Christopher’s prides itself on friendly service and delicious steaks
An unsuspecting location of a suburbia strip mall holds a fine local steak house. Christopher’s Prime Steak House & Grill has two locations: the popular downtown restaurant at 134 West Pierpont Avenue, and the location we recently visited in Draper. Though I don’t find myself normally venturing out to the suburbs to eat, I will say there were some perks to this steak house. Christopher’s in Draper prides itself on friendly service and delicious steaks just the way you want them. I must admit, I’m not usually a steak kind of gal, but on certain occasions I do partake. My
6
IN Magazine | April 2013
favorite steaks have all been ones with crispy, well seasoned, exteriors. To get this flavorful mouthful, I thought I needed to order a well-done steak, which can be quite offensive to many servers or chefs. Our server was obliged to have my steak fixed just the way I enjoy it and didn’t bat an eye at my request. On this occasion, we tried the Filet Mignon, well done, and the Sirloin, medium rare, and were highly pleased with both cuts. I’m learning that you can have a steak with a perfectly crispy exterior and a juicy interior, so maybe I’ll be venturing into more rare meats in the future.
In addition to their unpretentious attitude in Draper, they also have a beautiful patio overlooking the Uinta Mountains, allowing for a perfect view of the setting sun. It doesn’t get much better than steaks and sunsets over the mountains. We also found a great treasure in the appetizer menu—Fire-Grilled Artichokes. These whole artichokes are steamed then rubbed in butter and spices before being set on a grill, resulting in a smoky and flavorful experience in every bite. Eating artichokes is quite an experience in itself if you have never had a whole artichoke before. Peel away the
DINING artichoke leaves layer by layer, dip the side with the artichoke meat in butter or aioli, then scrape off the meat with your teeth, using your hands and no utensils the whole time. Delicious flavor plus a utensil-free activity at the dinner table always results in a good time. another small treasure we found was revealed when they brought out the warm rolls. They serve their breads with a creamy butter that’s flavored with balsamic and
freshly ground pepper—an unusual but extremely enjoyable addition to a toasty roll. Butter, steak, and artichokes aside, the down-to-earth friendly service of the suburbs ended up being quite refreshing and even peaceful. We sat in the bar area, received quick service, and got a chance to hear more about the restaurant from both the owner and the server. The bartender talked of his regulars who come to the bar for steak and wine, or
sometimes just come in for a late-night drink and small bite. It was easy to tell that he had a real care for his customers and that his regulars enjoyed him as well. Christopher’s has been open since 1995 and continues its good reputation by taking care of those who walk in their doors by giving them exactly what they want, whether that be a well-done steak, extra butter for their rolls, or to sit at the bar to watch the game. We found this steak house to have an easygoing feeling about it and left charmed by our suburbia steak experience. Becky Rosenthal loves Salt Lake City. It doesn’t get much more complicated than that. Sometimes she attributes it to the four distinct seasons. Other times it’s the skiing or the summer evenings on the porch. However, most often, it’s the food. Becky Rosenthal started SLCfoodie a few years ago in hopes of sharing her love of the emerging Salt Lake City food scene. She currently lives downtown where she also manages Vintage Mixer.

Thanks to Salt Lake City’s wide assortment of mouthwatering sandwich shops, you won’t ever have to worry about running out of options. If sandwiches are your jam, you won’t want to miss these Utah classics. Moochie’s Meatballs & More 232 East 800 South $6–$10
Not all of Utah’s classic sandwich shops hit it big nationwide, but this one did. It’s been featured on multiple famous television series for its long list of tasty sandwiches. If Philly Cheesesteaks are still on your bucket list of things to try, this is one you simply cannot pass up. Town and Country Market 2840 South Main Street $4–$10
If you drive by this place, you may not even know what it is. That’s because it used to be an old car shop.

The classic Rueben sandwich can be hard to master, so it’s a good thing Siegfried’s has this one down to an absolute art—everything at this place seems to be perfected.

Their club sandwich, stacked high with thick-cut bacon and juicy turkey, is a favorite to take to the park nearby to enjoy some rays with family or friends. Schmidt’s Pastry Cottage 609 East 2100 South $5–$10
Some people just can’t eat a big, tasty meal without dessert afterward. Schmidt’s Pastry Cottage has you covered when you are craving a sandwich on homemade bread and an éclair to go on the side that is, in one word, divine. Try a turkey bacon tomato sandwich and you’ll be a lifetime customer.

Matthew Lake
Zy’s new American cuisine enlivens the classics In an era when it seems like everyone and their dog has their own show on the Food Network, chefs are faced with a challenging atmosphere—too many people know just enough about fine dining to be dangerous, and standards have changed. But for Matthew Lake, chef and owner of Salt Lake City’s acclaimed Zy Restaurant, a wave of enthusiastic appreciation for better-than-average eating might not be such a bad thing, especially in the middle of a career that saw him touted as one of the best new chefs in America.
Zy Restaurant 268 South State Street, SLC (801) 779-4730 zyrestaurant.com Photo by Brent Rowland
Zy, located at 268 South State Street, has quickly earned a reputation as one of the city’s most appreciated new restaurants, with Lake’s creative but not overly complicated take on American favorites blended with a well-cultivated selection of local and regional cheeses and great wines.
To that end, Zy’s offerings may seem a little simple when compared to the ornately complex and modifier-heavy dining West and East Coast foodies now demand. Lake says his approach is to blow diners away with the food and the presentation, not a lot of fancy talk.
Lake, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, spent the mid- to late-’90s earning his chops working alongside the acclaimed Marcel Desauliers at Trellis in Williamsburg, Virginia, and with Mark Miller at Washington D.C.’s Red Sage—the latter a high-end purveyor of Southwest cuisine.
“Take our pecan pork, for instance. I could tell people that it’s cooked in duck confit, but that’s going to turn a lot of people off,” he notes. “I want them to get it and be surprised; I don’t want to show off, and that gives me a lot more freedom in my creations.”
The 42-year-old Lake says Zy’s menu and directions most closely follow his time a few years later at D.C.’s New Heights restaurant, with seasonal, eclectic American dining that garnered him plenty of national attention but also helped him figure out what not to do as a more seasoned restaurateur serving the Utah market. “I don’t just wing stuff anymore,” he says.“ I used to do a lot of overly creative one-time menus when I was younger, and I’ve learned to control my impulses. I like to evolve things but not entirely flip a whole menu. The goal is to make stuff that people crave—a simple item that pops into someone’s head a week later, as a good memory. You do that and you’ve hit it out of the park.”
10
IN Magazine | April 2013
The same goes for Zy’s hot smoked salmon, which is much more elaborate than described in the menu. “We take an 8-ounce fillet that we slow cook sous vide style and then bring out in a dome of smoke, with pea shoots and a yam reduction. If I worded all of that in the menu, die-hard foodies would love it, but I want average people to be able to relate to smoked fish and say, ‘Wow, I’ve never had it like that before.’” Lake was particularly active in the greater New York City dining scene in the early 2000s, running a series of higher-end Mexican restaurants; Catherine, his wife, is a Salt Lake City native, and the couple moved here eight years ago when she got a particularly good job offer, with Lake first opting to commute back and forth across the country.
Matthew Lake “But we knew we wanted to open something here, to be downtown,” he recalls. “I just needed to line up a lease, the right kind of space, and the liquor license. luckily, we got a very modern location with a 60-foot-high glass atrium and a hotel nearby for steady outof-towner traffic.” Teaming up with entrepreneur Sean Slater and general manager Miles Broadhead, lake helped craft a new restaurant that incorporates many of his culinary interests— shelving his Southwestern and Mexican themes and instead concentrating on staples like lamb, duck breast, fried chicken, BBQ sandwiches and a wicked macaroni and cheese with ham and peas. In the summer, he offers a menu based entirely on the pickings from the weekly farmer’s market; otherwise, he concentrates on ingredients provided by local and regional growers, in season. “If I was going to focus on one cuisine, the New american stuff really gave me the freedom to do more. and from what we’ve seen, it’s been a very smart move for this market. We’ve been extremely successful. I still get to be the oddity, too—we put tablecloths on the tables, and we dress our waiters in shirts and ties.”

The Gateway refresh: going green & supporting local
Strolling through The Gateway in the spring breeze is just as pleasant as it’s ever been. Though there may be some new faces to the party—restaurants, locally owned shops, art galleries, and boutiques—good times are still to be had by all. The Gateway is greening up and making a few improvements (to the tune of $2 million dollars or so by RPAI) to its eclectic ambiance.
T
he Gateway’s standout landmark, the Olympic Legacy Plaza, is getting upgraded fountain tech adding a variety of songs that will reflect the season, upcoming holiday or special events. Since the shopping center is also a host for many community events, soft-seating areas are being added and dedicated to a community icon (along with more outdoor fire elements to warm your hands and back sides during the winter). These will not be the only spaces dedicated to the community, The Gateway also plans to allow local groups to customize the lobby wall spaces in the nine parking garages. Along with supporting local, The Gateway’s plans for going green include changes that will conserve energy and reduce the shopping center’s impact on the environment. Energyefficient lighting has already been installed in the parking garages, cutting back on power use by about 50 percent, and also making the garages brighter. Automated parking systems are reducing car emissions by cutting idle time from 30 to 15 seconds. Trees and potted plants are being added to the existing landscape for an increase in urban green space. The center is also partnering with Momentum

Recycling to introduce a glass-recycling program for The Gateway’s retailers as well as hosting a SLC Bike Share kiosk encouraging green transportation, alongside the already easily accessible Trax and FrontRunner stations. Although it already boasts more restaurants than any other shopping center in the state, The Gateway has welcomed a few more, most recently Malawi’s Pizza and La Jolla Groves, both of which are locally owned. On the plus side: for every meal you buy at Malawi’s Pizza, they donate a meal to a child in Malawi, Africa. New retailers with similar eclectic style also include Francesca’s Collections, Bettie Page, URivals, Called to Surf, Epic Board Shop and Blickenstaff’s Toys. Of these new retailers, Bettie Paige, based out of Vegas, is a throwback to the 1950s offering an enjoyable taste of retro flavor with the sales associates dressed and styled to match. URivals (U for University!) puts every kind of sports apparel and gear on the floor you need for a BYU/U of U throwdown (although what fans would do with logo-based duct tape or a spatula should probably remain in the game zone only). Called to Surf on the other hand enthuses over water, classifying themselves as a “movement to bring endless summer lifestyle to the beach-blessed and the beach-

less everywhere,” with a diverse offering of board shorts, swimsuits, footwear and sunglasses. Also fresh to The Gateway is Blickenstaff’s Toys with a selection of toys, games and candy that will tweak your heartstrings (though you claim you are there for the kids). You will find vintage toys, life-size toys, games, puzzles, finger puppets, lunch boxes, costume pieces and a plethora of other goodies. While this may seem like an exhaustive list of The Gateway’s offerings, there are still more activities and festivities too numerous to mention. The Urban Arts Gallery at the south end hosts the work of local artists with two-dimensional wall art and sculpture to dancers like the BBoy Federation breakers who dance the first-Friday of every month. Perhaps the best The Gateway has to offer is a space with an eclectic style and an open-to-all-vibe with an inviting atmosphere. So, come down and check out Salt Lake’s hot spot, where shoppers catch not just the vibe, but also experience pleasures high-end to trendy, local to classic.

Natural History Museum of Utah Helping us see beyond our own time Natural history museums face the challenging task of replicating the natural world in an artificial space. We know these exhibits well. The genuine artifacts, preserved with care from far-flung archaeological sites, sit among contrived sets meant to transport us to another time—usually millions of years ago before erosion, extinction and evolution created the world we know now. We learn, we gain a new perspective and imagination helps fill the gaps. Thanks to stunning architecture and the even more impressive landscape, the Natural History Museum of Utah significantly mitigates just how much imagination we have to use. Perched high in the Wasatch foothills, the museum offers panoramic views of the entire Salt Lake Valley. From the Oquirrh Mountains to snow-capped peaks to the Great Salt Lake itself, the museum overlooks an expansive, diverse valley once filled by the pre-historic Lake Bonneville. Oversized floor-to-ceiling widows constantly remind visitors of the actual natural world beyond the museum’s walls, locating them in the much larger context of the earth itself and the history that shapes it, two principal reasons the museum exists in the first place. This interaction of informative exhibits augmented by breathtaking views creates a unique experience. It is by far the museum’s greatest accomplishment. A close second comes in the very form of the museum itself. Chief architect Todd Schliemann echoes the salient features of Utah’s rich and varied geography, resulting in a manmade

structure that feels right at home in the surrounding world it strives to render and honor. A 60-foot-high central room called the Canyon serves as the main hub, and sets the tone for the entire visit. Similar to southern Utah’s world famous slot canyons, the room’s jagged edges and flowing surfaces run effortlessly together, mimicking erosive qualities found in the natural world. Taken as a whole, the result could have been too contrived, too stylized and overdone. Instead the sheer amount of negative space balances the fluid architecture nicely, approximating the experience of standing in a time-worn canyon.
Plan at least two hours to enjoy the immersive exhibits. The average visitor will learn a lot about ecology, geology, natural history and Utah’s surprising role in the always fascinating dinosaur drama. Life-size fossil reconstructions dot the dinosaur gallery, which culminates in an entire wall covered with giant horned dinosaur skulls (as witness to a ten-yearold’s reaction to the exhibit, I can vouch for the awe-inducing effect)
From the Canyon visitors figuratively travel back through time and literally climb upward through the museum as exhibits unfold around them. Up against such beautiful architecture, curators faced the risk of the building becoming the main event. But the exquisite exhibits more than hold their own ground. As with the architecture, each
As with the natural world itself, there is something to explore and wonder at all along the way. Large dinosaur bones fill glass cases embedded in the walkway. Interactive exhibits allow children to smell far-off forests and witness the effects of time and erosion on a landscape. A generous collection of rare minerals redefines just how exciting mere rocks can be.
represents and discusses what can be found right here in Utah.
Entertainment The museum also pays homage to Native Americans and their cultural heritage, one we closely associate with the natural world. The current featured exhibition, Weaving A Revolution, displays beautiful baskets created in the Navajo tradition. More than 150 baskets, precisely woven, tell the story of a nearly forgotten art form that relies on natural materials and traditional customs to interpret a complex belief system derived from the elements.
As already mentioned, natural history museums help put things in perspective. In a post-industrial world, where we manipulate nearly anything we want, they often leave us feeling a bit diminished—which is probably a good thing. After all, what skyline compares to the time and forces at work to create the Wasatch front, Bryce Canyon or Zion National Park? The Natural History Museum of Utah reminds us just how
much time precedes the relatively short trip we get to make in this world. Perhaps the museum’s most important role can be found in a quote by Utah writer and naturalist Terry Tempest Williams, memorialized on the first wall visitors pass in the first exhibit: “The eyes of the future are looking back at us and they are praying for us to see beyond our own time.”

Salt Lake City Pubs: what they’re
famous for!
Green Pig Featuring the salmon salad
A
good pub is a wonderful thing. Being able to spend an evening in one place, fortified with food and drinks, makes for a happy night out. Salt Lake City has quite a few pubs that rival the food, drink, and atmosphere of any great city. I challenge you to try them all and find out why!
Gracie’s Featuring the Kobe beef burger,
Beerhive Pub: 128 South Main Street This two-level Main Street Pub is one of the favorites in the city. Their beer selection includes all your favorite local beers as well as brews from around the globe. Take a seat up front and keep your drink cold on their “ice bar.” Enjoy classic pub food from Nachos to their signature sandwich, “The Beerhive.” The Beerhive Pub is a great place for a working lunch or a night out. Fiddler’s Elbow: 1063 East 2100 South Located in the heart of Sugarhouse, Fiddler’s Elbow is the perfect place to catch the game or try your hand at some pool. Fiddler’s is known for its comfort food, including its famous artichoke dip and daily flavors of smashed potatoes. Fiddler’s also serves up killer seafood enchiladas and a mean brunch buffet on the weekend. Enjoy 32 beers on tap in this relaxed atmosphere.
Squatters Pub Brewery: 147 West Broadway
Porcupine Pub & Grille: 3698 East 7200 South
Squatters Pub Brewery is certainly famous for its cleverly named and delicious tasting beers, from Provo Girl Pilsner to its reserve series, Outer Darkness. Squatters knows its audience and delivers! Squatters also has a wide-ranging menu from pizzas to burgers, but a favorite is the chicken chimichanga or the creamy mac and cheese. Order up a black and tan, some local grub and enjoy this Salt Lake City favorite.
Are you a snow bunny? Porcupine Pub & Grille is one of the best spots to find yourself after a day of shredding the gnar. Known for its delicious homemade chicken noodle soup and towering nachos, Porcupine will warm you right up. Pair that with one of 24 beers on tap, including the best local brews, and you are sure to have a happy finish to your day on the slopes. Porcupine is located at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, ready and waiting to feed you.

IN Magazine | April 2013
Nightlife Red Rock Brewery: 254 South 200 West
Gracie’s: 326 South West Temple
This Salt Lake staple is a local hot spot. Red Rock is known for its handcrafted beers, as well as fresh and delicious food. Try the Sautéed Parmesan Halibut with the Horseradish Mashed Potatoes or the famous Halibut Fish & Chips. Red Rock also serves up great salads like the New York steak or warm goat Cheese. Try the Amber Ale (its #1 selling beer) the Blonde Ale.
Gracie’s is Salt Lake City’s one and only “Gastropub.” With two floors, two patios and by far the most beautiful view of downtown and the Wasatch Mountains; Gracie’s is a must for a night on the town. While you are there you have to try the Kobe beef burger. It’s a half-pound 100 percent Kobe Beef, chipotle aioli, fried leeks, Manchego cheese, tat-soi, baby chard, tomatoes on a toasted onion bun. It’s impossible to think about this delicious burger without your mouth watering.
The Bayou: 645 South State Street Known by its patrons as “Beervana,” the Bayou offers up a different variety of pub food—Cajun. The Bayou has the most extensive beer list in Utah with over 300 different varieties available—you can literally try a beer from almost anywhere in the world. Check out their Jambalaya or Popcorn Crawfish and enjoy some live jazz and an eclectic vibe. Bohemian Brewery & Grill: 94 East 7200 South, Midvale The Bohemian offers a great pub alternative with its wonderful German food and handcrafted beer. The brewers at Bohemian brew their beer for eight weeks under the German Purity Law, rather than the typical two- to three-week period. This makes their brews super crisp and clean. Make sure to order the Pierogies & Bratwurst or the Bohemian Schnitzel—then pair it with the Czech Pilsner or Viennese Lager for a true German pub experience.
The Green Pig Downtown Pub & Grill: 31 East 400 South The spring and summer seasons bring many things to the downtown Salt Lake City area. One of those things is great weather for sitting out in the sun or enjoying a great evening on Salt Lake City’s only roof-top patio in the downtown area! This great, open space looks out towards the Salt Lake City and County Building and is framed in the background by the Wasatch Mountain range. Their food is to die for. Next time you are in the neighborhood you should try the salmon salad blackened salmon atop baby greens with sundried tomatoes, red onion slices, pear tomato confit, drizzled with grape seed oil, olive oil and a raspberry vinaigrette.

Film 4/7 5 Broken cameras 7 p.m., Free; Utah Film Center: The City Library, 210 East 400 South, SLC When his fourth son, gibreel, is born, emad, a palestinian villager, gets his first camera. In his village, Bil’in, a separation barrier is being built and the villagers start to resist this decision. For more than five years, emad films the struggle, which is lead by two of his best friends, alongside filming how gibreel grows. Very soon it affects his family and his own life. Daily arrests and night raids scare his family; his friends, brothers, and he as well are either shot or arrested. One camera after another is shot at or smashed, and each camera tells a part of his story.
Around Town 4/7 Schindler’s List 6 p.m., Free; Utah Film Center: Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, 138 West Broadway, SLC Presented in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, this multiple Academy Award-winning epic film is considered by many to be one of the greatest films ever made. The film tells the story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved the lives of more than a thousand Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. 4/11 Chasing Ice 7 p.m., Free; Utah Film Center: Viridian Library Event Center, 8030 South 1825 West, West Jordan In the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National Geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of Earth’s changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very wellbeing at risk. Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. 4/16 The Law In These Parts 7 p.m., Free; Utah Film Center: The City Library, 210 East 400 South, SLC What is legal and what is just? Through candid, first-ever, interviews with Israeli judges, prosecutors and legal advisors, The Law In These Parts is a gripping and revelatory investigation into the legal framework put in place by Israel to govern the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The film explores this unprecedented and little-known story through testimonies of the military legal professionals who were the architects of the system and helped run it in its formative years. 4/18 Let My People Go 7 p.m., Free; Utah Film Center: Brewvies, 677 South 200 West, SLC Ruben is a French Jewish gay man (think Pee Wee Herman meets David Sedaris) living in a candycolored world in Finland with his lover Teemu, where Ruben works as a postman. One fateful day, Ruben tries to deliver an envelope of euros to a widower, who refuses to accept it, and collapses on his lawn. Teemu and Ruben fight over what to do with the cash, and Ruben heads to Paris to think and to celebrate Passover with his mother. Back home, Teemu is trying to get to the bottom of things—or should we say the top?—while
Ruben discovers in Paris that a certain someone has missed Ruben more than he knew. 4/23 Art Recession 7 p.m., Free; Utah Film Center: The City Library, 210 East 400 South, SLC Despite its huge impact, art education is often of the first programs to be cut, especially when the economy is hard hit. Through interviews with visionary artists, art curators, and teachers, this film explores the importance of art education, showing how it teaches us to communicate, develops our critical thinking skills, helps us to learn other subjects, expresses our individualism, enriches our culture, builds our society, and ultimately conveys our humanity. 4/24 Grab 7 p.m., Free; Utah Film Center: Utah Museum of Fine Arts, 410 Campus Center Drive, SLC Grab is an intimate portrait of the littledocumented “Grab Day” in the villages of the Laguna Pueblo tribe, who annually throw water and food items from the rooftop of a home to people standing below. A community-wide prayer of abundance, thanks, and renewal, “Grab Day” exists at the intersection of traditional Native and contemporary Western cultures. The film, which is narrated by Parker Posey, follows three families as they prepare for the annual event, chronicling their lives for the year leading up to this day. 4/30 Rent-A-Cat 7 p.m., Free; Utah Film Center: The City Library, 210 East 400 South, SLC Sayoko rents out cats to help lonely people fill the emptiness in their hearts. She walks along the banks of the river with a megaphone promoting her service and her animals in a handcart. It turns out that Sayoko is lonely too, ever since the death of her grandmother. All she has left is her cats. However, one day a young man shows up from Sayoko’s past. He follows her home and suddenly Sayoko’s life seems to completely fall apart.

This deliriously silly musical is satirically based on the notorious 1936 anti-marijuana film meant to discourage pot-smoking in the day’s-youth. Poorly acted and poorly produced, the public-service film was quickly forgotten until rediscovered in the Library of Congress in 1971. The film was re-released as a gag event for pot smokers and rapidly became an underground cult classic for the college midnight movie crowd.
