When down in the Heber Valley I love to go to Spin Cafe to pick from their full vegetarian menu. The veggie tami rice bowl and the ravioli with sage butter are both fantastic.

the winter I go through phases on what I feel like indulging in the most. There are times I’m feeling very healthy and zen, and then there are other moments where I want to ski hard and carb load. Sometimes I get an itch for a nice evening out on the town or just to get out of the house and find a spot to get a coffee and get some work done. When on my health kick moments, I love to get in a nice sweaty and relaxing yoga sesh with any of the amazing instructors at PC Yoga Collective and then head over to the recently opened Guest Haus for an Alpen Glow juice or mint chip smoothie. After a long day spent at the resort, I enjoy finishing off a day at the Canyons base and après-ing at Drafts Burger Bar to indulge in their famous Tatchos, and I can’t wait to visit the new Aprés Pendry bar in the Pendry Hotel. However, if I’ve headed out into the backcountry, I always have cravings at the end of the day to grab a cheese-tastic Big Daddy’s Pizza in Kimball Junction on the way home. If I’m in the mood for a night out on the town, there is no shortage of places to turn to. Dinner at Courchevel Bistro
is a new favorite, especially because I am a cocktail fan and love their variation on an OldFashioned. It also isn’t a night out on Main Street without a stop for a glass of wine and a visit with great company at Old Town Cellars. This winter I am looking forward to having Tupelo back in Park City with their convenient new location in Prospector and The Overlook Restaurant that is the perfect place to meet with friends who live in the Heber or Kamas areas. When I want to change up the scenery of working from home, there are great spots to turn to for a bite or drink and a place to hunker down with my laptop. I can always depend on going to Atticus and ordering one of their specialty coffees, The Finch, to boost me through the day. If I am working in Heber, the Mountain Wellness Bar provides the perfect light bites on the go or a great spot to stop and work! No matter my varying cravings throughout the season, there is no shortage of places that fit the bill and keep me going all winter long. Cheers!

A Lesson In Cookie Decorating High Altitude Custom Cakes & Pies shares secrets for creating sensational sweets. by Jenn Thorn Photos by Blake Peterson
It’s a beautiful afternoon in Park City. From outside the Skaggs family home, the rhythmic sounds of folk rock can be heard as Mumford & Sons streams through the windows. Inside we find lawyer and librarian, turned mom and baker, Ann Skaggs diligently working on her latest masterpiece. Her canvas: a sugar cookie. Her art medium: royal icing. The detail and precision with which she performs her craft makes us hold our breath as we don’t want to disturb her focus and concentration. Or perhaps it’s just that the cookies are so beautiful they take our breath away.
DISHINGPC.COM

If you know Skaggs and the delicacies that come out of her bakery/kitchen, these cookies taste just as good as they look — layers of buttery perfection with just the right amount of chewy, sugar-coated goodness that have the power to transport you back to the very best moments of childhood. She started her baking adventures by making pies. “I’m from North Carolina, and we know pies,” she says. “I just learned through reading the step-by-step instructions and illustrations from The Pioneer Woman Cooks books.” Eventually Skaggs transitioned to learning how to make cakes. “You can learn a lot from ‘YouTube University’,” she jokes. “From there, it just kind of took off. People started asking for pies, cakes and then cookies … lots and lots of cookies.” Cookies, she says, are challenging because they are so detailed, and if you don’t get them right, they look amateur. Eventually Skaggs decided to really make a go of it and enrolled in several baking and cookie-decorating classes in Salt Lake City. “Cookie-ing is quite the obsession in Salt Lake City,” she says. “There are so many techniques and amazing people to learn from.” Baking has become a family affair in the Skaggs household, with her children always willing to volunteer
24 D I S H I N G P C . C O M
to be professional taste-testers and give their opinion on everything from flavors to helping her decide what her next confection should be. She credits the amazing Park City community with helping her make a name for herself, and says she was lucky enough to be connected with several influential Park City women and business owners who helped get High Altitude Custom Cakes & Pies off the ground. Skaggs wants people everywhere to know that it’s never too late to start something new. She says she stumbled upon this hobby turned thriving business by accident. “I didn’t know I had a creative bone in my body until my mid-30s,” she says. “I started baking as something to do after the birth of my first child. You would never guess I’d be good at this. I have the shakiest hands, and the detail and patience required in professional cookie decorating doesn’t seem like it would work for someone like me, but here I am.” High Altitude has somewhat of a cult following among Parkites. We asked the popular baker to teach us a thing or two and share her royal icing recipe as well.
SWEET TIPS & TRICKS » Invest in a cookie turntable to make decorating easier. » If the icing is left uncovered and begins to crust, mix well and add small amounts of water until it is a smooth consistency. » If it is too thin, add more powdered sugar to thicken. » Use a wire whisk attachment on an electric mixer or a handheld mixer to combine ingredients.
» Skaggs uses pure vanilla extract for homemade sugar cookie dough; however, she prefers the flavor of imitation vanilla in her royal icing recipe. » When adding colors, you need only a few drops! Skaggs uses AmeriColor brand food coloring for their variety of colors and richness. » The addition of corn syrup gives the icing more of a “glossy” look.
DISHINGPC.COM
25
ANN SKAGGS’ ROYAL ICING • • • • • •
1/4 cup meringue powder 3/4 cup warm water 2 tablespoons imitation vanilla extract 1 tablespoon almond extract 32 ounces powdered sugar 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Other extracts can be used in similar quantities for different flavor profiles.
Using an electric mixer, combine the meringue powder and water on low speed for 2 minutes. Gradually increase the speed
to medium until the contents are well mixed and bubbly (an additional 1-2 minutes). Add extracts and mix (1-2 minutes). Add the entire amount of powdered sugar at once. Gradually increase speed. As the contents begin to come together, add the light corn syrup. Mix on medium-high speed for 5 minutes. Store icing in an airtight container up to 1 week. Do not refrigerate. Mix well before using.
HOW TO: » Fill tipless bags half full or less with icing and trim end to decorate. The smaller the opening at the tip of the bag, the smaller the icing detail on the cookie. » “Pipe” the outside edge of the cookie shape first using a thicker layer of icing. TIP: This icing should be the consistency of shampoo.
» “Flood” inside the piped shape using a thinner consistency of icing second. TIP: This icing should be the consistency of toothpaste.
» Give the cookie a gentle shake to allow the flood to evenly distribute within the piped shape.
26 D I S H I N G P C . C O M
» Decorate cookies by “layer,” allowing each layer to dry in between using a fan, or allowing to rest 6-8 hours in between different decorating layers in an airtight container stored at room temperature (never refrigerate). » For smaller detail, touch tip of bag to cookie and drag icing down. » For thicker detailed pieces to add to your cookie, you can make with thicker icing ahead of time by drawing the shape/design on a piece of parchment paper, letting it dry, and then placing it on the cookie later.

WHEN
This Red Ledges home hosts many of The Food Nanny’s family meals. by Allison Arthur photos by Dan Campbell
Liz Edmunds, 70, first saw her now-house at Red Ledges, she knew it was the right fit. She had lived with her large family in a farmhouse in Woodland, Utah, for many years, but the promise of new construction, a builtin community with swimming, golf and “someone to take care of my yard” was too good to pass up. And the kitchen? A chef ’s dream.
With an oversized pantry, a large eating counter, and even an extra prep and baking room where she can mill her own flour, there is more than enough space to feed her family (which includes seven children and too many grandkids to count). So last year the busy cook, blogger, cookbook author and food entrepreneur moved into the new home with her husband.
DISHINGPC.COM

FEATURES THAT EDMUNDS LOVES
about this Red Ledges kitchen include the high bar, which creates a barrier to her cooking space; the butler’s pantry, which offers extra counter and cooking surfaces; and the high-end Wolf appliances. The lighting juxtaposes a more industrial feature from an old ship near the counter with delicate antiques from England above the island.
RED LEDGES IS A 2,000-ACRE PRIVATE COMMUNITY LOCATED IN UTAH’S HEBER VALLEY. AMENITIES INCLUDE AN AWARDWINNING JACK NICKLAUS SIGNATURE GOLF COURSE, A FAMILY-FRIENDLY GOLF PARK, TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL PROGRAMMING, AN ACTIVE MEMBER SKI CLUB AND AN EQUESTRIAN CENTER. THE LUXURIOUS CLUBHOUSE FEATURES A FULL-SERVICE RESTAURANT AND BAR, A SIGNATURE SPORTS SHOP, A FITNESS CLUB AND A SERENE POOL. A SECOND VILLAGE CENTER OFFERS A RESORT-STYLE POOL COMPLEX WITH A WATER SLIDE, A PLAYGROUND, LAP-SWIMMING LANES, LAWN GAMES AND A POOLSIDE BAR AND GRILL.
30 D I S H I N G P C . C O M
She upgraded the kitchen appliances and decorated in a “French chalet” style. “In France, they make it their own,” she says. “It is about embracing where you live but adding favorites.” Comfortably home in the functional space, Edmunds, along with her daughter Lizi Heaps, 33, run The Food Nanny — a growing business Edmunds started 20 years ago that Heaps helped revive with her social media skills more recently. With the support of their families, the food entrepreneurs have a blog, a line of kitchen tools, several cookbooks, a new store in Salt Lake City and 200,000-plus Instagram followers. Their specialties? Anything using their own brand of kamut flour. They work with a grower in Montana to package white and wheat kamut flour, using a pure strain and an unmodified version of the ancient grain. They make pizza, bread, baguettes and cookies and even have a cookbook dedicated to kamut recipes. Fridays are reserved for pizzas, often with the whole family. They say they are “known for their pizzas” and love topping them with everything from traditional items to more experimental ingredients like Thai chicken or kale and potatoes.
THIS HUTCH HOUSES some of
Edmunds’ favorite things, collected from years of travel to places like France, Mexico and Turkey. She knows where each piece was bought, and her baskets are some of her most prized possessions.
LIZ EDMUNDS AND HER DAUGHTER
Lizi Heaps run The Food Nanny — a brand that started out as meal prep and planning but has grown to include a line of kitchen tools, flour, salt and a new store in Salt Lake City. Their 200,000 “fanies” love the pair’s easygoing approach to cooking and recipes. The name Food Nanny is a play off the term super nanny, but for cooking and meal planning instead of kids.

Makes three 12-inch pi zzas
THE FOOD NANNY’S ARUGULA PIZZA FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH: 1/4 CUP WARM WATER (105-115 F) 1 TEASPOON SUGAR 2 1/4 TEASPOONS ACTIVE DRY YEAST 1 TABLESPOON OLIVE OIL 3-4 CUPS FLOUR 1/2 TEASPOON SEA SALT 1 1/4 CUPS WARM BEER (OR WARM WATER) Combine 1/4 cup warm water, sugar and yeast in a small bowl. Mix with a spoon. Let sit until foamy for 4-5 minutes. Add olive oil. In a large bowl, add the flour and salt. Make a well. Stir in the yeast mixture and the beer or water. Use your hands if you want to. When you can’t stir anymore and the dough is thick yet sticky, bring it together with your hands and put out on a lightly floured counter or a breadboard. Knead with your hands for 5-7 minutes, adding more flour if it is still sticky, until the dough is very smooth. Shape into a ball. Oil a large bowl with a little olive oil. Place dough in bowl smooth side down, then turn the dough over and cover with a wet dish towel or oiled plastic wrap. Let rise until double in bulk (about 1 hour). When the dough has doubled, punch down and divide into 3 equal balls, or 6 balls for thin crust. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 500 F.
32 D I S H I N G P C . C O M
Roll the dough very thin into a 10-to12-inch circle or rectangle. Place the dough onto a lightly oiled (or use parchment paper) pizza pan, cooking sheet or pizza peel. If using a pizza peel, mix 1 tablespoon flour and 1 tablespoon corn meal. Sprinkle on peel. Place the dough on the peel, then move it to a stone or tile. (Work quickly — moisture will start to form in the dough and will make it difficult to slide the pizza off the peel onto a stone or tiles.) Bake in the heated oven for 6-8 minutes on bottom rack until crisp. FOR THE PIZZA: 1 PIZZA DOUGH BALL 2/3 CUP FRESH MOZZARELLA CHEESE 2 CUPS FRESH ARUGULA 1/2 CUP FRESH CHERRY OR GRAPE TOMATOES, CUT IN HALF OLIVE OIL, FOR DRIZZLING COARSE SALT FRESH GROUND BLACK PEPPER Brush olive oil over the entire pizza. Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese and place it on the crust. Bake in oven at 500 F for 6-8 minutes on bottom rack until crisp. Remove from the oven and immediately pile the arugula pieces onto the hot melted cheese and top with tomatoes. Drizzle a little olive oil on top. Season lightly with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper.
You can freeze the dough. After you have divided the dough and made 3 equal-size balls, wrap each dough ball separately in plastic, then again in foil and freeze up to 2 months. When ready to use, take out of freezer and let the dough come to room temperature and form dough into pizzas. Bake as directed.

started out as a drive to succeed and “win” on the baseball field for Emilio Camara turned into motivation to compete in a different venue: the kitchen. As a high school baseball star, he had aspirations to pursue the sport he loved. But when the young athlete needed to fill an arts credit, he ended up on a cooking team at school. Within the first year, he had competed and placed well in a state competition. The next year, his mentor in the culinary program gave Camara an ultimatum: baseball or cooking team captain. “I wanted to be captain,” Camara says. “The first year as captain we took first place in the state and eighth place in the country.” The good work won him a full ride to Johnson & Wales University — a school specializing in culinary arts. There, he continued to pursue the competitive side of cooking and looked for jobs that would put him in a place to train to do just that. Camara ended up getting an opportunity to work at the Westchester Country Club in New York with aspirations of ending up on the American Culinary Federation’s (ACF) Culinary Team USA (which three of his bosses were a part of ) and competing in the culinary Olympics. The Utahn, now 25, ended up moving back to Utah before that dream was realized in order to be closer to his family. His goals have now shifted to becoming a culinary force of his own and have landed him as the chef at The Brick, a newer restaurant on Main Street.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE DISH YOU MADE THAT CHANGED YOUR TRAJECTORY INTO COOKING AND WON BEST IN STATE?
A chicken roulade with orzo pasta and a tornado of squash and zucchini.
WHAT PUSHED YOU OVER THE EDGE AND MADE YOU CHOOSE COOKING OVER BASEBALL?
Being able to create something and watch someone else love it. I fell in love with cooking. It blew my mind.
IT PAID OFF AND YOU GOT A FULL RIDE TO COLLEGE, BUT ANY REGRETS ABOUT GIVING UP ON YOUR FIRST LOVE?
I looked at percentages of going to the next level in baseball, and it was about 1%. I wanted to know what I was going to do. I needed to have a direction, and I found it with cooking. With baseball you didn’t know what was going to happen. WAS GOOD FOOD A PART OF YOUR HOME CULTURE GROWING UP?
My dad worked at Sysco for 30 years and my grandmother was a good cook, so I knew quality and ate good food.
42 D I S H I N G P C . C O M
AFTER YOUR TIME AT JOHNSON & WALES UNIVERSITY, YOU SPENT TIME IN NEW YORK WORKING UNDER CHEFS ON THE ACF’S CULINARY TEAM USA. WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THAT JOB?
Three of the main chefs there were all on the team, and they let me train with them.
SOME FAMILY ISSUES BROUGHT YOU HOME TO UTAH, AND YOU HAVE SHIFTED YOUR FOCUS TO WHAT GOALS NOW?
I want to be acknowledged as someone who is reinventing the wheel with food and starting a scene here. There are a lot of good places [in Park City] but not amazing.
> Combine the sugar, vinegar, jalapeños, honey, cinnamon sticks and cloves in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until sugar is dissolved. Sauté onion, pears, ginger and touch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat until wilted. Add sugar liquid into pear mixture. Cover the pan and cook on medium-low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the liquid has almost evaporated, remove cinnamon sticks and cloves. Chill until ready to use.
YOU HAVE WORKED AT LARGER HOTELS, LIKE THE ST. REGIS DEER VALLEY AND THE WALDORF ASTORIA PARK CITY. WHY DID YOU SHIFT GEARS ONTO MAIN STREET?
I love this location and want to make a big impact on this town. I found it was a good time to make a name for myself. I want to be known as the up-and-coming new hot spot and for people to crave what I am doing.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR COOKING STYLE?
I am classically French trained but more modern American. I want to express my heritage as a Hispanic but include things I have learned. I like fusion, like a duck confit tamale. AND HOW ABOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THE KITCHEN AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE?
I am a lead-by-example guy and have been that way for a long time. I am never going to direct people to do things. I show them first. WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY OFF LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?
I spend as much of my day with my Saint Bernard and Bernese mountain dog as I can. They are my everything. And I like to snowmobile. YOU LIVE IN HEBER. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DINING OUT THERE?
Heber Valley Pizza Co., Meg’s Timberline Cafe and the bowling alley [Holiday Lanes]. AND YOUR TOP PICKS FOR PARK CITY?
Nosh. And I am a big Shabu fan. I love the firecracker shrimp and ahi yellowtail with jalapeño. I often go there right after work. I also love the avocado toast at Harvest. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS?
Becoming the best, but you can’t do that alone. It takes good mentors and a good team. Maybe in Switzerland? WHAT IS ONE THING YOU ARE EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT THAT YOU LOVE TO EAT?
Kraft mac and cheese. I used to eat it once a week. BUT NOW YOU COOK YOURSELF …?
Steak tacos with salsa macha and avocado puree.

meal at a good restaurant is usually more exciting than what you can create at home. The liveliness of a dining room, the satisfaction of a well-crafted menu, and the anticipation of a beautifully plated dish all elevate the overall dining experience. Add in a tableside presentation, and you’ve got a delicious dinner plus entertainment. “The whole thing about eating nowadays isn’t just about food — it’s about the experience,” says chef Emilio Camara of The Brick. “Being able to have the chef come out and talk to you and explain the dish tableside is one of the reasons diners come out to eat.” Many Park City restaurants have embraced the art of presentation to add a little more flair to your meal. At Versante Hearth + Bar, mixologist Marcus Mair created the Botanical Dragon cocktail, a Ketel One–based drink that changes color when you pour lemon juice over it. At the Edge Steakhouse, salad feels more special when chopped right in front of you, like the restaurant’s Caesar salad with artisan romaine lettuce, ParmigianoReggiano and focaccia croutons. And what’s cooler than drinking a glass of Champagne out of a bottle that’s been sabered open like at The St. Regis Deer Valley? Learn about some of Park City’s tableside offerings below — and don’t miss a chance to see them in person.

things that my grandma did growing up,” Camara says. “I’m doing my take on it — a little elevated tableside experience. It’s like comfort food elevated.” At both Shabu and Yuki Yama, you can cook high-quality meat right at your table. “We bring out a bamboo box lined with diamondplate steel, and it has a hot stone dropped into it,” says Shabu General Manager Kevin Valaika. You take sliced wagyu beef, Japanese or domesticated, dip it in ponzu butter and sear it on the stone. “The fat content is high, so it melts on your tongue,” he says. “About 70% of the tables order one.” RIME AT THE THE ST. REGIS DEER VALLEY

ELEVATED PROTEIN A quality cut of meat can be taken to the next level when it is cooked or carved right at your booth. At RIME at The St. Regis Deer Valley, chef Matthew Harris sources an all-natural wagyu crossbreed from Idaho’s Desert Mountain Grass-Fed Beef. It’s then dry-aged for 60 days before being offered to guests as a market-price special — typically a 64-ounce porterhouse — a few times a week.

“We roast it in a cast-iron skillet with garlic and thyme, then present it in the pan it was cooked in,” Harris says. “We’ll go out and carve it tableside. One, because it’s such a large format, we like to cook it on the bone. And two, because it gives it a dynamic presentation. You get all that garlic and thyme smell, and when they walk it through the dining room, it’s captivating to see. You get a lot of, ‘Ooh, what is that?’ You sell one, and you send three to four more because of that aroma.” RIME does a similar presentation with a whole roasted bass, which is cooked with lemon and herbs (but not filleted at the table). Look out for a tableside pull-apart wholeplate short rib at The Brick this winter. Camara will cook the meat inside banana leaves then bring it out to the table, open the banana leaves and shred it in front of diners to enjoy with house-made corn tortillas, salsas and other sides. “My background growing up was Hispanic, so it’s playing off
MELTED MAGIC Fondue is practically an après-ski mandate, and many Park City establishments offer it as an appetizer during the winter months. A few places go above and beyond when it comes to presenting melted delights. At the High West Saloon and neighboring Nelson Cottage, Executive Chef Michael J. Showers has mastered his fondue technique, which he credits to four years at the Goldener Hirsch (which also famously makes great fondue). He uses a traditional fourcheese blend of Alpine cheeses: Appenzeller, Emmenthaler, Gruyère and Vacherin. “Vacherin is the kicker,” Showers says. “When the fondue is going through the dining room, and you think, ‘Oh, what is that smell?’ It’s Vacherin. It’s got some funk to it. The milk comes from animals that are working just a little bit harder, and that sweat and energy output actually develops some of the flavor that comes through in the milk, which comes through in the cheese.” The fondue pot has to be cast iron that’s enameled on the outside, Showers says, to maintain a very high but consistent heat. He begins by grating garlic on the bottom of the

pot, adding a dry white wine (typically riesling) and letting it boil before adding the cheese. Using a wooden spoon as the heat slowly ramps up, he mixes the cheese and wine with a slurry of High West Old Fashioned Barrel Finished Cocktail and tops it with nutmeg, salt, white pepper and a tiny float of the Old Fashioned. Diners eat it with fingerling potatoes, Granny Smith apples and bread from Logan-based Crumb Brothers. “You drop the burner at the table, light the flame, and it’s a memory maker for sure,” Showers says. Of course, you can’t talk about melted magic without mentioning Fireside Dining at Deer Valley. The experience is a winter staple during ski season (early December through early April, Wednesday through Saturday), and you can even book a private sleigh ride around the Empire Canyon Lodge for before or after your meal.

(read: non-pandemic) years, guests go up to the four rustic stone fireplaces where chefs prepare a variety of dishes, including stews and a roasted leg of lamb. One fire is dedicated to slowly melting cheese over an open flame using a custom metal tool and turning it into a warm Swiss raclette that is then scraped off over cornichons, fingerling potatoes, cured meats, freshly baked breads and more. The meal is topped off with chocolate, caramel and white chocolate Grand Marnier fondues to dip sweets like brownies and gourmet cookies into. At Glitretind at the Stein Eriksen Lodge, the chefs also take the meal’s finale seriously. The Caramel Apple Sphere dessert comes out of the kitchen as an unassuming round caramel-colored object. But when the Crown Royal Regal Apple syrup is poured over it, it begins to melt, revealing a spiced chiffon apple confit inside.
Beautiful presentation can go beyond the walls of a restaurant when a creative chef is at the helm. Park City native Haley Adelman offers a personalized omakase experience through her private catering business, Sushi Venture. The 25-year-old chef flies in sustainable fish from around the world — salmon from New Zealand, hamachi from Japan, tuna from Hawaii, sea bass from Mexico — and uses it to create colorful rolls and nigiri with wowfactor toppers like gold flakes and matcha sea salt. Depending on how exotic you’re willing to go, you can opt for a trust-thechef 16-course omakase or go for a combo of rolls, sashimi and nigiri for a group of six to 10 people. “I like that it’s intimate and unique, and it’s an experience where you can sit in front of me and really watch everything from start to finish,” Adelman says. Watching the fine technique of slicing fish for nigiri “is like a show and culinary experience at the same time.”

Fabio Ferreira and Cortney Johanson
Take a closer look at countless establishments around Park City, and you’ll discover a lot of family ties. Whether it’s a husband-and-wife partnership (Tupelo Park City, Twisted Fern, Riverhorse on Main, Bartolo’s, Silver Star Café, The Spur Bar & Grill and 350 Main) or a joint family venture (Hearth and Hill, 11Hauz, 501 On Main and others), many restaurant owners opt to share responsibilities with those they’re related to.
The Couple That Works Together ...
Cortney Johanson started busing tables as a teenager at her parents’ restaurant, 350 Main, where she worked her way up to events coordinator and met her now-husband, Fabio Ferreira, when he worked there as a server. After some years passed, the pair reconnected, started dating and eventually took over 350 Main and The Spur together in 2013. “We started changing things in the direction we
thought it should be going,” Johanson says. They did a ton of remodeling to give 350 Main a more modern vibe, revamped the entire menu with a new chef and expanded their other restaurant, The Spur, in the same year. Now with a solid management team in place, the couple have the flexibility to see each other and their kids when they want to. Ferreira makes sure the restaurants have what they need to run smoothly (ordering liquor, dealing with

Every star chef needs a support team to be successful. Such is the case for Linda Elbert of Mindful Cuisine and Deanna Fitchat of DeeLicious Park City, who both have family support to help things run smoothly in the kitchen. Prior to moving to Utah to teach culinary classes, Elbert worked as a psychologist, and her husband, Larry, had a career as an engineer. When she realized she would need help with the business, he gladly stepped up to pitch in with dishes and cleanup. He also assists with a lot of the hands-on grilling and outdoor cooking classes as well as dealing with the bookkeeping. “One of the reasons I wanted to build a space inside of our home was the flexibility of working when we wanted to work,” Linda says. Fitchat offers everything from multi-course dinners to soup delivery through her private chef business. Her two sons grew up watching her in the kitchen, and once they hit high school, she started giving them small jobs to help with orders. That eventually evolved into bigger responsibilities, and now her youngest son, Michael, works for her full time while attending business school. “I think as mother and son the main benefit of working together
maintenance), while Johanson handles the financial side. “Where we come together is the community aspect,” she says. “He works the front door at The Spur, and I have a ton of regulars I’ve known for 15 to 20 years that I take care of. We each have our own responsibilities, but we come together in the middle.” Their son and daughter have even helped by hosting and selling pastries at a lemonade stand. “The restaurant business is so hard,” Johanson says. “If we both didn’t do it, it would be hard to understand. It’s a 24/7 job.” The partnership is clearly a successful one, given that (as of press time), the pair is opening two new establishments in the former Star Hotel: The Big Dipper, a

is that we’re both totally invested in each other’s goals,” Fitchat says. “We also know each other so well that if one of us is having an ‘off’ day, the other knows how to react so that it doesn’t affect our work and we are usually laughing after no time. I constantly try to remind myself to soak up this amazing time with my son because it’s such a gift.”
Family Ties
Hailing from a long line of Kentucky moonshiners and farmers, it’s no surprise that Rob Sergent made his way into the distilling business. Rob and his wife, Sara, who studied gin making in Scotland, own Alpine Distilling. They produce whiskey, gin and liqueurs that are available at their Silver Creek distillery, the Alpine Pie Bar on Main Street and liquor stores. Family ties will always be important to the Sergents. The whiskey is crafted with corn, wheat, rye and barley that give a nod to Rob’s Kentucky lineage. The Lafayette Spiced Bourbon Whiskey was inspired by his greatgrandmother, Granny Babe, who used to take ripe stone fruit from the farm and soak it in “shine” to add flavor. Supporting the community is also a top priority for the couple, especially after they lost everything in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when they lived in New Orleans. “It’s a really lovely balance to be able to do what we love ... in Park City as part of this great community,” Sara says. When COVID-19 hit, the Sergents pivoted to create tens of thousands of gallons of hand sanitizer for firefighters across the state. The award-winning Preserve Liqueur — a blend of blood orange, black tea, raspberry, lemon balm and ginger in a 100% corn base — was inspired by a sunset seen from the Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter, and a percentage of its sales goes back to the nature reserve. They’ve also worked with EATS, Recycle Utah and others.
Zane Holmquist is the corporate chef and vice president of food and beverage at Stein Eriksen Lodge. His family emigrated from Sweden in 1910 and kept a lot of their heritage — including his grandmother’s tradition of serving meatballs with potatoes and lingonberry jam at every special occasion. “I took it for granted as a kid until she passed away,” Holmquist says. “It’s just one of those quintessential things that’s so connected to my childhood. When you link in smell, aroma and taste with an activity, it becomes really engrained in your head.” The meatballs have now been on Stein’s menu for more than 15 years.

worked as a manager and head hostess, the Valaikas have been through a lot — including a recession and a pandemic. “One of the biggest benefits of working together is that a partnership is complicated, but because we’re family we have to work it out,” Kevin says. “We’ve had our differences in opinion, but when you have a wife, brother and a father all in it — you work it out.” There have been heated moments between restaurateur Allan Galeano and his sister, Paola Bello, but the pair always support each other. “I once threw a plate of spaghetti and meatballs at her when she was driving me crazy,” Galeano says. “But we love each other a lot. She’s very feisty, and so am I.” The siblings were born in Uruguay to an Italian father and a German mother and spent time in Italy, Germany and New York before they opened their first restaurant — Buona Vita in Hermosa Beach, California — 30 years ago. They brought Buona Vita Ristorante Italiano to Park City together in 1998. Bello continues to operate Buona Vita and 710 Bodega on Main with her husband, Nick, and Galeano owns The Brick, El Chubasco, Crystal Park Cantina and Bangkok Thai on Main. “Somebody once told me if you’re making money, there aren’t any problems,” Galeano says. “As siblings, you cover each other’s asses.” P H O T O B Y C A R O L I N E H A R G R AV E S

Sibling Revelry
Going into business with your sibling(s) can be trying at times, but it’s always worth it, as Shabu’s Kevin Valaika can attest. Valaika and his twin brother, Bob, developed complementary skills throughout their careers. Bob trained under acclaimed Japanese chef Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa, while Kevin mastered front-of-the-house skills working at Bill White properties and Robert Redford’s former restaurant, Zoom. Together they started Park City Private Chefs, a high-end catering business, before venturing into what is now the Asian fusion restaurant Shabu in 2004. Along with their dad, who has helped with accounting, and Kevin’s wife, Heidi, who has

Continuing a Legacy
It’s truly all in the family at the Dairy Keen in Heber City, where a third generation of siblings run the business that their grandparents started in 1946. Known for its thick shakes, Train Burgers and fries, Dairy Keen continues to be a staple of the community thanks to sibling owners Jan Olpin, Mike Mawhinney and Kim Houtz. Olpin handles the accounting, Mawhinney does the scheduling and Houtz does the training — “but if something needs to be done, one of us does it,” Olpin says. “There are no jobs that are beneath you or above you.” A lot has happened throughout the 75 years of Dairy Keen’s existence, including a complete redo of the entire building after 13 remodels. The family has grown up with and literally in the business. “My sister had eight children,” Olpin says. “Every time she would come home with a baby, she would lay the baby in the sink and go to work. Every one of her children has slept in the sink.” The kids were taught how to peel potatoes and wipe down tables as young as 4 years old. “You start young when it’s yours,” she says. The siblings have had to work through difficult times, including the loss of their parents eight and 10 years ago. “We are there for each other always and through everything — through thick and thin,” Olpin says. Before their father died of colon cancer, he made it very clear that “we weren’t to make a big fuss and we should only be closed the minimum amount.” Naturally the siblings took a day to pay respects to their father and closed the restaurant, but “we still laugh that we needed to get to work or Dad would be mad that we were slacking.”

IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST BITE. LITERALLY. FOR US AND FOR THE FISH WE WERE AFTER. THE MADISON DOUBLE R IS A FISHING AND FOODIE PARADISE LOCATED IN ENNIS, MONTANA. SITUATED ON THE MADISON RIVER, WITH PRIVATE ACCESS TO ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS FISHING DESTINATIONS IN THE COUNTRY, THIS LUXURY FISHING LODGE OFFERS A QUIET REPRIEVE TO THE HUSTLE OF SUMMER. WHILE YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BE AS BUSY CHASING TROUT, SHOOTING CLAYS AND ROAMING AROUND THE 1,280-ACRE RANCH AS YOU LIKE, YOU CAN ALSO UNWIND IN A DEEP SOAKING TUB WHILE THE STAFF (ALMOST A TWO-TO-ONE STAFF-TO-GUEST RATIO) CATER TO YOUR EVERY WHIM.

Think, a room attendant to stoke your roaring fire for the morning chill, and a chef who brings out your afternoon snack request of french fries with three different dipping sauces. Your hosts and owners, John and Krista Sampson, have been fishing and guiding in the area for as long as they can remember. The pair even met through the sport they share a passion for. The Montana residents opened the ranch three summers ago and have turned the spot into a destination worth splurging on. The property, for people in the know, offers unparalleled access to what local fishermen call “the Miracle Mile” of the Madison River, as well as to private spring creeks. Experienced guides are at your service to either start you on an epic adventure early in the morning or accommodate a more leisurely afternoon. Guests set the pace, and because every day is catered to the individual, there is no schedule — except what you are in the mood for. Each day begins with a made-to-order spread of homemade breads, pastries, local eggs and bloody marys that are hard to resist. Again, sleep in or hit the gym, but the chefs will also be ready for your eggs Benedict order if you want to get an early start. If you are going to be out all day, they will pack you a lunch with a rotating supply of tasty snacks and cookies.

Pour Clamato into a large pitcher, and whisk in all of the ingredients. Make sure to break up any clumps of spices. Fill a large rocks or pint glass with ice. Add 2 ounces of vodka (maybe a little more if you like them as strong as BERGSTRÖM the Madison Double R does), then stir in 8 ounces of mix. Serve with pickled asparagus and an olive skewer.
Evenings can be as festive as you like. Join the rest of the guests at the lodge for a drink and predinner snack and compare fish tales from the day. With only around 20 guests at any given time, it is easy to get to know the rest of the crew if you choose. Dinner is a threecourse affair with local, quality ingredients. A greenhouse and garden are also in the works at the ranch. The saloon awaits for after-dinner drinks, shuffleboard, pool or even karaoke. Or get a view of the big sky by the fire pit with your post-dinner libation. You won’t find a bar tab at the end of the trip, as everything in the price is all inclusive. Be sure to make time for an in-room massage and a soak in the outdoor hot tub if you need a reset one day. I recommend exploring the vast property on the mountain bikes provided to each guest. But don’t worry — if you would rather take a golf cart to dinner or for a cruise around, you have that option outside your cabin door, too!
DINNER CAN BE
made an intimate affair or shared with other guests.

DETA ILS The Madison Double R is open to guests from April through October (and other times on a full-rental arrangement). Rates are all inclusive and start around $3,000 per person for three nights, which include all guided activities. While trips of three to five nights are suggested, the ranch will accommodate shorter trips when it has a window.
MA DISO N DO UBL E R HI G HLI G H TS : » Unlike many all-inclusive spots, Madison Double R offers premium alcohol and wines, plus curated menus that rotate so diners will never have to order the same thing — though the food was often so good that you may want to do that. Special requests and dietary restrictions are no problem. In fact, the very generous chefs will make just about anything you like. » Staff-to-guest ratio is unusually high, at almost two to one. » Each cabin comes with fat-tire mountain bikes and a golf cart to cruise around in. » With only 11 guest cabins, the expansive 1,200-plus-acre ranch is never crowded. » With a game room, gym, hot tub, shooting range, fire pit and main lodge, you can find many different venues in which to congregate. » The area is home to some of the best fishing in the country on the Madison, Big Hole, Beaver Head, Ruby, Jefferson and Snake rivers. The experienced guides will make sure your fishing trip is one you will never forget. » Each cabin has infinite views and large open windows and doors to invite you to let the outside in as much as you can. » Yellowstone National Park is nearby, and private tours can be arranged.

A diverse menu of traditionally prepared, classic and playful cuisine is now crafted for family dining and sharing plates.

Tapas are popular for a good reason. They always encourage socializing, because 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.

Stop in for everything from fresh baked goods to bagels and smoothies alongside your hot drinks of choice. An extensive tea menu may have coffee enthusiasts defecting, especially with the selection of chai and tea lattes. But don’t worry, the selection of espresso drinks — which includes the delicious Mexican Mocha — will give you a chance to branch out from an average cup of joe if you so choose, too. The locally owned and operated store offers free parking right out front if you need to grab and go. But if time allows, don’t miss browsing the quirky gifts, books, cards and more. Atticus has been a local staple for over 10 years and offers affordable breakfast served until 2 p.m. daily, as well as loose leaf tea and coffee if you need to stock your at-home supply as well.

The Brick, which is housed in a beautiful, modern Main Street building, has recently revamped its concept and brought in a new executive chef. Emilio Camara, whose pedigree includes having worked for St. Regis and with Team USA mentors in New York, has created a modern steakhouse-style international-influenced menu. Whether you join for a leisurely lunch of a classic Caesar or butternut squash and burrata cheese salad, or indulge at dinner over a tomahawk steak or long-bone pork chop, you should sit back, relax and sip on a cocktail that complements your meal. The range of their dishes continues into their weekend brunch with options such as Eggs n Chorizo and biscuits and gravy. While the menu feels upscale, the environment is comfortable and welcoming. Both will make you want to come back for more.

Executive Chef Clement Gelas has brought the flavors of his home country of France to the heart of Park City. You might imagine that you’re in the northern French Alps rather than the mountains of Utah as you dine on risotto de crozete or braised chicken coq au vin. Diners are raving, and so is CNN Travel, which named Courchevel one of the 20 “world’s best new restaurants for 2020.” Courchevel is open to the public but also features a members-only lounge and patio downstairs reserved for Talisker Club members.

All the meat is smoked in a blend of hickory and oak for at least 16 hours and accompanied by a vinegar-based barbecue sauce. Sides can also steal the show, with choices like a mustard coleslaw and collard greens. Don’t miss the most interesting twist — a gnocchi potato salad.
