**after almost 5 years, Jessica has stepped away as of 3.31.21**
Jessica is your producer and co-host of the New Utah Podcast.
- Favorite Utah Spot: Treasures Antique Mall in Springville. It’s my happy place.
- Favorite Utah Restaurant: Can I pick by cuisine? Currently it is Per Noi cause their gnocchi is like fluffy pillows of heaven in my mouth. (this changes frequently cause I love to eat at local places!)
- Utah Spot you haven’t visited but want to: Sun Tunnels and the Salt Flats.
- What is something people should do at least once in Utah, both residents and visitors: Go to Bear Lake in the summer.
- What is your favorite Utah stereotype that people completely live up to: The way Utahn’s say things like, “roof” (ruf) “for”(fur) “mountain” (mout-un) “button” (but-un) etc.
- What do you geek out about: Meeting celebrities, traveling/taking photos of cool buildings, and researching the why of things.
- Who is your favorite band: How about top four? Depeche Mode, Oingo Boingo, Erasure, and currently Billie Holiday.
- Favorite meal/food: Pizza without red sauce and anything breakfast.
- What’s your claim to fame: probably my cakes or how many celebs I have met? Maybe that I like to travel alone? I actually don’t know my claim to fame.
- What are three random facts about yourself:
- I buy rare and discontinued whiskeys at auction to flip (yes, that means I am a bootlegger)
- I have never taken a cake decorating class in the 16 years I’ve been doing cakes.
- I love going to cemeteries.
