A Sandwich a Day: The Godfather at Caruso's Deli in Salt Lake City
The Godfather ($6.25) from Caruso's Deli in Salt Lake City is proof that nothing tastes as good as simplicity done right. The foundation of the sandwich is a sourdough loaf, baked fresh daily at Stoneground Bakery. It lends the right resistance when biting down and sourdough tang to complement the salty, creamy flavors of the sandwich innards: turkey, roast beef, bacon, and provolone. The thinly sliced meats, chewy bacon, and melty cheese make you wish you had ordered a second loaf.A Sandwich A Day: 'The Caputo' at Tony Caputo's, Salt Lake City
I'd never given much thought to Salt Lake City as an Italian food destination, but Tony Caputo's is a mighty fine Italian market, with any kind of cured meats, cheeses, pastas, tomatoes, and imported goods you can imagine. At the sandwich counter, you can't go wrong with 'The Caputo' ($8.25)—prosciutto, mortadella, and salami layered with provolone, plus lettuce and tomatoA Sandwich A Day: 'Machine Gun' from Bruges, Salt Lake City
It sounds like a novelty stunt, or a Primanti's knockoff--Belgian frites and fried merguez sausage and tons of sauce in a bun, served at Belgium native Pierre Vandamme's fries-and-waffles shop, Bruges. But it's a classic friterie sandwich called a "mitraillette," directly translated to "machine gun"--and a far more refined sandwich than the description lets on.A Sandwich A Day: '#51' at the Back Door Delicatessen, Park City, UT
The ski and resort town of Park City, Utah, may not be a place filled with decent cheap eats, but the sandwiches at the Back Door Delicatessen are mighty fine.French Toast at Finn's in Salt Lake City
There are two kinds of dressed-up French toast: French toast with stuff on it, and French toast with stuff in it. I generally find myself more a fan of the latter, so I loved the Jule Kake French Toast ($8.49) at Finn's in Salt Lake City, which might be called a Scandinavian diner. Here, the "Norwegian Christmas Bread" is laced with raisins, citron, cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon, dipped in a simple creamy-eggy batter and griddled golden brown.Intro to Mormon Cuisine in Utah: Jell-O, Funeral Potatoes, and More
How do you know you're from Utah? When your mom has over ten recipes for Jell-O. In a feature at the The Atlantic, Scarlett Lindeman, who spent part of her childhood in Utah, talks about the abundance of Jell-O and other common dishes found in Mormon cuisine, which she describes as being built around "feeding dozens of mouths from pantry stores and prudent seasoning."Serious Cheese: Beehive Dairy's Barely Buzzed
Photograph courtesy of Beehive Dairy Most people, when they hear the words coffee and cheese in the same sentence, wince at the thought of two such vastly different foods coming in such close contact. But Utah's Beehive Dairy is boldly cutting straight through that taboo with their coffee-covered Barely Buzzed, a blue ribbon winner in the 2008 American Cheese Society Awards. The first time I'd tasted it was back in March at Beecher's Cheese in Seattle. As I bit down through the cheese, the bitter nuttiness of the espresso and the caramel sweetness of the cheddar-style cheese made me realize this is a match made in some really quirky and hip corner of heaven....Eighth Annual Testicle Festival, Woodruff, Utah
The Salt Lake Tribune A ball was had last weekend at the Black Gold Cattle Company's eighth annual Testicle Festival in Woodruff, Utah. Or rather, 250 pounds of balls. During branding time, it is customary to neuter the young bulls and feast on the resulting delicacy—word has it the meat is unexpectedly juicy and tastes a bit like chicken. The bull testicles go by the more appetizing moniker Rocky Mountain Oysters, or "cowboy caviar." Nut Specialists dipped the "oysters" into beer batter and deep-fried them in lard. The "caviar" came with a cheeseburger and fries for a reasonable $5. The festivities paid tribute to cowboy traditions—rodeo events like bull riding took place beside the joyous fried-testicle consumption—and raised almost $30,000...In Videos: Chefs Taste Test Military 'Meals, Ready to Eat'
