Let me preface the following by stating: yes I am indeed one of those air fryer lunatics, and no, no you won’t hear the end of it. Turn off now if you’re of the belief that these modern miracles are nothing more than convection ovens. For the rest of you still with me, let’s eat; … Read more
If the archetypal hamburger is a Summer staple – a lamb burger is surely its Wintery cousin. While the former basks in the sun poolside, its gamey opposite is scowling on in brooding disapproval, reading Camus and drinking vermouth. Probably. Which is an overly verbose way of saying, a great lamb burger packs in oodles … Read more
If your social feeds resemble mine, you’ve no doubt seen the words chili crisp emblazoned everywhere. You’ve also no doubt been spookily trailed around the web with dazzling ads promising fame, fortune and flavor unparalleled. I’m guessing you’ve also reeled at the cost too. $15? $20!?

Let me clear some space in the room before we proceed. If the merest suggestion of tabasco has you wincing, this one isn’t for you. Move along please, there’s nothing to see here. On the other hand, if your eyes widen at scovilles, your heartbeat flutters over habaneros, let me remind you that Utah is … Read more

One of my favorite times of the year is almost upon us. This Friday (August 20th) kicks off Harmons’ annual Hatch Chile Roast. A fierce fiesta of flavor and fire, and overly giddy alliteration too.

February. Arguably the most miserable of months. Hot on the heels of the penitence of January and months away from the luxuriantly warmer Spring and Summer. February. But wait!
