What’s New in Salt Lake: March into Utah Foodie Scene Madness!

It’s no secret that Utah is growing. As the third-fastest growing state in the nation, more people are calling the Beehive State home — living, working and consuming here. And that requires an impressive ability to meet not only housing and employment demands, but a wide variety of taste buds.

As a new generation of homebuyers flock to Utah’s booming capital city, Salt Lake’s foodie and nightlife scene is turning things up a notch and dressing to impress. Named recently as one of the Top 10 Foodie Cities in the US, Salt Lake is securing its place as one of the culinary hotspots of the West. With more than a dozen artisanal coffee roasters, close to 20 local breweries and a bold restaurant scene that is serving up cutting edge fare, Salt Lake has a surprisingly diverse dining repertoire.

Salt Lake’s culinary and nightlife scene just got even more appealing with five new openings, ranging from casual cafes and pub fare to experimental dining experiences that are perfect for après ski, before a show at the Eccles Center or after a Jazz game. The only problem: how to decide!                      

White Horse Spirits & Kitchen

White Horse, a modern American Brasserie located in the heart of downtown, serves everything from bar snacks to shared plates, fresh oysters to sandwiches and steaks. They are also home to Utah’s largest Apertif and Digestif menu which pairs well with over 30 Ciders from all over the world. Open 7 days a week, 11 am – 1 am.

Lake Effect

Lake Effect is a destination bar located close to the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake. The ‘latest purveyor’ of craft cocktails and fine dining, small plates, tapas, burgers and sandwiches are the stars on this casual menu. Stop in for live blues music on Move and Groove Mondays or sign up for a pairing class on Tasting Tuesdays — or just stop in to grub any day of the week! Open everyday, 11 am – 1 am.

Fisher Brewing Company

Founded in Salt Lake City in 1884, the long-defunct Fisher Brewing Company has been brought back to life as an employee-owned craft brewery. Located in the Granary District of Salt Lake City, they offer a selection of ales and lagers (including a new IPA) on draft in their brewery taproom. As far as the food? Every day, a different food truck bellies up to the brewery. For a list of the visiting truck of the day, visit here.

Seasons

Vegans now have a classy hangout in Salt Lake at Seasons, which serves “classically inspired gourmet plant-based comfort food.” French and Italian are the mainstay using local, regional, organic, and non-gmo sourced foods. They offer a small beer and wine selection as well as hand-crafted desserts. Located near Smith’s ballpark, Season is open Tuesday-Saturday, 4 pm – 10 pm.

Table-X

This space south of Sugar House is a historic barrel-roofed warehouse that once served as a cheese factory. Chefs Mike Blocher, Nick Fahs and David Barboza create artful but casual fare, focused on local meats and produce from the restaurant’s own garden that aligns with the changing seasons. They also offer a 5-course tasting menu with optional wine pairing. Open Wednesday-Sunday, 5 pm – 10 pm.

The Rest  

The Rest is a subterranean speakeasy beneath Bodega, filled with taxidermy, antiques and the inventive cooking of Chef Brendan Cagle. Offerings include honey-glazed beer-can chicken, fried brioche doughnuts and a unique version of poutine. Its upstairs companion (Bodega) offers small plates and vintage cocktails. Located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake, The Rest is open Tuesday-Saturday, 5 pm – 1 am.

Hey there, future homeowner! So, you're diving into the wild world of real estate, huh? Exciting times ahead! 🏡 But hold up – before you pop the champagne, let's talk about something crucial: choosing your title company. Now, who gets to decide on this? Spoiler alert: it's you!

Oh, and don't be shy – ask questions! Seriously, grill them like you're on a first date. How long have they been in the game? What's their process like?

Your home sweet home is a big deal, so choose a title company that feels like the perfect fit. Trust me, it'll make all the difference when it's time to pop those keys in the door!

February Giveback- For The Kids

By Stephanie Cline • 29 Feb, 2024
February is not just about Valentine's Day chocolates and romantic gestures; it's also about spreading love and kindness to those who need it most. And boy, did we have an amazing time doing just that with our February Giveback! This month, we teamed up with the incredible For The Kids nonprofit to make a difference in the lives of children in our community. And let us tell you, it was a heartwarming experience from start to finish. First things first, our team rolled up their sleeves and dove straight into action. We spent a day volunteering, packing a whopping 100 meals to be delivered to those in need. The joy of knowing that these meals would bring smiles to the faces of children warmed our hearts in ways we can't even describe. But we didn't stop there! Oh no, we were just getting started. With our sleeves still rolled up and our spirits soaring, our very own Joe packed the truck with all those delicious deliveries for that Friday. The excitement was palpable as we imagined the happiness these meals would bring to families across our community. And guess what? Our amazing supporters rallied behind us in full force! Through their generosity, we collected over 100 additional items to donate to For The Kids. From canned goods to pantry staples, every single donation meant the world to us and to those we're helping. As we reflect on our February Giveback journey, we can't help but feel overwhelmingly grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. Grateful for the support of our community. And most of all, grateful for the chance to spread love in every way we can. It's worth mentioning that our dedication to For The Kids goes way back – we supported their mission back in 2021, and we're committed to continuing this beautiful partnership for years to come. To everyone who volunteered, donated, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines – thank you. Thank you for believing in the power of kindness. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey. Together, we're making the world a brighter, happier place, one meal and one smile at a time.
