CONTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT ANGELA HOWARD: PHOTOGRAPHER

Salt Lake City-based photographer Angela Howard is part of Pepper Nix’s award-winning wedding photojournalist team. Howard took the lead on many photo shoots in this issue, and we are excited to learn more about her photography and love of food.

What’s more unpredictable? Food or weddings? I definitely would say weddings are. For weddings, it is happening that day, no repeats, no do-overs. I have to make sure I tell their story, whether or not there is a torrential rainstorm (which happens), or the power goes out for half of the reception (which has also happened), or even that the ring bearer lost one of the rings in a vineyard (which yes, has happened, but only once). That being said, food definitely has its own challenges. I can’t take too long composing my shot because I could be letting the soup create a skin or a salad wilt or a dessert melt. Many dishes need to be photographed as quickly as possible to ensure they look their very best. What do you like about food photography? Honestly, I LOVE food — times, like, a million. So for me, food photography is a passion project where I get to capture the artistry and beauty I see in food and indulge the fascination I have with food of any kind, whether it be something totally new or a different take on a classic. Plus, I love creating photos that show off the dishes in a way that highlights the chef’s attention to detail, skill and creativity. We spent a lot of time with pizza on this issue. What’s your favorite pizza and toppings? I am a pizza non-traditionalist. I definitely appreciate a really amazing margherita, but one of my favorites is a summery pizza with thinly sliced lemons, olive oil and basil (so good!) and another favorite is more of a hearty pizza with a garlic and olive oil base, Yukon potatoes, a little bit of bacon, caramelized onion and a pesto garnish. What are your favorite dining options in Park City? There are so many. But I generally lean to more casual eateries, so my go-tos at the moment are Wasatch Brew Pub (I love trying their seasonal brews — the Plum Wit is my favorite) or High West, but if I’m looking for a high-end dining experience, I love Riverhorse on Main. What is your go-to summer cocktail? A High West lemonade or a really tart margarita on the rocks.

ll of us have heard it and many of us have probably even said it: We came to Park City for the winter and stayed for the summer. While winter has its obvious appeal, the summer still feels a bit like a local secret. From the endless hiking and biking to the two-for-one deals and abundant free entertainment — summer here is the Beehive State’s knees. This summer I’m on a mission. Well, many different missions. I want to be well-fed after a long day of hiking. I want to pack an epic picnic basket worthy of envy from my blanket neighbors. I want to go on new adventures. I want to enjoy long days and even longer meals. I want to toast the sunset and create memories. I want to know what’s in season, every season. So, with this issue, I hope that you will use the stories included to help guide you, too, to some of those aspirations. Also, on a very personal note, this summer I get to bring my closest friends, family and soonto-be family to experience everything I love about Park City and, especially, the summer. While the main event may be our wedding, the real experience I’m hoping to showcase is Park City in its finest. I know that our town will not disappoint, but to our family and friends reading this in your hotel room — welcome, and I can’t wait to show you what Park City is dishing up! Cheers!

a lesson in: doughnuts Park City Mountain’s Cloud Dine is open only in the winter, so the chef shared his high-altitude doughnut recipe to make these treats in the summer at home.

PHOTOS BY ANGEL A HOWARD

By Allison Arthur

L

Like many good ideas, this one was hatched over après-ski drinks. Some of the kitchen staff from Park City’s Cloud Dine were decompressing after work one day and the idea just came to them, says the restaurant’s executive chef, Greg Hansen. “I think we saw doughnuts on a TV at the bar,” he recalls. “The next day we made doughnuts.” Located at the top of Dream Peak at 9,270 feet, Cloud Dine is a ski-in, ski-out restaurant that offers higher-end, made-to-order cafeteriastyle dining options, open for skiers during the winter. Given that Dream Peak is the highest-elevated restaurant in Park City, the chef had to do some experimenting to get the recipe just right. Hansen says he started with a recipe he found online that supposedly came from a disgruntled Krispy Kreme employee. Within three or four days of tweaking the recipe, he had a version he was happy with, that worked at elevation and that they use now to make three to four dozen doughnuts every winter morning. Even though Cloud Dine doesn’t officially advertise doughnuts on the listed daily menu, the kitchen crew makes them for those in the know. The doughnuts — which range in flavors on the whim of chefs and include crazy offerings such as sour melon, Boston cream pie, and peanut butter and jelly — always sell out before noon. If your timing is just right, you may be handed a pipinghot doughnut hole while you wait in line to order. Hansen says the daily doughnuts are so popular among the ski patrol staff, they often have the patrollers waiting on the first batch to come off the line. “We try not to let them buy them all,” he says. “People find out about the doughnuts by word-of-mouth. It’s our little secret. If you get up by noon you can usually get a doughnut.” 24 | DISHINGPC.COM

CLOUD DINE’S CHEF GREG HANSEN CAME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR MAKING “ELEVATED” DOUGHNUTS OVER APRÈS-SKI DRINKS.

&

CLOUD DINE DOUGHNUT RECIPE 1 cup hot water 1 1/2 ounces dry active yeast 6 cups all-purpose flour 6 large eggs 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 1/3 tablespoons salt 1 cup shortening 4 1/2 cups scalded milk* 9 cups of flour

*To make the scalded milk, brin g milk to a boil then remove from stove and cool

•

In a small bowl add 1 cup of hot tap water (between 105 to 115 F) and the yeast. Stir together with a whisk or fork and let sit for a few minutes to activate. Add to the bowl of a mixer with a paddle attachment along with the rest of the ingredients. Mix on high until the ingredients have mostly combined. Remove the paddle and replace it with the dough hook. Add the flour and mix on low until all ingredients are combined (the dough should either lie flat in the bowl or climb the hook when ingredients have fully combined). Remove dough from mixing bowl and place it in a large bowl or container that has been greased and floured. Wrap with plastic and set aside in a warm place to proof until dough has doubled in size (anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours). After dough has proofed, dust a tabletop with flour. Turn bowl with dough upside down on top of floured tabletop. With a large rolling pin, gently roll out dough to about a 1/2 inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter, starting at the edge, cut out rounds side by side to get as many as you can. Next, using a small round cutter, cut holes in the center of each round. Remove holes and save. Spray and flour proof boxes or sheet pans and place doughnuts on pans with 2 inches of space between them. Cover and let proof at room temperature until doughnuts have close to doubled, or overnight in the refrigerator. Heat your fryer to 325 F. Using a spatula, place doughnuts in canola oil one at a time, flipping when light gold in color. Remove from oil and place on wire rack. While doughnuts are still warm, using your hands, gently dip the top surface area in warm glaze and place back on rack.

It’s OK if there are small chunks of shortening remaining

MOUNTAIN MODERN KITCHEN PHOTOS BY ANGEL A HOWARD

A PARK CITY FAMILY RENOVATES AN OLD LOG CABIN KITCHEN INTO A CONTEMPORARY FOCAL POINT.

When Jolie and Pete Iacobelli renovated their old log-cabinstyle home in 2014, they knew they wanted the kitchen to act as the focal point of the home. They had a list of requirements that included tons of storage and prep space, all while maintaining clean lines. The construction transformed 28 | DISHINGPC.COM

a small galley kitchen into a large open space that is visible from most points of the home. Using a space that formerly housed a deck, they enhanced their 6,000-square-foot home through the renovation. “The kitchen is just such a social area,” Jolie says. “I knew I wanted it to be a major focal point.” The Iacobellis worked with

architects from Jack Thomas Associates — and drew inspiration from houzz.com (a resource for home design) — to build BY CARA their “mountain contemporary” kitchen. The plans used wooden beams, sandstone countertops, and custom metal work and cabinets. One of the biggest design choices Jolie made was forgoing upper

RANK

THE IACOBELLIS’ GNOCCHI 3 pounds potatoes 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1-2 cups flour (all purpose or semolina) Peel potatoes and boil until soft. Process potatoes in food mill or ricer so there are no lumps. Combine potatoes, egg and salt. Knead mixture with your hands and begin to add the flour. The amount of flour needed is dependent on the moisture content of the potatoes. The dough should feel smooth and slightly sticky. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each piece into a long 1-inch-wide rope. Cut into 1/2inch pieces and gently roll them over the back of the fork. Cook in salted boiling water. They will float to the top when they are done, about 2-3 minutes.

cabinets. “Everyone tried to talk me out of it and said I need uppers,” she says. “Visually, I didn’t want anything.” In lieu of the upper storage, they built a large island out of walnut boards that stores many of the items that would have gone in those shelves. The island was created as a gathering place as well as an aesthetic piece: The boards run vertically rather than horizontally for a unique look. “Apparently, it’s also better for knives,” Jolie says. While the Iacobellis have a large wine 30 | DISHINGPC.COM

cellar, they also built space into the island in which they can put ice and wine bottles. This trough doubles as an eyecatching spot to serve oysters on the half shell and sashimi. A drain at the bottom allows for easy cleanup. Jolie opted to install two ovens, both by Wolf. She chose the line because “they have a great simmer,” she says. One of the ovens is red, a design choice made so that it stands out. The island hood, a Miele product, goes up and down so it doesn’t block the visual corridor. Two dishwashers allow for easy cleanup, especially after the rotation of kids who often come over hungry from playing ice hockey or for sleepovers.

Overnight guests are often treated to big plates of crepes and waffles, which are some of the Iacobellis’ morning specialties (along with large platters of nachos for afternoon or evening treats). As a family, the Iacobellis often make a homemade marinara and gnocchi recipe that Pete inherited from his Italian father. They use an enormous cutting board and rolling pin that belonged to his grandmother to roll out the dough, made with eggs from their hens who live in the backyard chicken coop. The kids happily collect them daily. “The vibe in this kitchen is family, entertaining,” Jolie says. “The space is very open, but it promotes togetherness.” DON’T BE FOOLED: “WC” DOESN’T STAND FOR “WASH CLOSET” AT THE IACOBELLIS’ HOUSE. RATHER, THIS IS A LARGE WINE CELLAR THEY BUILT NEAR THE KITCHEN.

ALFRESCO FRIED CHICKEN SAVOURY KITCHEN PREPARES AN ON-THE-FARM FEAST USING JUST-PICKED PRODUCE FOR A QUINTESSENTIALLY SUMMER DINNER.

PURVEYORS BY CARA RANK P H O T O S B Y J AY N E L - M C I N T O S H R E C I P E S A N D M E A L B Y S AV O U R Y K I T C H E N ST YLING BY SARAJANE JOHNSON SPECIAL THANKS TO DANIELLE MAFFUCCIO

CHEF JOSEPH SALADYGA is no stranger to an alfresco summertime dinner. At least a couple of times a season, he hosts whole-hog pig roasts. Those lucky enough to be invited certainly eat high on the hog. In addition to the main event, Saladyga prepares lots of sides and fixin’s, all with locally sourced, seasonal produce. When we decided to throw an alfresco dinner last summer, we knew Saladyga and his team from Savoury Kitchen were just the guys to make it happen. We wanted the chicken fried on-site. We wanted the sides made with ingredients harvested just minutes earlier. And we wanted it all to be from Park City, or very close by. “Savoury Kitchen always uses the freshest of local ingredients and the highest-quality products,” Saladyga says. “Everything was locally sourced, and we believe in knowing your producers so you can be sure there are no GMOs or preservatives in the food we are serving.” Thankfully, Copper Moose Farm provided its farm stand as the venue and an abundance of fresh ingredients for the rest of the meal. The farm’s resident beekeeper gave us all tastes of the honey. And at one point, farm manager Daisy Fair pulled carrots straight from the ground, brushed off the dirt and fed us all bites. Along with additional products from Beltex Meats, Beehive Distilling, Gold Creek and Beehive cheeses, Dishing hosted an intimate farm-stand dinner for eight. The ingredients, Saladyga says, let the food speak for itself. “When fresh and good ingredients are prepared correctly, the result is phenomenal,” he says. SALT LAKE CITY-BASED STYLIST SARAJANE JOHNSON USED ITEMS THAT WORKED WITH THE ORGANIC SETTING AT THIS FARM FEAST. PIE TINS — USED AS PLATES — ARE DISPOSABLE, LOOK GREAT AND HOLD A TON OF FOOD.

fter 21 years in the culinary industry, Joseph Saladyga launched Savoury Kitchen in 2009. In the beginning, he pledged to reduce his environmental impact in every possible way. The business adopted a recycling system that would suit the heavy load a catering company produces; started a compost system for non-meat food scraps; uses compostable serviceware; and washes with a low-water dishwasher. They also work with the Weilenmann School of Discovery and Soaring Wings Montessori School to provide kids access to fresh, healthy food.

BURN BY KERRI JOHNSON

BABY

BURN

BURNING DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN BURNT. GIVING YOUR FOOD A LITTLE CHAR ADDS CHARACTER AND FLAVOR TO OTHERWISE STANDARD DISHES.

W

e’ve all burnt food, and it probably ended up in the trash. But modern chefs are using fire to their advantage, purposely burning food to add smoky, bitter notes and enhance the complexity of dishes. Grills, open burners and handheld smokers help cooks achieve their desired level of char. And with smoke, there’s flavor. These Park City chefs have been playing with fire and are mastering the art of the char. Look for these smokin’ good dishes at hot spots around town.

food smoker), the aioli is robust and adds just a hint of smoke to sandwiches and other dishes.

SAMMY’S BISTRO

Sammy’s Bistro is always inventive, and the kitchen staff is burning something unexpected — salad. The restaurant’s grilled romaine wedge consists of warm lettuce hearts charred on the grill with kosher salt and topped with Sammy’s four-cheese dressing, bacon, diced tomatoes and fried onion hay. It is so good, this salad stands up well next to some of the heartier dishes from Sammy’s that were featured on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

HANDLE

Handle is constantly changing its menu, but on it you can usually find a version of a smoked hummus with the ingredients changing based on seasonal local vegetables. To make the hummus, the chef smokes vegetables and uses those to build the base for a hummus with a smoky — almost like smoked bacon — taste. Handle serves the hummus with pickled vegetables and charred pita bread, which pleasantly complements the smoke of the hummus.

APEX

The most interesting ingredient in Apex’s signature roasted baby beet salad — surprisingly — is not the beets. It’s 44 | DISHINGPC.COM

the savory caramelized yogurt that took chef Christian Ojeda much research and development to perfect. While the recipe is a closely guarded secret, the process of making the yogurt includes caramelizing whey until it becomes a deep amber color, just before the point of burning. Ojeda then creates a savory yogurt with the whey, which lends a salted caramel and nutty taste.

<<

SHABU PARK CITY

This flash-fried green bean appetizer has been on the menu since Executive Chef Bob Valaika opened the restaurant with his brother in 2003, and with good reason. It was once an accompaniment to duck, but Valaika found customers ordering plates of just the side. So he gave these green beans a permanent place on the menu as a shared starter. The beans are fried in a hot wok for a minute to achieve a slight char and blister before being washed with a sweet-andspicy miso sauce. The char adds texture and crunch and is an easy way to put fresh summer beans to good use.

LEGENDS BAR & GRILL

Legends’ smoked tomato aioli is bringing the flavor and is finding its way onto many dishes on the menu. Made with The Smoking Gun (a handheld

SHABU’S BLISTERED GREEN BEANS This recipe was adapted to work for the at-home cook.

2 tablespoons white miso paste 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon soy sauce 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or another oil that can handle high heat) 1 pound green beans, trimmed 1 tablespoon Sriracha • Mix the miso paste, garlic and soy sauce together in a small bowl. Set aside.

• Add the coconut oil to a medium pan and turn to high heat. Let the oil heat for a minute, then add the green beans and toss to coat them in the oil. After a minute or so, you should see small brown blister spots. (If you don’t, turn up your heat a bit.) Continue to cook them, tossing as necessary, until they are all blistered, about 5 minutes. • Add the miso mixture to the browned beans and toss to coat. Let the beans sauté in the mixture for about 2 minutes before adding the Sriracha and transferring to a serving platter.

BANDITS’ GRILL & BAR

It’s no surprise that Bandits’ makes the list for delicious smoked food. With a smoker in the kitchen, the barbecue joint uses fruit wood to stoke the embers that impart flavor into its half chicken, baby

back ribs and pulled pork, among others. Most items are slow-smoked overnight to retain their juices and stay tender while they also gain a deep smoky flavor. Items are then finished on a wood grill to deliver the coveted char marks, which also crisps up the outside of the tender meat. Making the flavor that much better is the island barbecue rub used before cooking and the sauces used to baste just before finishing.

STATE ROAD TAVERN

With a huge smoker it had custom-built in Texas (so you know it’s legit), State

FROM THE ASHES

S

ome chefs have the hots for ash. After deeply charring anything from vegetables to wood, they’ll use the blackened parts to finish a dish with a smoky sprinkle. To create an ash powder at home, char a vegetable on the stove or grill, then place it into a tightly sealed container to allow the steam to cook through the core. Let the charred skin dry out by laying the vegetables on a resting rack overnight. Peel the charred skin away from the vegetable and put the skin into a blender or food processor and pulse until pulverized. Try adding this powder to mayonnaise with fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. The emulsified mayo can be used as a garnish or dipping sauce on fish or vegetables.

DISHINGPC.COM | 45

Road Tavern smokes up to 600 pounds of beef, pork and chicken daily with western oak (for heat) and cherry wood (for flavor). The concept of the Kamas restaurant developed from the area’s geography, and it has proved successful.

Patrons, like moths to the flame, clamor for the brisket, made with certified Angus beef. The Burnt End Fries put those otherwise uneaten, charred brisket ends to good use. They’re served atop fries with chili and Woodland white cheddar, creating a fired-up version of traditional chili cheese fries.

BIY (BURN IT YOURSELF)

I

f you’re looking to take your vegetables to another level and enhance their flavor, try throwing them on the grill. An easy way to taste the burn in peppers, onions, eggplants and more is by cooking the vegetables on an open flame or screaming-hot electric burner. Keep turning the vegetables until the skin is thoroughly blackened.

CAFE TERIGO

Working its own smoker behind the restaurant, this Main Street go-to features a risotto with smoked chicken for lunch as well as smoked chicken fettuccine for dinner. All items are smoked over mesquite wood. <<

COLLIE’S BAR AND GRILLE

What’s herding people to eat at Collie’s? It’s probably because half the menu is cooked in a 500-pound smoker in the kitchen. Chef Rob Holt is mastering what he calls Bobby-Q, his personal style of barbecue that uses his house-made rub and applewood in the smoker. Try the smoked wings and you may never want wings cooked any other way. Collie’s wings stay in the smoker until they are fall-off-the-bone good. To really taste the smoke flavor, order the wings naked (without sauce) and choose from one of four sauces for dipping.

46 | DISHINGPC.COM

YUKI YAMA SUSHI

At Yuki Yama, scallops are given the smoked treatment. Chefs torch three Hokkaido scallops and place them over edamame and macadamia nut puree. But they’re not done there. Cold snow crab legs are placed on top of the scallops, and everything is hit with peachwood smoke for even more flavor. The meal is covered with a lid to seal in the smoke, then uncovered tableside.

HIGH WEST

One sip of High West’s Campfire whiskey and you’ll taste how it got its name. This sweet, spicy and smoky whiskey was born from mixing sweet bourbon and peat. And because s’mores are supposed to be enjoyed around a campfire, try pairing this whiskey with High West’s s’mores, made with house-made vanilla marshmallow, molasses graham cracker and local Millcreek Cacao Roasters dark chocolate. <<

LOCO LIZARD CANTINA

Loco Lizard’s mole amarillo is not for the timid palate, and it’s also not for the timid chef. In a brave display, this mole is made by allowing the oil to literally burn before fresh chilies are added to begin the sauce. The result of this daring display of cooking is a rich, complex and very hot mole sauce.

TWICE THE DOUGH

Sweets are also getting the burned treatment. Twice the Dough has elevated the doughnut from a morning treat to a gourmet dessert. The shop is topping its toasted s’more doughnut with a slathering of milk chocolate ganache, a trail of graham cracker dust and a fire-roasted vanilla bean marshmallow for toasty, gooey caramelization. The caramel crème brûlée doughnut — a tender, billowy brioche doughnut filled with tasty vanilla bean crème brûlée custard — is finished with edible gold leaf and a crackly burnt sugar topping, adding a contrasting crunch and a nutty, complex flavor.

ADOLPH’S

With the motto “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it,” chef Adolph Imboden has been running his namesake restaurant for the past two decades. He has had a series

of flaming desserts on the menu since he opened that aren’t going anywhere. Crème brûlée, bananas foster and flambé make up the dessert menu (along with his famous chocolate fondue), and the burning is in view with a kitchen window to catch the action. He changes

the ingredients of the staple desserts based on seasonality, and a great time to try the flambé is in the summer when he uses fresh peaches from the farmers market. From farm to flambé, Adolph’s flaming desserts are the perfect finish to a hearty Euro dinner.

ADVENTURES IN UTAH DINING SPICE THINGS UP THIS SUMMER WITH THESE OUT-OF-THE-BOX DINING OPTIONS AROUND UTAH

By Jenn Rice Illustrations by Leslie Duke

If you’re looking for some serious summer fun, we suggest stepping outside your dining comfort zone and exploring these adventurous dining options. From having lunch at 11,000 feet above sea level to the most elaborate Sunday brunch you’ll ever experience, these foodie alternatives will keep your palate both excited and satisfied. An Over-the-Top Culinary Brunch Brunch with friends is always a delight, but Executive Chef Fernando Soberanis at The Grand America Hotel’s Garden Café takes Sunday brunch very seriously. So serious, in fact, that the production consists of 14 pastry cooks and chefs who are in charge of two or three items each. From king crab (sliced in half so you don’t have to lift a finger to get the delectable meat out) and jumbo shrimp to crepes, carving and paella stations, there is no shortage of mouthwatering options. For those looking to keep it on the lighter side,

the spread also includes a juice bar and a selection of composed salads. But the real treat (pun intended!) remains the dessert display, put on by Executive Pastry Chef Xavier Baudinet, a native of France. Think art-like chocolate structures, jarred concoctions, cakes, tarts and basically whatever your confectionery heart desires. Lunch at 11,000 Feet Resting at 11,000 above feet above sea level atop Hidden Peak, The Summit at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon is the highest yearround alpine facility in the United States. Escape the heat and take in unobstructed views of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest and Salt Lake Valley, all while enjoying an artisanal pizza and a cold brew outside on the restaurant’s 10,000-square-foot deck. There really is no better way to spend an afternoon, unless, of course, you take advantage of the resort’s summer activities, such as the alpine slide and mountain coaster. A Scenic Gourmet Picnic in Southern Utah The most over-the-top way to picnic in Utah? Go all out and partake in Montage Deer Valley’s luxury Montage to Moab package, which includes a private charter

plane to Moab, guided hiking or biking adventures in Arches National Park and a gourmet picnic amid the red rocks. And we’ll be the first to say it’s not your average lunch outing. Chef Christian Ojeda of Apex at Montage Deer Valley whips up gourmet items for the spread such as tomato gazpacho, red quinoa salad, curried chicken salad and white albacore tuna salad. “Cooking is about combining juxtaposed elements,” notes Ojeda. “When people think of dining and national parks, granola bars and homemade sandwiches typically come to mind, not a family-style gourmet meal. What other way to experience a culinary juxtaposition than to indulge in a chefprepared meal within an extraordinary setting of a national park?” DISHINGPC.COM | 55

SUMMER’S MOST ANTICIPATED FOOD AND BOOZE EVENTS From food and wine festivals to farmers markets, and even the area’s largest outdoor dinner party, Park City knows how to throw down.

Breakfast in a Vintage Trolley Car The drive up Emigration Canyon is worth it alone, but add in Ruth’s Diner and you’re looking at the ultimate breakfast experience. Not only is Ruth’s Utah’s second-oldest restaurant, but the front portion of the establishment remains the original trolley car that was moved from Salt Lake City to its current location in 1949. The fluffy, moist mile-high biscuits, which are served with all breakfast and lunch entrées, are not to be left on the plate. Other popular breakfast items include the smoked pork benedict, French toast and pancakes; however, be prepared to wait in line for breakfast. “There is typically a wait up to an hour on the weekend,” says Erik Nelson, owner of Ruth’s Diner. “The key to avoiding this is to arrive early.”

A Whiskey Dinner in a 1900s-Style Bungalow Two doors up from High West Distillery &

Saloon on Park Avenue, take a step into the past at The Nelson Cottage by High West — a 1900s-style bungalow that pays homage to Park City’s mining days — and experience spirits in a whole new light. Alongside the communal pre-fixe dinner, whiskey expert Terry Ginsberg gives guests a play-by-play on how each High West whiskey offering pairs with each course. Reservations are available every Friday and Saturday night from June 4 through Oct. 29. Check the website (highwest.com/nelsoncottage) as additional evenings may be added with demand. A Supper Club Atop a Mountain Take a scenic lift up to Bearclaw Cabin at Sundance Resort this summer for a supper club experience you won’t forget. The Bearclaw Supper Club is back this summer with two options to choose from. Mingle with new friends at communal tables during the six-course chef’s seated tasting menu, or take part in the soiree, which entails heavy hors d’oeuvres and stations where chefs create special dishes. Both events include live music, so grab your friends and let loose after a long week. The tasting menu takes place on June 25, July 30 and Aug. 27, and the Supper Club Soiree on July 16 and Aug. 13. A Cowboy-Style Barbecue Not sure where to take your out-of-town visitors for dinner? Instead of booking a reservation at a fancy restaurant, give them a taste of the Wild West with an authentic chuck-wagon-style barbecue via Rocky Mountain Outfitters in Midway. A horse-drawn wagon sets the Western

vibe and transports guests to a cowboy village where a gourmet Western buffet is served. Chow down on grilled steak or chicken, savory Dutch oven potatoes and beans, salad, rolls, watermelon and Dutch oven cobbler. Once you’ve reached your limit, sit back and enjoy live music, cowboy storytelling and Western games under the stars. A Dinner Adventure of Olympic Proportions Utah Olympic Park, a sports park built for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, features dinner in different areas of the park where guests can enjoy local chefs’ cuisine and thrilling activities. The dinner and events details will change throughout the summer, but picture a dinner while watching Nordic jumpers accompanied by extreme tubing and zip lines before or after the meal.

Yes, a pile of romaine topped with some grilled chicken breast is decidedly less exciting than steak frites.

HERE ARE CONFLICTING THEORIES ON WHAT MAKES A SUPERIOR PIZZA. SOME SAY IT’S THE CRUST. OTHERS CLAIM IT’S THE RATIO OF CHEESE TO SAUCE. THERE ARE EVEN SOME WHO ARGUE THE TOPPINGS MAKE THE PIE. THE OPINIONS ARE AS ENDLESS AS THE COMBINATIONS. LUCKILY, PARK CITY HAS A SLICE TO SATISFY EVERY TASTE. FROM WOOD-FIRED TO BRICK-OVEN TO HAND-TOSSED, THE PIE’S THE LIMIT.

Everybody Loves the Fat Kid

Maxwell’s East Coast Eatery was started by an Italian-American family who wanted to share their love of family, food and really big pizzas. At 20 inches, Maxwell’s hand-tossed offering is one of the largest pies in town. They carefully load up these monster pies with Italian favorites and fittingly call their version Fat Kid Pizza. Try the original Fat Kid because it’s “fuh-get-about-it” good with pepperoni, spinach and ricotta.

Empire State of Pie

Claiming to be the most authentic New York-style pizza in Utah, Este Pizzeria’s newest location in Park City is becoming an area favorite. Offering more than just big, thin crusty pies, Este has also gained popularity with its extended menu, offering glutenfree pizza and the only gluten-free vegan pizza in town. They even take the challenge of dietary restrictions to new heights with their vegan lasagna pizza, made with Daiya vegan cheese, homemade marinara, vegan ricotta and homemade vegan meatballs. At Este Pizza you can be gluten-free and vegan and eat your pizza, too. 66 | DISHINGPC.COM

A Tale of the Perfect Pizza Oven

Fuego Bistro researched pizza ovens relentlessly until owner Jason Crobarger found a wood-fired model that satisfied

his dreams. He then sought out local and organic ingredients, when possible, to support the community. What happened next was pizza success. The bubbly, thin-crust pies are a gourmet spin on the old classics. The Wasatch is the result of hours of Crobarger experimenting in the kitchen, mixing flavors and ingredients until he found the right combo. The honey, tomato and chipotle sauce is a trifecta of flavor, with aspects of sweet, savory and spicy rolled into one. The sauce is then topped with layers of pancetta, mozzarella, garlic, pineapple and cilantro. For something lighter, try the Jupiter, loaded with fresh spinach, sundried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, feta and mozzarella.

Pizza in the Morning, Pizza in the Evening, Pizza All the Time Drafts Sports Bar & Grill is serving up a pie-lethora of stone hearth pizzas to please any taste for three meals a day and dessert, too. Besides offering the popular and meat-heavy options for lunch and dinner, Drafts also wants you to start the day with pie. The breakfast pizza comes with a cracked egg, white cheddar, ham, bacon, garlic oil, spinach and cracked pepper. Still craving pizza after dinner? Try Drafts’ delectable dessert pizza. Cinnamon and sugar first dust dough, which is then baked with brownie bites and chocolate sauce and topped with cream cheese frosting and fresh raspberries.

JEAN-GEORGES VONGERICHTEN’S BLACK TRUFFLE PIZZA WITH FONTINA CHEESE > Pizza dough (use your favorite or find the recipe for Jean-Georges’ at dishingpc.com) > 2 cans truffle peelings > 150 milliliters white truffle oil > 1.5 ounces grated fontina cheese > Frisée > Your favorite vinaigrette > Chopped chives After rolling out your dough, combine 2 cans of truffle peelings with white truffle oil in food processor and process until finely ground. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. To assemble the pizza, spread 3 teaspoons truffle sauce (reserve the rest for another use) on the dough. Sprinkle fontina cheese on top and bake until well crisped and blisters are a bit burnt. Cut into quarters and top center of pizza with a small amount of frisée dressed with house dressing and chives. *Reprinted from Market by Jean-Georges

Jean-Georges-Approved Pizza

There’s a reason the black truffle pizza is a staple on the menu at many of JeanGeorges Vongerichten’s restaurants. If DISHINGPC.COM | 67

you’ve never tasted it, then plan to order it. This appetizer provides a balanced bite, with fontina cheese and black truffles topped off with frisée. Go ahead and order several for the table because it’s a Jean-Georges classic, and everyone will want a slice.

Small Pizza, Big Flavor

A pizzetta is a small Italian pizza, and at Cena it is hard to choose just one off the menu. Thankfully these pies are smaller in size so ordering several is just fine. The inventive wild boar sausage and Brussels sprout pizzetta is a favorite, with garlic sauce and manchego cheese. Also, don’t miss the archetype margherita pizza. While you’re at it, you might as well try the creative pancetta and egg pizzetta, which comes topped with broccolini and Gruyère cheese.

Beehive Pie

If you really want to feel like a local, head into Squatters Roadhouse Grill and order the locals-only pizza. Using only local ingredients, this pie is loaded up with Creminelli calabrese salami, Mountain View mushrooms, Beehive cheese, fresh mozzarella, Lehi Roller Mills flour and house-made marinara. Pair it with a Squatter’s Hop Rising for a meal made completely in the Beehive State.

Local’s Special

Family-owned and -operated since 1979, Davanza’s remains exactly how you 68 | DISHINGPC.COM

want a pizza joint — friendly, but not fancy, and firing out delicious slices. Plus, the walls are made out of beer cans. A block off Main Street, Davanza’s is a local favorite, and the pizza is served on thin, homemade crust with homemade marinara sauce. Try the Muker’s Supreme, a regular Parkite’s choice, with pepperoni, sausage, ham, ground beef, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and black olives. For a great deal get the local’s special: two slices and a soda for $6.99.

Breaking the Rules

While the house rules at Main Street Pizza & Noodle are what you want from a pizza spot — including using homemade ingredients, making fresh dough daily and hand-tossing pies — the house pizza may surprise you. The pesto-based pie with mozzarella, garlic, sundried tomatoes and shrimp is the specialty. Shrimp and pizza may seem like an unlikely combo, but you’ll have to try it to believe that it really works.

When Life Hands You Lemons

Hand-tossing pizzas since 1962, Red Banjo Pizza is the longest-running family-owned business in Park City. With a track record like that, the pizza has to be good. Red Banjo specializes in hand-tossed, old-fashioned and freshbaked pizzas. What may not seem so classic are the quartered lemon slices served with the pizzas — a trademark by which Red Banjo swears. Squeeze a few drops of lemon on the Red Banjo Special — a longtime favorite — with Canadian bacon, pepperoni, beef, sausage, onions, fresh mushrooms, black olives and green peppers. The acid and slight bitterness serve to bring out the flavors.

Boston Born

Born in Massachusetts, Mangia Neapolitan Pizzeria builds its pies on award-winning dough that patrons have described as “heavenly” for its light and airy texture. This Neapolitan-style whole-wheat crust serves as the ideal foundation for a variety of custom-crafted pies that feature the freshest meat and vegetable toppings, all-natural sauces and 100 percent natural mozzarella cheese. Pay tribute to Mangia’s Red Sox-nation roots and try The Yawkey Way pie, which celebrates the classic taste of Fenway Park with red sauce, sausage, white onions and green peppers.

Avalon Palm Springs In my opinion, everything Kelly Wearstler touches turns to gold. So a stay at this quintessential resort dating to the 1930s is a must. Nestled between downtown’s main drag and the foot of the rugged San Jacinto Mountains, the walking-friendly location that Wearstler put her touch on is a desert oasis, channeling the town’s past through her take on the Hollywood Regency style. This glittering property offers 67 luxuriously appointed guest rooms and villas. Spend the day relaxing around one of three pools, take a break for an indulgent treatment at the Estrella Spa and nosh poolside from eats prepared in the on-site restaurant, Chi Chi. Vacation Palm Springs Live like a local by renting one of Vacation Palm Springs’ exquisite properties. The company manages a large selection of luxury homes with private pools (it also has smaller homes and condos) that offer something for every taste. Midcentury modern homes are widely available, but check out some with other architectural styles (most tell a story), such as the Marrakesh Oasis. This four-bedroom estate is tucked in the Historic Tennis Club — the oldest neighborhood in Palm Springs and just blocks from downtown — and was originally part of a 40-acre ranch compound belonging to a prominent U.S. manufacturing family. Today it’s lavishly appointed with custom tile and ironwork, graceful Moorish arches and authentic Moroccan fixtures. With more than 1,200 square feet of verandas and views of the San Jacinto Mountains from the private pool, this property is the ultimate home base for a week of relaxing. DISHINGPC.COM | 71

The Parker Palm Springs As soon as you arrive at this retro resort, make your way to the lemonade stand for one of its signature cocktails. Then, with drink in hand, explore the lush grounds of this glamorous property. Pathways wind through manicured gardens, leading you to outdoor fire pits, pétanque courts and a croquet course. Inside these retro walls, the 131 guest rooms and 14 villas are

well-appointed with toiletries from Hermès and Molton Brown and Jonathan Adler décor. Don’t expect to spend too much time in these chic rooms. With the property’s three pools, you can choose to soak up some Palm Springs sun or head inside to escape from it with a good soak. If you’re staying in the former residence of singing cowboy Gene Autry, then there’s no need to leave. For a hefty price, you can enjoy your own private pool.

DINE

Cheeky’s >> This local institution is popular for breakfast and lunch — and well-known for its lines of hungry design-lovers and hipsters waiting for a seat. So embrace the wait because it’s worth it for the plates of farm-fresh, locally sourced brunch and lunch items and popular cocktails. The menu changes weekly with few exceptions. You’ll always find the bacon flight, which offers tastings of five flavors, including apple cinnamon and sriracha, and the spicy bloody mary, made with house-infused vodka vegetables. After that, you may find a riff on avocado toast, but Cheeky’s version comes with burrata, arugula and radish. At lunch, order the rotating flavor of agua fresca to wash down the fried chicken sandwich with bacon, Napa slaw, ranch dressing and crispy onions. 72 | DISHINGPC.COM

Birba Owned by the couple who started Cheeky’s, this sister restaurant is quieter but still a popular outpost for locals. Choose to sit outdoors, where the patio is lined by oversize trees and lit by firelight, with outdoor fire pits, couches and a sprawling Carrara marble bar. This restaurant, situated in the Uptown Design District, is known for gourmet pizzas and an exotic cocktail list. Begin the evening with the Heated Snake, a mix of agave tequila, triple sec, habanero simple syrup, and lime and lemon from the on-site citrus trees. For dinner, plan to

share several dishes. Start with an order of Nonna’s meatballs, made with Berkshire pork and grass-fed beef. Order a pizza and house-made beet ravioli for the table to split. There’s no better meal to tide you over while watching the models and hipsters stroll by. EIGHT4NINE In 1954, EIGHT4NINE was the home of the Palm Springs post office. Last year it was transformed into a chic restaurant with splashes of hot pink set against a striking white backdrop. EIGHT4NINE, which feels a little like a modern take on Alice in Wonderland, is a dazzling new spot that fits right in — and perhaps raises the bar — in the Uptown Design District. The eclectic menu features a celebration of West Coast modern American cuisine, and is equally focused on presentation and flavors. If you’re there for lunch, order

the lobster roll (secret: It’s also available for dinner at the backlit onyx bar). At dinner, the mushroom and Brussels sprouts toast and the lobster pot pie are not to be missed. SO•PA Tucked within the outdoor grounds at L’Horizon Hotel, this alfresco restaurant is set among large trees that offer shade for breakfast and lunch and a romantic, string-lit effect for dinner. Reserve a ta-

ble or dine family style at the 26-foot live edge walnut communal table. Home to Michelin-starred chef Giacomo Pettinari, who honed his craft at the legendary El Bulli, this gourmet restaurant and cocktail lounge offers artfully crafted dishes and drinks. The muhammara (Turkish charred red peppers dip with roasted walnuts, pomegranate molasses, pepitas and homemade yogurt naan) will take the edge off while you decide what to order. The black quinoa with roasted hazelnuts, cranberries, apples, celery, scallions and arugula is almost too pretty to eat.

Bee’s Knees (Ransom Old Tom gin, lemon juice, fresh honey and lemon oils) while you peruse the menu. If the apples and cheese (with sliced Honeycrisp, duck fat brioche and port salut pot de crème) are any indication, you might have a hard time picking just a handful of items to taste. King’s Highway Formerly a Denny’s restaurant, this reimagined modern roadside diner at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club offers a cultivated menu focused on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Chances are you indulged in one too many craft cocktails the night before, so these huge brunch platters will cure what ails you. Order a date shake for the table to split, then dive into the signature chilaquiles, with soft scrambled eggs, red chili sauce, corn tortilla chips, chorizo, chipotle crema and Oaxaca cheese, which will set you up for a long day lounging by the pool. But if you want something lighter, the sweet corn fritters with marinated tomatoes, upland cress, cumin yogurt and poached eggs are just as delicious. >>

Shake It Up The growing area around Palm Springs is known for an abundance of dates. So naturally, these sugar-packed fruits are a great pick for a milkshake. Once blended into a paste with vanilla ice cream and milk, these fruits offer a smooth taste that’s more like a caramel shake than a fruit dessert. Almost every restaurant boasts its

own, but some to try include those from Hadley Fruit Orchards and Shields Date Garden. Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt sells one that is surprisingly delicious. >>

Take a Hike Centuries ago, ancestors of the Agua Caliente Cahuilla Indians settled in the Palm Springs area and developed extensive communities. Part of that is the 15-milelong Palm Canyon, which offers a number of hiking trails for any level. If you want a stroll, take the moderately graded footpath that winds down into the canyon, where you can picnic near a palm-lined stream. If you want to huff and puff, ask for a recommendation from the visitor center. Rangers also offer guided tours if you want to learn more about the area’s history.

Ride for Free From 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. every Thursday through Sunday, the Buzz Trolley offers free transportation across town. Check the route map at buzzps.com. Absorb Some Art Every Thursday the Palm Springs Art Museum waives its admission and lets guests in for free. While available only between 4 and 8 p.m., that’s plenty of time to browse the museum’s 28 galleries and sculpture gardens. The museum is an architecturally significant building designed by architect E. Stewart Williams at the base of Mount San Jacinto. The permanent collection of more than 55,000 objects features art of the Americas and 20th-century California art.

BOOTLEGGER TIKI OFFERS COCKTAIL CLASSES

Mix in a Class Located in the same space as the original Don the Beachcomber restaurant that opened in 1953, Bootlegger Tiki is reviving the speakeasy tradition with classic cocktails in this intimate, dimly lit bar (there are tiki torches, of course). While this should definitely be a happy hour or late-night stop, the establishment also offers cocktail classes led by head bartender Chad Austin. He will teach you a few trade secrets and help you hone your skills, all while you get slightly tipsy. Take It to the Streets After the art museum, head over to VillageFest. From 6 to 9 p.m. every Thursday, Palm Springs hosts this free outdoor street festival in the heart of town. Choose anything from street tacos to barbecue sandwiches to crepes from food vendors, and browse more than 200 booths offering beautiful art, handcrafted items and unique food. DISHINGPC.COM | 75

S AMMY’S BIS TRO A Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives favorite Open for lunch and dinner daily | 1890 Bonanza Dr. 435.214.7570 | sammysbistro.com Owner Sam Harris worked as a waiter and line cook in his native town of Park City long enough to know what the locals wanted. He originally started a smaller version of the concept at the Park Silly Markets, and his food was so sought-after that he decided to open a permanent restaurant. Sammy’s has since become so popular that Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives chose to feature the restaurant on the show. The concept is to offer a varied menu that pulls influences from Thailand to Texas. The bistro can be a quick, counter-service option for lunch on the go but is equally appealing for a more leisurely dinner. The menu offers hearty salads and sandwiches alongside great shared starters. Favorites include a grilled romaine wedge with a four-cheese dressing and the barbecue shrimp, which come with grilled jalapeños wrapped in bacon.

SHABU Freestyle Asian cuisine Serving dinner nightly from 5 until close; reservations recommended. 442 Main St. | 435.645.7253 | shabuparkcity.com The chef at this Main Street “Freestyle Asian” restaurant was trained in the kitchen of Japanese master Nobu Matsuhisa.

Get started by choosing a sake from the extensive list, and share a plate of the blistered green beans before you move on. The sushi is outstanding and artfully created, and there are plenty of other options if you want something warm and hearty. Try the wagyu beef hot rock served with a ponzu butter dipping sauce or a bowl of shabu-shabu, which comes with a bento box of sauces and fresh udon noodles — a good choice for a group dining experience. The restaurant, which opened in 2004, is owned by two brothers, Bob and Kevin Valaika — who love Park City’s mountains as much as they do wowing their guests.
