SLCeats: Highlighting the best restaurants in Salt Lake City and Park City
A food blog about restaurants in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah. Ryan Kendrick's words and photos.
Have a hankering for brunch, but tired of the same old french toast and eggs over easy?
How about a wild mushroom and goat cheese quiche, chicken and waffles (!), or Peking duck hash browns?
Chef Matt Lake has set out to raise brunch in Salt Lake City to a new level. Prices for entrees range from $7 to $14. I can’t wait to try it.
Brunch will be offered on Sundays from 10 am to 2:30 pm.
Salt Lake diners have an opportunity to participate in a very unique event: a Michelin-caliber roving guerrilla restaurant, developed and executed by Chef Gavin Baker.
The Mist project travels to various cities throughout the country and sets up “camp” for a few weeks. Chef Baker produces an amazing meal which accompanies an exquisite evening. The Mist project stopped for a few days in the Fall of 2008. You can see photos here.
Mist:SaltLake will offer a 15-course tasting menu that will last from 3 ½ to 4 ½ hours. Their website says “Because of Utah’s unique (challenging, impossible) liquor licensing, Mist:SaltLake welcomes you to bring your own wine to the event."
At $150 a pop, tickets aren’t cheap, but it promises to be an amazing (and delicious) event.

Just how honest are Salt Lakers?
In an event that is part marketing stunt/part social experiment, the makers of Honest Tea are setting out to various cities across the country to test just how honest our residents are.
On Monday, September 26th they will set up an “Honest Store” outside Energy Solutions Arena from 9 am to 4 pm. The store will have a cooler full of Honest Tea for $1 each. But here’s the twist: it’s all on the honor system. Nobody will be there collecting the money, so it’s all up to the individual to be honest.
All of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the non-profit City Year.
Chicago was 99% honest, and Boston and Seattle were 97%. Do you think we can beat them? You can follow along on their website.
Just found out about a new food truck roaming the streets called Better Burger. Sounds like they just got their start today, and they’re using local baker Stoneground for their buns, local turkey, and grass-fed beef from Moab for their burgers. Their blacked-out truck looks pretty slick, too.
It’s great to see a new food truck that’s so focused on responsibly-sourced food.
Early reports from some customers on Twitter say “it was fantastic! You can taste the quality and freshness.”
