Anyone who’s escaped downtown via 5th South has no doubt glanced left towards soaring construction. The $200 million dollar Post District has been rising for several years, and as 2022 closes, it’s finally coming into focus. By this time next year as many as 500 residents could be milling around the 13 acre site, a … Read more
It’s rare I’ll move this quickly on reporting on a restaurant, but frankly there’s a volcanic level of pent up interest for info on this one. I’ve fielded a whole host of queries from eager beavers, so here’s a few shots I took last night. You’ll want to wrap your peepers around them aprisa. For … Read more
One mark of the change in food culture during this most recent, nearing-the-end (we hope? maybe? soon??) stage of the pandemic is that diners are opting more often for the kinds of experiences that were hardest to replicate at home. I’m talking about beautifully-plated and more expensive meals, in courses brought out slowly, eaten in … Read more
I’ve been holding off highlighting this most recent addition to downtown SLC, as until now the business has been slowly ramping up their operating hours. This week however sees this brand new spot debuting their lunch service and finally hitting full stride; this seemed like a timely moment to go over the basics of this … Read more
First a little about me…I love sausages, I am in love with sausages. I grew up in a butchers shop surrounded by ropes of the things. One time on holiday in the UK, I ordered myself a shipment of of sausages, a 12lb batch of artisan sausages…for a five day stay. My love of sausages … Read more

All you can eat. It’s a phrase that often sends a shudder down my snobbish-spine; quantity almost universally laying waste to quality. There’s always an exception to the rule though and I’m happy to report Mr Shabu, one of The Gateway’s newest restaurants, is just that. Mr Shabu is the work of first time restaurateur … Read more
Carnegie’s Public House – I could no doubt write a sassy, epic diatribe about the conveyor belt of failure that has beset this Peery Hotel space in recent years. But I won’t. I am above that kind of thing. Well, o.k. I’m not, but I feel as though it’s shooting fish in a tin can … Read more
To the best of my knowledge, Porch might be the farthest South and West you can go in the SL valley – and still get a decent mixed drink. After that, well, you might as well just channel your inner Hunter S. and keep motoring to Vegas. Porch is the brainchild of Jen Gilroy, chef … Read more
With the ski season practically upon us, diner’s hungry from a day on the slopes might want to look a little further afield than Park City’s well trodden main street. Certainly, if my recent meal at Escala Provisions Company was anything to go by, it’s worth the dining excursion. This newest addition to the Hyatt … Read more
Truth be told, its been some time since my last visit to Frida Bistro. Perhaps too long. On that last visit, an evening affair with friends, the meal presented something of a mixed bag. A few dishes hit their marks while others fizzled. Despite that lacklustre memory, I’ve always been an admirer of Frida Bistro, … Read more
