from scratch SLC

a new SLC restaurant coming at you today...

i am now back in san francisco after THE BEST 

week visiting family in salt lake city. that place 

gets better each time i go back! i loved featuring 

some favorite places as well as some new ones, 

like this one today. my mom and aunt and i went 

out together to try a new restaurant, from scratch. 

umm, this place rivals anywhere i've tried in SF, 

napa, new york, etc. i'm serious. it's a new, 

undiscovered GEM in salt lake! we loved 

meeting chef adam, as well as the owner david...

and his cute mom who was in town helping 

hostess the restaurant! this place lives up to the 

name and everything is truly from scratch...

they even have a flour mill in the back! from the 

pizza dough to the hamburger buns, they make 

things in-house and you can taste the difference. 

such high quality, incredible food. it is right on 

the inside loop of gallivan so it's easy to miss, but a 

great location for all things downtown. also, the burger. 

no words! more on that below. warning: mouth watering!

^^ why does my mom have to be the cutest?

^^ such a great space...

i love the feel of it!

^^ the roasted beet salad...to.die.for. it has arugala, 

golden + purple beets, pecans, goat cheese, and 

the best vinaigrette dressing. and you know i 

live for pretty food presentation. lately i'm hooked 

on beet salads and this one was a winner.

^^ appetizers: we tried the charcuterie platter...

the bread is house made, and the meats and cheeses

are all local. my favorite part was the honeycomb.

^^ the pizzas are made & fire roasted right when you order

them, so they're incredibly fresh and flavorful. our great 

waiter andrew recommended the fennel sausage pizza, and 

it was a home run. next time i want to try the white out!

^^ okay, the burger. i was expecting this place to be

all about the pizza (which was incredible), but this is 

the show stopper. and to back me up on that, it just 

won best of state for the burger. this place hasn't even

been open a year and it won best of state! we obviously

had high expectations for it, and they were exceeded.

i like burgers, but only if they are great. this one is

incredible. i don't even know if i can describe the

flavors, but lucky i don't live in salt lake because i'd

come weekly for this. please promise to try it! 

^^ i love these two! i'm so lucky to have not 

only the cutest mom, but cutest aunt. we all

went running together in the canyon that morning

and then had a great meal at night! my kind of ladies.

^^ chef adam doing his thing.

^^ loved all of the waiters + chefs!

they know their food. our waiter described

each dish so in depth i felt like i had 

already tasted it before trying it. you

can definitely trust their recommendations.

^^ the flour mill right in the back!

^^ two BABES. 

 when you're in salt lake city be sure not 

to miss this place. we'll be back!
