Utah’s One Thing: Jessie Jude Gilmore, Clubhouse on South Temple

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

We were honored to have caretaker of the Clubhouse on South Temple, Jessie Jude Gilmore, join us for episode 178 to talk about the grant they were up for from Partners in Preservation: Main Streets campaign hosted by National Geographic. The building is known for being Salt Lake’s very own Ladies Literary Club. And yes, they did win the grant!

We asked Jessie what her one thing she would tell someone visiting Utah that they must do before leaving, and she told us to go up past Pine View reservoir and find yourself at Causey reservoir and cliff jump! She said, recognize that you are in nature.

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Utah’s One Thing: Shawn, Green Urban Lunch Box

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

During episode 109 Shawn, the founder of Green Urban Lunch Box, told us that the one thing that someone visiting Utah had to do before leaving was to take a drive up the canyon to be in the wilderness. Shawn said it’s also good to be in the city and do cool city things.

Fortunately Utah has plenty of canyons to visit and plenty of city to find cool in *which we have written tons about here on our website*! We love Utah.com’s guide for Scenic Drives & Byways.  This map is just a smidgen of the Wasatch Front canyons!

Dentists sometimes get time of out the office! Episode 101 we asked Dr. Eric, of Stonehaven Dental, what his one thing someone visiting Utah should be. Eric said you must go up American Fork canyon. He said it isn’t as busy as other canyons and you can go up the Alpine Loop and to Cascade Springs.

Farmer Luke sat down with us for episode 95  besides selling your kids to local farmers, Farmer Luke said that his one thing that he would tell someone visiting Utah that they had to do would be of course to stop by Petersen Family Farm in Riverton Utah and say hello! Farmer Luke also said that he would suggest going on a sunset dinner cruise on the Great Salt Lake! We loved his suggestions so much! Farmer Luke also said find some where to go off the beaten path. His suggestion is to find a picture on Instagram of a place and go find it!

Utah’s One Thing: AJ Wentworth of The Chocolate Conspiracy

Standard

At the end of every New Utah interview we like to ask our guests, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Episode 91 we had two awesome guests join us. Owners, AJ and Steve, of The Chocolate Conspiracy sat down with us to talk about pure, unadulterated chocolate. AJ told us that he is a fan or architecture and that his one thing he would tell people visiting Utah before they leave would be to go and see the Salt Lake City Mormon Temple because of the architecture. AJ said to learn the history of where it came from because the granite came from the Cottonwood Canyons here in Utah. He said go see the canyon and then go see the temple to see where it came from.

Of course you should stop by The Chocolate Conspiracy and pick up some chocolate too!

Ted also said, second and most important, is to eat at a Utah staple restaurant, the Sconecutter on 21st South and State Street.
