In the quarter-century that I’ve been writing about Utah’s food and drink scene, I’ve seen far too many restaurants come and go. And there are plenty I miss. A jaunt down memory lane conjures up a multitude of meals and people I wish I could break bread with one more time.
I miss the late John Williams and Tom Sieg, and I miss Gastronomy Inc., the founders’ flagship restaurant, The New Yorker. Although the cuisine wasn’t always cutting edge, we could always count on The New Yorker for its consistent high quality, and for its luxurious art deco ambiance. It always felt to me like an escape to more refined times, when ...
Flo worked for many years at another great French restaurant, The Paris, which closed at the end of last year.

C’mon, there must be one restaurateur out there who can bring this delightful dining spot back to life. And let’s not forget Bowman Brown and Viet Pham’s phenomenal farm-to-table restaurant, Forage. These chef...
Not all of the restaurants I long for were fancy. Bill & Nada’s comes to mind, as does Cafe Creole which was located in the ZCMI food court. Marco Schlenz’ Bubba’s restaurant gave us stick to the ribs barbecue and other good things like homemade meatloaf; I still miss the fiery kick of the chili con carne at Elvis Nixon’s Chili Palace in Sandy. I’d...
“Luke’s Italian Restaurant—it was one of those hole-in-the-wall neighborhood restaurants that had no business being where it was (Indiana Avenue, about 1500 West),” wrote Josh Casper. “It’s now an immigration law firm—more fitting for my ’hood, but not nearly as tasty.”
It was a restaurant located in a big warehouse. The dining tables were big covered wagons. I really liked it as a teenager but as I describe this now I am having a hard time remembering exactly why.
