp & orange salad
* North Valley, 2012 Pinot Noir: an artisan blend from the sub-appellations of Willamette Valley
* Feijoada: black bean purée with rice ball topped with crispy pork belly
* Soter, Mineral Springs “White Label” 2009 Pinot Noir: the crown jewel of the property – enchanting

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
