A Lesson In Wine Stein Eriksen Lodge’s director of wine, Jim Dahlgren, gives advice for wine tasting, pairing and more. by Megan Rule photos by Blake Bellet
ALTHOUGH THE ART OF UNDERSTANDING WINE
is often portrayed as something reserved for seasoned sommeliers and connoisseurs, the basic process of properly choosing, tasting and pairing is something that anyone can learn in a quick Wine 101 session with a sommelier. With just a little guidance, you can start to recognize key differences in flavor, acidity and body and begin to match wines with meals that bring out the best in both. Building even a basic wine vocabulary makes dining more enjoyable and gives you the confidence to explore beyond your usual go-to glass.

Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley is home to Jim Dahlgren, director of wine, who brings years of expertise — and a forever-student mindset. “I would start off simple with someone who wants to expand their wine palate,” he says. “Red or white is always the first question, followed by fruit-forward or drier to narrow it down quite a bit.” (See his Wine-Tasting Dictionary at right for more.) Dahlgren studied through the Court of Master Sommeliers, where the first certification level is a two-day
intensive followed by an exam. The next level requires independent study and blind tastings. Dahlgren advanced to ultimately become a Master of Wine. “We have 2,350 selections of wine at the Stein Eriksen Lodge, and we’re still growing and adding new things all the time,” he says. “There’s so much to know about wine, it’s hard to learn in a short period of time. I’m still learning every day, as it’s a constant process. I regularly research certain regions and years when people have a question about a new variety.”
DAHLGREN’S WINETASTING DICTIONARY Fruit-forward wine: Wine with a fruitier or sweeter perception. Many people say “sweet” when referring to these wines, but the sensation comes from the fruity sugar that lingers on the tongue after a sip. Warmer climates, like Napa, California, tend to produce fruit-forward wines. Examples: Moscato, Riesling, Port Dry wine: Wine with less sugar when the grape is picked, leaving you thirsty or making your mouth water. Dry wines can still taste fruity, but this comes from the aroma rather than the sugar. Most wines are technically dry. Examples: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Albariño Acidity: Arguably the most important aspect of wine when choosing a favorite, pairing with food or selecting a bottle. Acidity creates a mouthwatering effect similar to dry wine. Grapes grown at higher elevations produce higher acidity. Acid complements fat in food. Examples: Vinho Verde, Sangiovese Texture: Light wines feel ripe and tart, while full-bodied wines are light vs. richer and cling to the teeth and ed di bo fulltongue. Examples: A light white is Sauvignon Blanc; a full white is Chardonnay. A light red is Pinot Noir; a full red is a California Cabernet Sauvignon. New World wine: Fruit-forward, riper, lower acidity. Examples: Most wines from Australia, the United States and New Zealand. Old World wine: Higher acidity, drier, more full-bodied. Examples: Most wines from Europe.
28 D I S H I N G P C . C O M
STEPS TO TASTING WINE 1. Smell before sipping. Your sense of smell picks up notes you might miss on the palate. Wine should taste like it smells.
2. Cleanse your palate with something neutral, such as a cracker or water. 3. Swirl the glass to coat the sides and accentuate aromas. 4. Hold the wine in your mouth briefly to assess fruitiness, acidity, texture and tannins. 5. Cleanse your palate again before switching grapes.
DO’S AND DON’TS OF STORING, POURING, TASTING AND PAIRING • DO pair light, crisp white wines with appetizers to cleanse the palate. Fuller whites pair better with richer entrées, especially those with butter or fat. • DON’T assume red only goes with steak. Full-bodied reds suit heartier dishes, but medium-bodied reds, such as Sangiovese or rioja, pair well with poultry. Light reds, such as pinot noir, complement salmon. • DO pair goat cheese with sauvignon blanc — a classic match. • DON’T force wines on people who already know their preferences. If someone loves pinot grigio or cabernet, let them enjoy it.
• DO chill red wine slightly before serving. Heat accentuates alcohol and dulls taste, while over-chilling mutes flavor. A short time in the fridge — about five minutes — is ideal.
• DON’T smell the cork. It usually smells like cork. Instead, inspect it for leakage or mold, which can make wine musty. • DO ensure dessert wines are sweeter than the dessert itself. • DON’T assume higher price means better wine. Trends and media attention can inflate prices. Focus on quality over hype. • DO use the right glass shape.
A pinot noir glass’s bowl captures aromas, while a Champagne flute emphasizes bubbles.
• DON’T overlook Spanish wines. Beyond rioja, regions such as Priorat and Bierzo are producing high-quality, up-andcoming bottles.

With worldly knowledge gained from the Alps to Mexico, Powder’s executive chef brings extensive experience to the kitchen. by Rachel Robison photos by Blake Bellet chef Stuart Roger traded the turquoise waters of Cancún for the snow-dusted peaks of Park City, he brought with him more than two decades of global culinary experience. Now at the helm of the Waldorf Astoria’s signature restaurant Powder, he’s infusing alpine dining with French technique, Mexican flair and a passion for local ingredients. Born and raised in the French Alps, Roger boasts a global background. A graduate of the prestigious École Hôtelière Savoie-Léman in Thononles-Bains, France, he carries with him a deep appreciation for classic French cooking, which he credits as his main inspiration even when exploring other cuisines. After working in Monaco and France, followed by nearly two decades in Mexico, Roger has returned to a mountain setting in Park City. Here, he has been instrumental in reimagining the dining experience at Powder. Having finished his first season, he is building relationships with local vendors and designing Powder’s new winter menus — including an après-ski selection.

WHAT FIRST PIQUED YOUR INTEREST IN COOKING?
I’ve been cooking since I was very young. My father used to work in the wine industry, so I became very involved in the hospitality and gastronomy world; consequently, cooking was a natural path for me. I originally wanted to study history, but then I chose cooking because I thought it would be a more accessible field. As it turned out, it was not so easy. YOU HAVE SUCH A GLOBAL BACKGROUND. WHERE DO YOU DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THE MOST?
I would say French cooking. French cooking is the base, and although I have studied and cooked in many countries, the French style always follows. I also spent nearly two decades in Mexico, which added many flavor profiles to my repertoire. I use a lot of chiles in my recipes and many Mexican cooking techniques. I incorporate a wide range of techniques and diverse inspirations into my recipes, ensuring that my dishes stand out from similar ones at restaurants around Park City. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO MOVE FROM WARM MEXICO TO THE MOUNTAINS IN PARK CITY?
I grew up in the French Alps, so it is more or less similar to Park City. I spent nearly 18
years in Mexico, so I needed a new adventure, and going back to the mountains felt very natural. I feel very much at home here. WE’VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT HOW YOU FOCUS ON USING LOCAL, SEASONAL INGREDIENTS AND APPLY A GLOBAL TWIST. HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT SOURCING LOCALLY, AND DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITES?
I’m a big believer in sourcing locally, especially when there are so many fantastic options close by. My sous chef and I went on a trip to visit a bunch of local suppliers. One of our favorites was the Dendric Estate in Kamas. We were able to try their ciders, and we are actually incorporating them not only into our wine list but also into a new cider-glazed chicken that will debut this winter, which I’m really excited about. We also visited the Heber Valley Creamery in Midway and will be using their cheeses for our new fondue dish, which will also be available on our brand-new après menu this winter. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE PARK CITY PLACES TO FREQUENT WHEN YOU AREN’T COOKING?
I’m not that picky unless it is a very highend restaurant. I love to go to Leonardo’s in Kimball Junction. It’s an authentic Latin grocery store that has a small restaurant tucked inside with the most delicious birria tacos that remind me of Mexico. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS A PERFECT THREE-COURSE MEAL AT POWDER?
We’re really excited about our new winter menu, so I’ll give you my perfect meal from that. For a starter, I’d go for our pan-seared foie gras with a lychee purée and dehydrated Kalamata olives with toasted brioche. For an entrée, our cider-glazed chicken will definitely be the star of the season. It will also
come with a selection of fresh side dishes. And to wrap things up, our new sourdough ice cream is drizzled with local honey and olive oil. One thing to note, though, is that this year, we are really focused on creating more shareable dishes, especially entrées. I love the idea of family-style dining, and we want to incorporate that into our menu and dining experience going forward. You’ll notice that many of our dishes this winter are designed to be paired with others and shared across the table. WE ALWAYS ASK CHEFS: WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU ARE EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT YOU LOVE TO EAT?
Macaroni and cheese. But not the boxed kind. A really rich homemade version with aged cheddar and shaved black truffle on top. Maybe not embarrassing, but definitely decadent.

hen the mountain air turns crisp and the slopes glitter under the midday sun, après isn’t just an
activity — it’s an art form. And few places perfect that ritual quite like the St. Regis Deer Valley, where skiers trade poles for flutes and make a toast to winter from one of Park City’s most stunning terraces. Here, overlooking snow-draped runs and distant peaks at Deer Valley Resort, the après scene sparkles — literally — with daily sabering ceremonies, sushi platters and cocktails as colorful as the mountain sky.
SETTING THE SCENE PERCHED ABOVE THE SLOPES, THE ST. REGIS TERRACE CAFÉ FEELS LIKE A STAGE BUILT FOR CELEBRATION. FLAMES FLICKER FROM SLEEK FIRE PITS AS GUESTS SETTLE INTO CUSHIONED CHAIRS, SKI BOOTS UNLACED AND SUNGLASSES SLIPPED ON. A LIGHT SNOW DRIFTS DOWN, CATCHING IN CHAMPAGNE BUBBLES AND LAUGHTER. SERVERS GLIDE BETWEEN TABLES, BALANCING ARTFUL TRAYS — BUTTERY LOBSTER ROLLS PAIRED WITH GOLDEN FRIES, JEWELTONED SUSHI ROLLS LINED UP LIKE EDIBLE ART AND COCKTAILS BRIGHT ENOUGH TO RIVAL THE SUNSET. THE MOOD IS INDULGENT YET EFFORTLESS. APRÈS HERE ISN’T ABOUT CROWDS OR CHAOS; IT’S ABOUT SAVORING A LITTLE TASTE OF LUXURY BETWEEN MOUNTAIN RUNS, WHERE A CHILLED FLUTE OF CHAMPAGNE REPLACES THE STEAM RISING FROM A THERMOS OF COCOA. THE RITUAL IT’S THE POP HEARD AROUND THE MOUNTAIN. GUESTS GATHER EACH AFTERNOON AS A ST. REGIS SOMMELIER PRESENTS A CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE WRAPPED IN ANTICIPATION. A GLEAMING SABER FLASHES IN THE WINTER LIGHT, AND WITH A SWIFT, CONFIDENT STRIKE, THE CORK RELEASES IN A BURST OF CELEBRATION. CHEERS ECHO ACROSS THE CANYON AS THE FIRST POUR SPARKLES INTO WAITING GLASSES. CHAMPAGNE SABERING HAS LONG BEEN A ST. REGIS TRADITION — A CEREMONIAL NOD TO BOTH HISTORY AND HIGH SPIRITS. THE RITUAL DATES BACK TO NAPOLEONIC CAVALRY OFFICERS WHO USED THEIR SABERS TO CELEBRATE VICTORY. IT’S BECOME THE ULTIMATE APRÈS PERFORMANCE — DRAMATIC, JOYFUL AND BEST ENJOYED FIRESIDE WITH FRIENDS.
Lessons for those who want to learn can be arranged with the resort, too!
ON THE TABLE THIS APRÈS MENU IS FAR FROM PREDICTABLE. CHEFS CURATE A SPREAD THAT BLENDS ALPINE COMFORT WITH GLOBAL FLAIR — A NOD TO PARK CITY’S WORLDLY DINING SCENE. GUESTS MIGHT START WITH BUTTERY NIGIRI AND RAINBOW ROLLS, THEN MOVE TO A LOBSTER ROLL NESTLED IN A TOASTED BRIOCHE BUN WITH A SIDE OF PERFECTLY CRISP FRIES. COCKTAILS TAKE CENTER STAGE TOO: A COBALT-BLUE CREATION CROWNED WITH AN ORCHID, A STRAWBERRY SPRITZ FLECKED WITH MINT AND A SAVORY RESORT SIGNATURE, THE 7452 MARY, TOPPED WITH FOAM AND FLAIR. EACH SIP FEELS CELEBRATORY, MADE FOR SLOW AFTERNOONS THAT TURN INTO GOLDEN HOURS.

The 7452 Mary
Named for the resort’s elevation — 7,452 feet above sea level — this cocktail is a spicy, sophisticated twist on the classic bloody.
1 1/2 ounces High West Vodka 7000’ 4 ounces tomato juice 1/4 ounce lemon juice 1/4 ounce Worcestershire sauce 1/4 ounce cornichon juice 1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish Dash of Sriracha, to taste Pinch of celery salt Pinch of black pepper Pinch of cayenne pepper Lime juice and black lava salt, for the glass rim
For the wasabi-celery foam (espuma): 2 ounces celery juice 1 ounce green apple juice 1/4 teaspoon wasabi powder Small handful fresh parsley leaves
In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine the vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cornichon juice, horseradish, Sriracha, celery salt, black pepper and cayenne. Shake lightly and strain into the prepared glass over ice. In a small blender or foamer, combine the celery juice, green apple juice, wasabi powder and parsley and blend until frothy. Rim a chilled highball glass with lime juice, then dip it into black lava salt. Fill the glass with ice and add the Mary mixture. Spoon a layer of the foam over the drink.

HOW TO RECREATE THE SPARK AT HOME
SET THE SCENE: CREATE YOUR OWN FIRESIDE MOMENT — EVEN IF IT’S JUST THE BACKYARD. CANDLES OR A SMALL FIRE PIT ADD INSTANT APRÈS AMBIANCE. POUR SOMETHING SPARKLING: CHOOSE A CRISP SPARKLING WINE OR A LOCAL CIDER.
You can find out how to saber your own bottle if you look for the “Lesson” story in our Dishing Park City issue 3, found on dishingpc.com. MIX A MENU: THINK ELEGANT BUT UNFUSSY — SUSHI ROLLS, SHRIMP COCKTAIL OR A WARM BAGUETTE WITH BRIE AND HONEY. DRESS THE PART: APRÈS CHIC IS ABOUT LAYERING — COZY KNITS, APRÈS BOOTS AND A DASH OF GLAM. INVITE A LITTLE DRAMA: CUE UP MUSIC, POP A BOTTLE AND CELEBRATE THE SEASON — NO LIFT TICKET REQUIRED.

BIG DIPPER
Say Melt Cheese dishes from the Swiss Alps have long been après-ski staples, and Park City is no exception. Fondue and raclette are readily found around town — and every season brings a new favorite. Fireside Dining at Deer Valley offers one of the most dramatic raclette services in town. This winter-only Empire Canyon Lodge tradition burns through 900 wheels of raclette melted by the fire all season. Goldener Hirsch is fondue central. Its fourcheese dip comes with apples, grapes, cornichons and broccoli. Add wagyu beef for the ultimate upgrade. The Blue Boar Inn offers a porter and smoked gouda fondue worth discovering. The dip is served with broccolini, sausage, shishito peppers and a baguette.
P H O T O P R O V I D E D B Y D E E R VA L L E Y R E S O R T
It’s officially comfort food season — and we’re leaning into it, one gooey, golden bite at a time. Whether you’re grabbing lunch before your next ski run, seeking an après-ski snack or rewarding yourself with a melty masterpiece at dinner, Park City is oozing with cheese-filled favorites. From bubbling fondue to crisped-toperfection grilled cheese, here’s where to get your fix.
FIRESIDE DINING AT DEER VALLEY RESORT
Hidden Ace, a speakeasy at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley, puts a local spin on fondue. The Ace Fondue blends hazelnuts, lemon-sage cheddar, Gruyère and dark Utah beer. Choose pork, beef, shrimp or lamb skewers for dipping. Low Spark Fondue brings the experience to your home with private parties featuring three courses: cheese fondue, an entrée and chocolate fondue for dessert.
Starting Cheesy Cheese makes the perfect appetizer — whether melted, stuffed or baked. These small plates are ideal for sharing. Courchevel Bistro pairs Park City Creamery brie with crostini, marmalade and green apple slices. Twisted Fern wraps brie in puff pastry and serves it with a seasonal chutney and arugula.

Butcher’s Chop House & Bar offers dates stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in brown-sugar-cured bacon. Kita at the Pendry serves Japanese-style cheesy corn — mozzarella, Parmesan, nori goma seasoning and sweet corn. High West Refectory in Wanship makes a Southerninspired baked pimento dip with High West Double Rye and sharp cheddar, served with pickled jalapeño relish and tortilla chips. Or, if you’re in more of a Mexican mood, don’t miss the smoked chicken nachos with Hatch chile cheddar sauce. High West Saloon has its own pimento appetizer — a house-made pretzel served with High West Double Rye pimento cheese, pickles and mustard. Dos Olas at the Pendry serves queso fundido made with Oaxacan and asadero cheeses, plus chorizo. You’ll also find versions at Chimayo and Don Gallo.

BUONA VITA
Brasserie 7452 at the St. Regis Deer Valley serves a mac and cheese with smoked gouda, alpine cheeses and toasted panko. Empire Canyon Grill at Deer Valley uses raclette, Gruyère and bacon for its Mountain Mac. Freshie’s Lobster Co. adds fresh Maine lobster to a cheddar-Gruyère sauce for its lobster mac and cheese. Hearth and Hill serves truffle mac and cheese with Gruyère, bacon, breadcrumbs and chives. It’s listed as shareable (but we won’t judge if you don’t share). Buona Vita specializes in cheesy pastas and pizzas, including quattro formaggi fettuccine with gorgonzola, provolone, fontina and Parmesan. High West Saloon makes mac and cheese with bacon, cheddar and Gruyère, topped with an everythingpretzel crumble.
Between the Bread Sometimes only a gooey grilled sandwich will do.
TWISTED FERN
Deer Valley’s Chute Eleven serves a splurge-worthy Ossetra caviar grilled cheese with lobster, caviar, crème fraîche and apple — it’s decadent and worth every penny. Silver Lake Lodge offers two grilled cheese sandwiches — one with cheddar and mozzarella, the other with barbecue pulled pork added. Don’t skip a side of cheese fries. Big Dipper on Main Street makes Karleen’s Uptown Turkey Grilled Cheese with turkey, cheddar, Gruyère, goat cheese, bacon, arugula and tomato on sourdough, served with tomato soup. Fletcher’s, also on Main Street, won Best in State for its short-rib grilled cheese with Beehive Promontory cheddar, roasted garlic aioli, arugula and tomato. Don Gallo serves gooey breakfast quesadillas in five varieties, from ham and cheese to a Greek version with olives, spinach and feta.

Get High (Tea & Chocolate)
Two elegant Utah hotels turn winter afternoons into artful escapes.
by Rachel Robison
When the temperature drops, après-ski takes on many forms —
sometimes it’s champagne and oysters by the fire, other times it’s something softer, slower and steeped in ritual. Two local luxury hotels are giving the après tradition a decadent twist this winter. At The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City, high tea becomes an elegant midday affair with fine china and finger sandwiches. Up the canyon in Deer Valley, Grand Hyatt redefines the art of warming up with “high chocolate” — high tea meets a theatrical, torch-melted spin on the Parisian hot chocolate. Whether your ski boots are parked by the fire or your pinkie’s in the air, both experiences promise the same reward: pure, cozy indulgence. DISHINGPC.COM

SOMETIMES the best
High Tea at The Grand America
après doesn’t need a slope — just a steaming cup and a little sparkle.
Elevate your après game this season and channel your inner Eloise with midday high tea at The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. The stunning hotel offers a daily traditional English high tea service in its lobby lounge. Sink into an oversized velvet armchair, take in the views of the courtyard, and prepare to indulge. Sip on an impeccably curated selection of teas for every mood and caffeine level. White and green teas include sencha, white petal, jasmine pearl and oolong. If relaxation is your goal, head straight for the herbal “meadow” blend — a soothing infusion of chamomile, hyssop, rose petals and linden flowers. Our favorite? The No. 555 Dandelion Chai, created exclusively for The Grand America. This house blend delights with roasted dandelion root, rooibos, cinnamon, rose petals and coconut flakes. While sipping, enjoy tiers of treats, including daily rotating house-made petits fours and savory finger sandwiches curated by Executive Pastry Chef Xavier
Baudinet. Spiced apple panna cotta and morello cherry almond cakes satisfy the sweet tooth, while smoked salmon, cucumber and egg salad sandwiches on house-made bread offer savory balance. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. This season, The Grand America adds a festive touch to its signature afternoon tea with themed experiences. From November 21 to January 4, the holiday tea returns with
58 D I S H I N G P C . C O M
seasonal pastries and sweets ($52 for adults, $37 for children ages 4–12). During regular service, afternoon tea is offered Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Friday through Monday from noon to 4 p.m. ($47.50 for adults, $27 for children). Upgrade to the Grand Tradition Tea, which includes imported and domestic cheeses, or add a glass of sparkling wine for a celebratory twist.
High Chocolate at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley Last winter, a new après ritual made its debut slopeside at Deer Valley. At the new Grand Hyatt Deer Valley, guests can ski directly to Remington Hall and settle into the Living Room lounge for the High Chocolate Experience — a theatrical, indulgent take on hot chocolate inspired by the famed version at Angelina in Paris. Crafted by Chef Viktor Merenyi using locally roasted Nicaraguan cacao beans, each hot chocolate is topped with Chantilly cream, steamed milk
and a cloud of cotton candy and melted tableside with a warm torch pour. Guests can also opt for a frozen hot chocolate (with a boozy add-on available). Enjoy tiered trays of sweet and savory treats, including hazelnut chocolate éclairs and freshly baked cookies. It’s a scene designed for both kids and adults — the perfect reward after a day on the slopes. The High Chocolate Experience is priced at $25 per person, with optional handmade pastries for an additional $18. It’s served daily from 2:30–4 p.m., and reservations are required 24 hours in advance (RemingtonHallDV.com).
How to Do High Tea Like a Pro Dress the part: Afternoon tea isn’t formal, but chic resort wear fits the setting. Pace yourself: Start savory, move to sweet. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Upgrade it: The Grand Tradition package adds cheeses worth lingering over. Don’t skip the chai: The No. 555 Dandelion blend is the hotel’s signature sip. Reservations: Required for themed teas; book early for the holidays.
HIGH TEA at The
Grand America takes place in this lovely room.
Insider Tips for High Chocolate Best seat: By the fire — the cotton candy melt looks magical in the glow. Make it boozy: Ask for the signature Spiked Frozen Hot Chocolate. Don’t rush it: The torch-pour presentation is part of the fun. Bring the kids: It’s the sweetest après treat they’ll ever earn. Reserve ahead: Spots are limited; book your spot the day before by 11 a.m. DISHINGPC.COM

CHECK Just because the snow starts to fall doesn’t mean Park City’s music scene goes quiet — it just changes venue. The same mountains that echo with outdoor summer concerts trade their sunshine stages for cozy bars, candlelit lounges and late-night jam sessions. By spring, the beat moves back outside — but if your après vibe leans more bass drop than bubbly pop, here’s where to find live tunes all winter long.

THE SPUR BAR & GRILL MAIN STREET One of the few venues that hosts live music every night of the week, The Spur Bar & Grill is part of the restaurant group that includes 350 Main, the Star Bar and Big Dipper. We love that you can always count on finding live music at The Spur Bar & Grill. WHEN TO GO: Live music starts at 7 p.m. weekdays and 9 p.m. on weekends, so you’ve got time for après drinks before staking out your spot for the show. WHAT TO EXPECT: Local, regional and national acts ranging from rock and country to bluegrass and cover bands. WHAT TO WEAR: Mountain casual is the name of the game. Ski clothes, cowboy boots — anything goes. WHAT TO DRINK: Whiskey drinkers should try the Spur Whiskey, an exclusive label from Alpine Distilling made just for The Spur. WHAT TO EAT: The Spur Burger, made with an eight-ounce wagyu beef patty topped with bacon and American cheese, is the ultimate bar dinner.

WHEN TO GO: The piano is played daily starting at 6:30 p.m. WHAT TO EXPECT: A celebratory atmosphere with a soft piano soundtrack. WHAT TO WEAR: Officially, it’s “Park City casual,” but you won’t be overdressed if you feel like sporting something special. WHAT TO DRINK: The Prime Manhattan is made with Eight Settlers bourbon, Angostura bitters and sweet vermouth. WHAT TO EAT: You can’t go wrong with any of the steaks — just make sure to save room for the molten chocolate cake. INSIDER TIP: If you have underage diners in your party, request a table near the piano bar. The sound carries, so even if you can’t sit in the bar, you can still enjoy the music.

S
ince her earliest family memories
of dining at Adolph’s and having weekend brunches at Stein Eriksen Lodge, Chloe Johnson Martino has always valued the dining scene in Park City. The 30-year-old dynamo is a real estate agent and social media maven, which also often makes her a part-time tour guide to the city. It’s a good thing she’s from here — so taking people around and sharing her favorite places comes easily. For Dishing, Martino has embarked on a social media endeavor to dine at every restaurant on Main Street. Every Friday, she shares about the experience on Instagram at @dishingpc and @chloesellsparkcity. She was surprised by how many she had never been to and already has some new favorites. “Main Street is such a movable feast. It is an all-inclusive experience for people. There are so many fun ways to enhance your experience in Park City. You can stumble into an art show or live music at The Spur,” she says. Because she is dining out so much, we wanted to find out more about some of her favorite recommendations. DISHINGPC.COM

ONE THING you may
not know about Martino is that she is also the lead singer for a band that plays at events all over the country.
What are a few of your favorite food memories from growing up in Park City? For my family, Adolph’s Restaurant was home for every birthday, holiday and celebration! There is no way to describe how they shaped cuisine and hospitality in our community, leaving every Park-ite unexpectedly drooling over their famous escargot. For special weekends, Stein Eriksen’s Sunday buffet was (and still is!) a classic. I still recommend this to visitors I meet here in town for an incredible family-friendly experience. What are some of your top recommendations for dining in Park City right now? If you want delicious duck, I was blown away by Twisted Fern’s duck entrée. It is better than I’ve had in France, with full farm-to-table flair.

MARTINO has many family
memories from dinners at Adolph's Restaurant (the current location of Tupelo).
For brunch with the girls, the parents or my thoughts, my choice is always Five5eeds. If I’m feeling healthy, I order their savory shakshuka. If I’m feeling stressed, it’s the Chicken Vodka Parmy Sando with a side of no regrets. And a new favorite that is coming in hot on the scene is the authentic and delicious Mumbai House at the bottom of Main. My advice? Chicken tikka masala — and don’t hold the butter on the naan. You are currently craving ... If you see me leaving the secret Chip cookie window on Main Street with a large bag, no, you didn’t … What do you love about the food scene in Park City? The resort hospitality! Everyone who lives in Park City is here because they love it, and that really shows in the way we share our food and town experiences with visitors and locals. You’ll find experiences here that you can’t get anywhere else, from sleigh-ride dinners to whiskey ranch brunches, that are the heartbeat of our culture here in the Wild West. What are three places you always recommend to visitors in the winter? Number one, two and three is Fireside Dining at Deer Valley’s Empire Canyon Lodge. A quadruple buffet extravaganza is prepared by Deer Valley Resort’s world-famous chefs, including raclette melted by the fire — and a sleigh ride under the stars whenever you choose. I recommend it after dinner but before the chocolate fondue buffet. Okay, I’ll go for two. High West Saloon is a must-visit for out-of-towners to experience the true cowboy lifestyle, with incredible food and great ambience.
And a bonus: if you’re feeling wild and ready to crush the best chicken sandwich in America, stop by Pretty Bird Chicken — and good luck in your swimsuit in the hot tub later. But it’s so worth it. Any “musts” in Salt Lake City? There is a very small and incredible Italian restaurant called Veneto, with an intimate atmosphere and traditional Italian classics at their best. When it comes to après-ski, we can find you at ... ? Mention that you read this, and I’ll buy you a drink at the Veuve Clicquot yurt at the Montage. Any tips for dining on the mountain? Embrace the life-changing experience of the Montage’s Slope Stream smash burger with corn and jalapeños on the burger. It is so unexpected, and I’ve been dreaming of it ever since. What is your guilty pleasure? My guilty pleasure is the frittata and a long lunch conversation with my favorite waitress, Lavinia, at Bartolo’s — a real locals’ spot where I have the menu memorized and it is perfectly consistent every time. If you are showing a property, you might pick up a to-go lunch from ... ? This is easy. They know my name and my order. I would grab the chicken laksa soup from Harvest. It is delicious, easy and healthy.

ASHLEY GOULD

In a world increasingly thrown off-kilter by division and distraction, Ashley Gould is on a mission to bring us back to the table — literally. As the founder of Âme Atendre, a Park City-based brand showcasing what she calls “gatherware,” Gould creates thoughtfully designed, small-batch pieces that transform everyday moments into something extraordinary. Her philosophy is simple: fewer, better things — and deeper, better conversations. “During COVID, I think we forgot how to spend time together,” Gould says. “And even before that, it felt like we’d stopped knowing how to respectfully disagree. Gathering used to be where those conversations happened.” That belief is at the heart of Âme Atendre. The brand’s crystal tumblers — hand-blown in the Czech Republic — are perfectly imperfect, each one unique. The ceramics are microwavesafe and designed for daily use. Even the water glasses are deliberately stackable, as beautiful in hand as they are on the shelf. This is the intersection of art and utility: pieces that invite people not just to drink or dine, but to linger, connect and talk. But Âme Atendre isn’t only about the table; it’s about safeguarding what matters. Gould is passionate about small-batch production, artisan craft and PHOTOS BY BLAKE BELLET
ÂME ATENDRE
sustainability — an antidote to the massproduced sameness that fills most kitchen cabinets. “People say they want better quality, but then they’re not always willing to pay for it,” she says. “When you buy something that’s been made by hand, you’re not just buying an object. You’re protecting a history of skill and ensuring that artisans can make a living.” Each piece, Gould believes, tells a story. “You can have a deeper relationship with an object when it’s not perfect,” she says. Uniqueness is an invitation to presence, to deeper appreciation. It’s a philosophy inspired in part by design historian Glenn Adamson’s mantra of “fewer, better things.” Gould sees this approach as both soulful and practical. “We don’t need 50 glasses,” she says. “We need five or eight really nice ones. Mass consumption isn’t good for the planet, and it’s not good for our souls, either.” Âme Atendre’s mission goes beyond aesthetics or function; it’s about the role these objects play in life’s full emotional spectrum. “Everything today is about joy and happiness,” Gould says. “But life isn’t just that. It’s grief, anxiety, anger and joy, too. These pieces are designed to accompany you through all of it. They’re there for the celebrations and the hard conversations.” That belief inspired Gould’s podcast, On the Table with Ashley, where she invites guests to talk about the kinds of things we should be putting on the table even when they’re not easy, cultivating conversations that matter. With every hand-blown glass and perfectly balanced plate, Âme Atendre invites us to gather, slow down and connect — not just with one another, but with the objects we choose to bring into our lives.

When it comes to the most flavorful herbs and vegetables, success begins long before harvest. It starts beneath the surface, at the roots. Circle Soil — a Utah-based venture — is using organic, sustainable ingredients to give gardeners and houseplant enthusiasts maximized growing power. Founders Tom Raymond and Alan Spadafora didn’t set out to reinvent soil. While working in wildfire mitigation and forest health — and collaborating with Utah State University on biochar production — they discovered a way to transform woodland waste into a premium, sustainable product. Biochar, as Spadafora explains, is essentially what’s left after a campfire: the black chunks at the bottom. “It’s a highly concentrated form of carbon that can last in the soil for hundreds of years,” he says. By creating it through a controlled process, the pair realized they could ALAN harness biochar’s ability to SPADAFORA improve soil while keeping valuable material out of landfills. That realization became Circle Soil, a company rooted in both science and sustainability. Biochar is at the heart of everything they do.

releasing them slowly as plants need them. In an era of hotter, drier seasons driven by climate change, moisture retention has never been more critical. Unlike many commercial soil brands that rely on unsustainable ingredients, Circle Soil sources biochar locally and increasingly ties its production directly to wildfire mitigation projects — turning a hazard into a resource. Just as important as what Circle Soil includes is what it leaves out. “A lot of cheaper soil mixes use peat moss,” Raymond says. “We don’t. Peat harvesting isn’t sustainable.” Instead, the team blends organic Utah compost, volcanic minerals from southern Utah, recycled expanded shale from Rockport Reservoir, worm castings for natural nutrients and coconut coir — an upcycled by-product of the coconut industry that replaces peat moss. The result is a nutrient-dense, waterretentive mix designed not just to feed plants, but to protect the planet. And while Circle Soil falls into the premium category, Raymond and Spadafora emphasize accessibility. Compared to other premium brands, their pricing hovers near the bottom. “We want everyone to have access to quality, sustainable soil,” Spadafora says. Circle Soil products are available at Park City Gardens and seasonally at the Park City Farmers Market, Millcreek Public Market and community events. The company continues to grow, fueled by a mission to close the loop between waste and abundance. For Raymond and Spadafora, it’s about more than what’s in the bag. It’s about turning forest by-products into flourishing plants and gardens, one handful of soil at a time.

In Park City, where snow-dusted mountains meet bustling après-ski scenes, a small business with a big heart is redefining the art of gathering. Sweets & Cheese began in 2017 as Angela Moschetta’s way of rooting herself more deeply in the place she calls home. Inspiration came easily. “Growing up Italian, I watched my parents quickly pull together spreads of homemade meats, incredible cheeses, olives, cakes and such whenever company dropped by,” she says. Grazing was not just a way of eating, but a way of connecting — and soon Moschetta found herself recreating the same experience for friends after a long day on the slopes. The need was clear: ANGELA Park City was hungry for MOSCHETTA thoughtful, beautiful grazing spreads. What began with cheese boards has blossomed into something bigger, though the spirit remains the same. Today, Sweets & Cheese is known for three signature offerings: showstopping charcuterie and grazing boards, elegant allnatural cakes often adorned with fresh flowers and baked goods made without seed oils, available both wholesale and through The Market at Park City. Now, with the opening of a retail kiosk PHOTOS BY NEGLEY STOCKMAN

inside The Market, the dream has expanded further. Shoppers stop for pizza al taglio or Italian deli sandwiches stacked on housemade focaccia. There are quiches with tender crusts, crisp salads with vibrant dressings, pastries that practically demand a cappuccino and Kobe beef hot dogs wrapped in buttery croissant dough. For anyone rushing home after work, the grab-and-go case brims with mini cakes, sides, salads and savory quiches, making dinner both easier and better. “It’s always been my goal to offer topquality food in Park City at prices lower than chains charge for lesser quality,” Moschetta says. “I’m proud we’re doing it now. We are feeding Park City’s workforce an affordable lunch every day and setting them up to create an easy and affordable home-cooked meal in the evening.” That commitment starts with ingredients. Whenever possible, produce comes from Utah farms, whose growing season is short but sweet. Meats and cheeses travel from further afield, chosen from artisans who elevate their craft to an art form — Olympia Provisions in Portland, Salumeria Biellese in New York, Smoking Goose in Indianapolis. Cheeses arrive from Europe despite tariffs, because nothing less will do. Each board is layered with these treasures, accented by fruit, nuts and seasonal surprises — a canvas where color, flavor and texture play together in harmony. The beauty of a grazing spread, Moschetta says, lies in its inclusivity. “This style of eating has been around in every culture since the dawn of time, and it offers the kind of flexibility that works in a group,” she says. “Some guests nibble, others fill a plate. Vegetarians, vegans, keto followers and

omnivores all find a seat at the same table without fuss or explanation. And of course, it’s festive — who doesn’t love variety and the chance to try something new?” That’s why these boards shine at holiday gatherings or après-ski parties, when good food and good company are the only things that matter. Though the spreads look like art, they’re also accessible. On weekdays, customers can order a board and pick it up while shopping at The Market or the nearby liquor store; on weekends, only a day’s notice is required. No two boards are ever the same, and that’s part of the fun. “It’s
a little art therapy every time,” Moschetta says. “We take pride in the presentation, and I think it shows.” Sweets & Cheese has grown from Moschetta’s treasured memories and desire for connection into a community staple, serving food that’s generous, approachable and memorable. Whether it’s a lavish platter for a holiday party, a quick sandwich on a workday lunch break or a cake dressed in flowers to mark a milestone, this Park City business reminds us what food is meant to be: abundant, beautiful and best when shared.

Behind the Bar with Arianna Hone High West Saloon’s lead bartender spills the tea.

f you’ve noticed the seasonal themes on High West’s cocktail menu, you’re not alone. Last winter brought an Alice in Wonderland twist — complete with ingredients like mushrooms and Vegemite — while summer channeled camping with outdoorsy flavors and illustrations. As much as regulars look forward to the first powder day of the season, they also anticipate the debut of the new Saloon menu. We sat down with Arianna Hone, lead bartender at High West Saloon, to discuss how themes are chosen, ingredients are sourced and cocktails are crafted to please every palate. Like any successful leader, Hone is quick to emphasize that it’s all about teamwork. Her role, she says, is to “get the bartenders’ ideas across the finish line and onto the menu.”

A self-described history nerd, Hone says that’s part of what drew her to bartending. But there’s much more to the job than mixing drinks. A typical day starts with administrative tasks — scheduling, emails, research — before a stop at the market to shop for produce. At the Saloon, preparation begins with a two-hour shift where the team collaborates on syrups and ingredients. “A good bar works just like a good kitchen — everyone pitches in,” she says. Climbing the ranks at a whiskey saloon may seem an unlikely path for someone with a Muslim background. Hone’s parents immigrated from Morocco, and she grew up in Utah. While her extended family, whom she visits often, knows she works in hospitality, they aren’t aware she tends bar. Her own hospitality career began in Jackson Hole as a snowboard instructor and banquet server before she moved to Hawaii, where she fell in love with bartending’s freedom, flexibility and creativity. She returned to Utah in 2018 and joined High West. Hone admits that Utah’s liquor laws make bartending “100 times more challenging,” but
82 D I S H I N G P C . C O M
she sees that as an advantage. “It makes you think outside the box and get creative with ingredients,” she says. Past winter menus have featured Douglas fir brandy and even Biscoff cookie syrup. For first-time visitors or whiskey novices, Hone suggests the Gold Rush — a bourbon cocktail shaken with honey and lemon. “The lemon and honey take away the bitterness of whiskey that often overwhelms new drinkers,” she says. Another crowd-pleaser is the High West lemonade, a refreshing summer option. Of course, whiskey may be the star, but the Saloon experience goes beyond the glass. The historic building — on the National Register of Historic Places — dates to 1907. Après-ski favorites like deviled eggs, alpine charcuterie and jerk chicken wings are paired with High West cocktails. Hone’s go-to “girl dinner” is the Caesar salad, french fries and a House Old Fashioned. Located at the base of the Quittin’ Time run, High West is the only ski-in distillery in the United States. It’s also one of the most popular après spots in Park City, with lines often stretching outside. While reservations aren’t taken, Hone advises guests not to be intimidated. “On a powder day, there might be a two- or three-hour wait, but you can put your name on the list, explore Main Street and get a text when your table is ready,” she says. Even on her nights off, Hone often ends up back at the Saloon. A typical evening might start with pizza and salad at Matilda before dessert and a nightcap at High West — perhaps the decadent Grillswith, made with Krispy Kreme donuts, vanilla ice cream and Rendezvous Rye caramel. When she isn’t behind the bar, Hone can be found outdoors with her dog, Beau. From skiing in Summit Park to swimming in the Uintas,
she thrives on Park City’s play-first mindset. “There’s a palpable culture here that prioritizes play over work and a big hustle culture that makes it happen,” she says. Whatever the season brings, one thing is certain: High West’s cocktails will be as creative as the community they serve. 5 FA C T S A B O U T ARIANNA HONE: A TYPICAL NIGHT OUT INCLUDES:
Pizza and salad at Matilda, followed by a nightcap and dessert at High West. TWO DRINKS SHE RECOMMENDS THE MOST:

by Megan Rule photos by Negley Stockman it was a go-to spot for locals and visitors, Park City Roadhouse Grill helped put Utah’s brewing scene on the map. Long before craft beer became a buzzword, this place was making history as Utah’s first postProhibition brewery and brewpub. Opened in 1989 under the name Squatters Roadhouse Grill in downtown Salt Lake City, and later expanding to Park City in 2006, Roadhouse has grown from a bold experiment into a beloved mountain-town staple. Today, it continues to serve as an icon in Park City — a place where travelers and locals alike gather for good food, good beer and a taste of Utah history. Jeff Polychronis, chief operating officer of PRC Restaurant Group, and Rick Seven, marketing director for Salt Lake Brewing Company, sat down with Dishing to share how the restaurant’s legacy, people and purpose remain as strong as ever.

until 2006. That year, the site was reborn as Squatters Roadhouse Grill, and in 2023, it was rebranded as Park City Roadhouse Grill. “We decided to rebrand to make the space more connected to the community,” Polychronis says. “It’s a good ‘name droppable’ thing, and one of the few breakfast places that is still long-standing, fun fact.”
WHEN THE BREWERY first opened, to get around Utah laws, marketing used to have to say "cold bee." Some photos on the wall at the restaurant (below left) tell the history of Roadhouse's family origins.
A Historic Start “It used to be that you couldn’t even advertise having beer,” Polychronis recalls. “There was a whole Supreme Court case about having alcohol ads, to the point where the day alcohol was allowed in Utah, the Utahans called it ‘Emancipation Day.’ The code sign was ‘Cold Bee’ to advertise beer, and there were even secret alcohol clubs where you had to have a temporary member card.” The original Squatters Pub Brewery still sits
86 D I S H I N G P C . C O M
on West Broadway in Salt Lake City, where it launched — at a time when the city’s dining and nightlife scenes were practically barren. “There were fewer than 50 breweries across the country, and all were clustered near the East and West coasts,” Polychronis says. “As a by-product of a bad real estate market, and two guys who didn’t know any better, we opened a brewpub in Utah.” The concept took off immediately. Over the next decade, Polychronis and his partner Peter Cole expanded, opening additional locations and even securing a coveted spot at the airport. By 2006, they brought the brewpub concept to Park City — returning to a piece of family history. From Mt. Air Café to Roadhouse The Park City location sits on the site of the old Mt. Air Café, a beloved diner opened by Polychronis’s father and uncle in 1976. After a car accident caused a gas meter explosion that destroyed the building, the family rebuilt and reopened, keeping the café alive
Brewing Culture Utah’s beer scene has evolved considerably since those early 3.2% ABV days. While the restaurant’s roots are firmly in brewing, Park City Roadhouse has adapted to new tastes — from cocktails to no- and low-alcohol options. “We’re noticing a lot less beer drinking in general, especially after hard seltzers came out,” Seven says. “We created more of a cocktail menu and are offering some low- and no-ABV beers on the menu to appeal to larger crowds.” Still, beer remains part of its DNA. Polychronis recalls the infamous “St. Provo Girl” can — a cheeky Utah take on a German beer label that stirred international attention, eventually becoming “Provo Girl” in time for the 2002 Olympics. Beyond the Beer The food menu has evolved, too. While the burgers and buffalo wings are still bestsellers, other dishes — from Thai yellow curry to jambalaya — reflect a creative, eclectic edge.
PARK CITY ROADHOUSE GRILL’S STOUT BROWNIES 15 cups brownie mix (Ghirardelli recommended) 2 cups vegetable oil 2 cups water 2 cups Top of Main Swede Alley Stout 2 cups liquid eggs 2 cups chocolate chips (if not included in mix)

FAST FACTS: PARK CITY ROADHOUSE GRILL FOUNDED: 1989
CLAIM TO FAME:
Utah’s first post-Prohibition brewpub and a pioneer in the state’s modern beer scene.
SIGNATURE DISHES:
Bison burger made with humane, grass-fed Niman Ranch meat; Thai yellow curry; jambalaya; and the indulgent brownie dessert.
CAN’T-MISS DRINKS:
The exclusive Spur Whiskey collaboration, local High West cocktails and a rotating lineup of craft and low-ABV beers.
SWEET FINISH:
“Beeramisu” and bourbon bread pudding are longtime customer favorites.
“For a brewpub, we offer a lot of eclectic things,” Seven says. “We try to offer a few healthier bowl options and follow dietary trends. We’re constantly reevaluating our menu to ensure we’re offering good food.” And the desserts? Iconic. “The brownie is a crowd favorite,” Seven says, adding that the “Beeramisu” and bourbon bread pudding are top sellers. Locally Rooted Park City Roadhouse remains deeply tied to its community — not just through its legacy but its people. Many staff members have been there for decades, including a chef of 35 years and Utah’s first female brewer. “This is a very local-forward location,” Seven says. “Greg Schirf, who opened Wasatch Brewery, actually eats breakfast here all the time. We see a lot of the same people coming in on a regular basis.”

VIBE:
Casual, family-friendly and unmistakably local — a gathering spot for lunch or dinner and drinks, or a hearty breakfast.
The restaurant also sources locally whenever possible, featuring meat from Niman Ranch and spirits from distilleries such as High West, Proverbial Spirits, Sugar House Distillery and Ogden’s Own. “At the end of the day, we try to support local as much as possible,” Seven says. “We like to support local, and the locals and tourists in turn support us, which is really cool.” From its rebellious roots to its modern reinvention, Park City Roadhouse Grill remains a Utah original — a place that honors the past while raising a glass to the future.

Wine Tasting: While wine may not be your specific draw to the area, it should be on your radar to experience while you’re there. You’ll find over 20 small, charming vineyards just a short and scenic drive from downtown, with most located in the Verde Valley, known for sunny days and cooler nights — good conditions for growing grapes such as petite sirah, grenache, tempranillo and viognier. Start your afternoon with a French bistro-inspired lunch and a tasting at Page Springs Cellars. Salads, flatbread pizzas and more pair perfectly with a wine tasting while you look out over Oak Creek Canyon. Try a flight or select one of the suggested pairings for your chosen dishes.

You can land at Cove Mesa Vineyard next, which is just down the road. This familyrun vineyard has earned 31 medals at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, which is particularly impressive given that the label is only five years old. They offer a long list of reds, whites and rosés to sip on. Sunrise Yoga: There’s nothing quite like starting your day with a serene, spiritual and scenic sunrise yoga session. Aumbase Yoga will guide you through an awakening class in one of the most energetic vortex spots in Sedona’s Coconino National Forest. The view is enchanting and the poses will leave you balanced and energized for the day. Hiking and Mountain Biking: There are over 350 documented hiking trails and almost 100 mountain bike trails in the area. Many popular trailheads are within 30 minutes of downtown Sedona. A few of the iconic hikes include
Go early to avoid the crowds, and consider riding the Sedona Shuttle to some of the nearby trailheads so you don’t have to worry about parking.

Devil’s Bridge and Cathedral Rock. You could easily do both of these in a day, as they are short (about 5 miles total if you do both) but steep. If you fly, as we did, you can rent bikes from Thunder Mountain Bikes, which is conveniently located near a popular trailhead, allowing you to ride right to it.
DELIGHT: Shop in winding courtyards, discover live art demonstrations and unwind with the ultimate spa afternoon.
DEVIL’S BRIDGE
TLAQUEPAQUE ARTS & SHOPPING VILLAGE
Shopping: Styled in the spirit of a traditional Mexican village, Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village offers over 45 shops, 19 galleries, restaurants and more to explore. You’ll be charmed by vine-covered archways, stone walkways, fountains and courtyards scattered throughout the village. Browse galleries, often featuring live art demos, and niche shops offering gifts like spices and candles. Musicians are often performing on the plazas, and there are plenty of spots to sit back and take it all in. Grab an ice cream treat or a drink from The Chai Spot, and don’t miss the mesmerizing collection of wind sculptures at Renee Taylor Gallery. Spa Time: After all the hiking and biking, you’ll want to relax. Luckily, Sedona is known for having some of the nicest spa resorts in the West, and the one at Amara Resort and Spa is conveniently located in town and offers a plethora of treatments to choose from. Consider a package, such as the Amara Signature Duo — an amazing three hours of massage and facial treatments. Complete your self-care with some time in the steam room.

Tapas are popular for a good reason. They always encourage socializing; the focus is not on a full meal set before you but on the ability to share many tasty plates throughout one dinner. 710 Bodega on Main fills that void for Park City. A summer vacation to Spain inspired restaurateurs Nicholas Smurthwaite and Paola Bello to open this modern-style Spanish tapas bar that mixes traditional plates with new twists. Just steps from Main Street, this lively outpost is a superb choice for a night out, whether that’s a large gathering or an intimate date. The concept is simple: good food, good drinks and great service in a relaxing setting. Favorites include clams, calamari, lamb lollipops, croquettes and the only paella in town. A healthy wine list includes several Spanish wines. The rustic and welcoming vibe is achieved through the use of wood planks and metal adorning the restaurant — it’s both hip and cozy at the same time.

If you’re craving something hot, try one of their house-made ramen noodle soups. While Yuki Yama specializes in having a large variety of fresh and exotic fish — like sustainably farmed bluefin tuna and Santa Barbara uni — traditional dishes such as sushi rolls, tempura and house-made gyoza are a great way for less adventurous diners to enjoy Yuki Yama’s diverse menu.

Over 2 feet in diameter and beginning with a whopping 3 pounds of dough, the pizza is then loaded with about 4 pounds of cheese and other toppings. The Grand Daddy, in fact, hardly fits out the front door! Locals and visitors flock to this fast-casual spot for fresh flavors and come back for the stellar customer service. The dough and sauces are made in-house, and even the cheese is shredded and vegetables are chopped on-site. Favorites include the Nasty Boy (meat pizza with a choice of two vegetables) and the Pesto Chicken (chicken, tomato, mushroom). Don’t forget to ask about delivery. Smaller pies and slices are also available, alongside gluten- and dairy-free choices and new pasta options. Even the crust is customizable — hand-tossed, thin and thick are on the menu.

From beer-battered onion rings to snacks like their legendary wings and nachos to satisfying rice bowls and a bratwurst on a pretzel bun, all the dishes complement the rotating beer menu. Have a flight if you can’t decide on one, but a menu of house cocktails is equally impressive for anyone craving a drink instead. Park City Brewing is open for lunch and dinner every day and even a little earlier on Sunday at 11 for brunch items too (who can resist fried chicken and waffles?).
