Episode 338 – Eat Better

Jeremy retells his bee story from last week but with better audio and we find out how deep conspiracy Chris really goes.

^{Elcio and Mirian Zanatta – The Salt Lake Tribune}

We also get to talk to our guest, the owner and creator of Aubergine Kitchen, Elcio Zanatta. A Brazillian turned Utahn, Elcio decided to share his love for a better life with those around him and eventually that meant opening a restaurant.

We talk all about his life, philosophy and how amazing he is as a business owner and boss in Utah. Their eighth location recently opened in St. George! Their menu focuses on eating healthy but keeping it healthy!

Elcio tells us that the three best things about Utah are the kindness and beauty of the community, the good business environment, and all four seasons (even if his favorite, Autumn, is the shortest). As always, thank you to Folk Hogan for our intro and outtro music.

Episode 336 – Working for Yourself

This week we sit down with Max Born, the President and owner of Chili Beak. Chili Beak is a local chili oil company, but also so much more.

^{Max Born recording at Ugly Baboon Studios (Jeremy)}

Aside from just making amazing oil, sauce and caramels, Max is a firm believer in helping grow the local business community. With a history of successful branding and distribution, he has grown chili beak into quite the brand, and launched a successful hot sauce festival in Salt Lake. Sauce Lake City was held in June of 2022 so watch for it in the spring of 2023!

After purchasing Chili Beak from Giselle and Jason McClure about three years ago, he not only grew the brand they started but Max has also started a couple of other business Chili Beak adjacent, one of them being Chill Beak. Chill Beak produces cannabis chews with Chili Beak’s trademark habanero punch!

Max says the most interesting and unique thing about Utah is our community and our tribe. Pockets of people who jump in to help and support! As always, thank you to Folk Hogan for our intro and outtro music.

Episode 335 – Hari Krishna’s in Utah

It’s Utah Adventure Week! We pay a special visit to a very unique place in Utah and even in America, basically outside of India. The Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah.

We get to meet the head of that temple, Caru Das and spend a couple hours with him talking about the history of the temple, all the wonderful things they do there and about the faith. We visited their sanctuary, their shop, and the grounds with their fantastic koi pond that fertilizes their gardens, their birds and llamas. The views are amazing and everyone living there is so lucky. The temple grounds are home to the largest color festival outside India.

It was really an amazing experience and we hope you all enjoy hearing about it. Chris has worked in some recordings that include some chanting and even a little rap! Thank you to Folk Hogan for our intro music. Follow us @tnupodcast on our social media.

I need y’all to know that I’m wearing two inch platforms in this picture and am still a good six inches shorter than the next shortest person!

Thank you to Folk Hogan for our intro and outtro music.

Now back to Candice….

Candice is a native Utahn, born in Salt Lake City raised, in the Clearfield, Ogden, area. Canidce is a mother, partner and fierce feminist who found her love for making art in the form of quasi vintage underclothing about 9 years ago. After only a short time of being in business Candice went viral with her ‘Golden Girls’ panties. Sales went through the roof…UNTIL Betty white filed a cease and desist order ultimately breaking up the group (You can still purchase the other 3 golden girls on her website) Each one was designed with the particular character in mind.

The Dorothy design is black a nod to her characters dark side.

The Sophia has a sensible support top

The Blanche who is Candice’s favorite golden girl, sums up Candice’s view “Life’s short, get fucked”. You will notice the Blanche is crotchless, in true Blanche style.

Candice has had several unfortunate and unforeseen challenges thrown her way the past few years; her sister passed way followed by her mother. Covid threw a wrench in the business with home schooling, and all the garbage that came along with the Covid shutdowns, quarantines, etc. Candice is a one woman show who puts family first and the support of her kids and husband at the front of everything she does.

Candice is however on a new path to bring Bullets and Bees back into the mainstream and she has begun creating new items again. Each item Candice produces is hand made, and made to fit the person ordering them. Custom orders are available as well as some of the standards she has in stock. Here are a few of our favorites.

This was such a fun interview; Candice is a joy to talk to and you can feel the passion she has in her work. Once again check out her work, place an order, or just say hello… Bullets and Bees Boutique

Episode 315 – Messing with the System

This episode we take the show on the road! We are recording in the Red Rock Brewery with Michael Druce. We get to check out the operations, the beer store and talk all about the beer and story behind Red Rock.

We start off talking about Michael’s history, and find out, much like Jeremy, he’s an Idaho boy to start. The two of them wax poetic about the old days in Pocatello, before we push them to get on with the beer history portion of the show. It turns out that Michael has loved Red Rock since it began back in 1989, as the LLC was introduced to American business. He has been drinking their beers since the first week of the pub being open.

We take a trip through tastings of various beers. We start with their hands down most popular, Elephino. A nice IPA that they can’t seem to make enough of to be honest. We get a taste of their Pride Beer, Double White Rainbow, and my favorite, their Anniversary Imperial Red. We also get to taste their Marvela, which happens to be their #2 selling beer. Jeremy and I are in love, and highly recommend it to all.

But we also get to talk about some other stuff they have done in the community. Aside from winning an insane number of awards and being a big part in legislative changes, it turns out they do special projects. For example, Harmons has engaged in it’s own line of beer, and none other than Red Rock is collaborating with them on it. We got to sample the 24/7 365 American Lager, and it’s the perfect lawn mowing beer if there ever was one!

Red Rock has been around since the start, only Squatters is technically older. And they continue to be a big part of the community and local brewing scene. You can’t ask for a better community steward than them.

Episode 314 – Neo Organic Water Colors

We start the week with a discussion of local news, featuring Bryan Brandenburg, co-founder of FanX, being arrested. This leads us to a bit of discussion on the convention itself and how we all feel about it several years in.

But that conversation gives way to our guest of the week. Patrick Cat of Patrick Cat Tattoo. He is an incredibly tattoo artist, based right here out of Utah. He brings and amazing amount of color and unique imagery to his tattoos. You can find him at Misery and Co. Tattoo Collective, but you have to message him first as he doesn’t do walk ins.

Patrick was born in New York City to parents from near the Mexico City area. We got to talk a lot to Patrick about his influences, and how moving back and forth from Mexico City to the United States during his early years impacted his education and life. It’s a fairly unique and very interesting story.

When it was time for college, a hard decision had to be made; Go to school in New York or stay in Mexico and pursue his artwork that he loved. He decided to stay in Mexico, where he started to tattoo to support his other art work. After gaining experience in Mexico, he tattoo’d in parts of the US and even moved to France for 2 years to tattoo.

Now he calls Salt Lake City his home, with his lovely wife, who he met in Mexico, and has a thriving tattoo business. He does guest spots around the world, and its no wonder based on the amazing artwork. We spend a lot of time talking about his style, and how he makes Neo Organic Watercolor come to life on human skin.

He gives all his customers their own artwork, sculpture or otherwise, that is the inspiration for the final tattoo. His consultations are selective, and he won’t do tattoos he doesn’t think will work or look good. And he charges by the project, not by the hour. We really loved our chat with Patrick, and hope you enjoy it as well.

Episode 313 – 6 years

Hey kids, we here at The New Utah Podcast just had our 6year anniversary and we are as surprised as you that we have lasted this long! To celebrate the momentous occasion, we started the evening with Ruby Snap Cookies.

We trued some new cookies that none of us had before:

Patsy Jane: Fresh blackberry cream drizzled in blackberry glaze and topped with, you got it!… fresh blackberries.

Darby: Chocolate oatmeal with a peanut butter cream cheese frosting and callebaut crips pearls.

Lola: A festival of lemon! Made with panela curd and topped with fresh squeezed lemon glaze and glacéed lemons.

We also enjoyed the tried and true favorites, Lola, Penelope, Vivian, and of course the always popular PB WOW.

Check these flavors out and so many more at Rubysnap’s

So, not only is it our 6-year anniversary it’s also Utah Adventure Week! This week was a ‘2-for’… Gilgal Gardens and the International Peace Gardens.

Located at 749 East 500 South in Salt Lake City, Gilgal Sculpture Garden was envisioned, designed, and created by Thomas Battersby Child, Jr. Tucked in the middle of the block and surrounded by homes, business, and apartment complexes it’s a place you would never know existed if you didn’t know where to look. Gilgal contains 12 original sculptures and over 70 stones engraved with scriptures, poems, songs, and literary text. Although Child was not a classically trained artist, he went to great lengths to obtain each stone for his garden.

The finished statues are unconventional, even eccentric: a sacrificial altar, a shrine to Child’s wife Bertha, and probably the most recognized piece is the Sphynx with Joseph Smith’s faced carved into it. Child knew that not everyone would appreciate his particular artistic vision. His primary concern, however, was that the garden would succeed in making people think: “You don’t have to agree with me,” he said. “You may think I am a nut, but I hope I have aroused your thinking and curiosity

This is one of the places talked about by so many of our guests over the years and you have to see it to believe it. One of our favorite pieces is the carving of the creator himself Mr. Child. The different stones he brought together to create the pants, the suite coat, and the head are very interesting and intricate. His pants actually have a pattern to them!

You have to do yourself a favor and visit this MOST UNIQUE Utah location!

Our second spot was the International Peace Gardens located in Jordan Park: 1160 Dalton Ave S, Salt Lake City, UT 84104. This Park is one of only two peace gardens located in the United States. It was founded in 1939 by Mrs. Otto Wiesley, Citizen Char of the Salt Lake Council of Women. Its original dedication was planned to coincide with the Centennial Celebration of 1947, but WWII ironically interrupted progress and delayed the opening until 1952.

Each of the 28 countries represented in the garden is allotted a section which they design, create and plant at their own expense. Plans are approved by the City Parks Director before they are implemented. As each garden is completed, it is dedicated and presented to the city.

As we wondered through the gardens, we noticed that some of the countries are represented very well. China, Japan, Switzerland, were some of our favorite sections to visit. Others are in need of expansion, and a little more effort from their respective countrymen. One thing to note the fountains has not been turned on yet and most of the seasonal flowers were not planted or in bloom. As the summer progresses the induvial gardens will bloom and be even more amazing.

Both of the Utah locations are free to the public, so visitors can enjoy these parks year-round and for the best price of $0.00.

We are so excited to have reached this tremendous milestone in our little podcast’s history. Thank you to all the many wonderful people we have met along the way. So many fun interviews, field trips, and we have gotten to know and become friends with people we would have never otherwise been able to meet. Thank you for 6 wonderful years, and we hope there are many more to come.
