Since I forgot to post with all the Christmas prep, this week’s blog is short and to the point (also stolen from Chris!).
It’s time for part two of City Weekly’s Best of Utah 2022 episode this year. Our focus is now on food and drink in this great state and there is no short supply of opinion to go around. Thanks to City Weekly for providing the fuel for this show.

We also recap our annual Ugly Sweater party and Utah snowpack and avalanche danger for the season.

It’s that time of year, time for us to go through City Weekly’s Best of Utah 2022 issue. This week it’s all the nonfood categories. Of course we interject our commentary on poor or biased readers choices and snarky staff picks. It’s one of our favorite shows of the year.

Our guest was unable to come but is already rescheduled! So, this week we’re going to wrap up our review of City Weekly’s Best of 2021 (part II) this week.
Jeremy does math to figure out Chris and I have been doing the podcast for almost as long as we’ve been a couple. Then we do some personal planning that is quite thrilling and talk about the lifting of the Federal travel mask mandate, there’s a lot of pee talk and we discuss the reclassified COVID endemic. Chris talks about his new lunchtime getaway and the loot he’s gotten and shared.
BEE UPDATE: As promised, Jeremy gives us an update on the bees after last week’s snowstorm. He checked on them all week and the bees were protecting the queen and on the 16th Jeremy discovered the queen is out and after that the bees have been out and about looking for food sources.
If you felt something that was like an earthquake and are in the Salt Lake and Tooele valley area, the Tooele Army Depot was ‘blowing shit up!” Bre is disappointed that she didn’t get to see the small helicopter crash at Airport II.

We start with Media & Politics and are reminded that many of the 2021 picks are COVID related and/or influenced. We move along to Arts & Entertainment and finish up with Goods & Services. For Restaurants, Food & Drink and Nightlife, go listen to episode 295, Floppy Fries.
I was excited to learn that Dave Cawley with Cold put out another investigative, unsolved murder podcast about Joyce Yost. Senator Mike Lee wind both Best Political Scandal and Worst Utahn and we feel both were greatly earned. I also learned that Traeger is a local company, who knew?! (Don’t tell me if you did). Please listen to hear about our thoughts and opinions along with our personal alternatives to some of the places listed.

We are recording on Skype this week because Julia is negative for COVID but then positive twice but then negative again. She’s feeling better but home recovering and avoiding giving it to us since we’ll never be sure if she has/had COVID!
The Utah State Legislature began on the 18th. We talk about how important it is to know what is happening up on the hill and to contact your legislator if you something is important to you. Please go to www.le.utah.gov for bill tracking, to find out who your representatives are and to listen to committee discussions.
We know you’ve been waiting for it, so here it is, the first part of our City Weekly Best Of review! In this weeks episode, we go over the Food & Drink and the Restaurants categories. We are shocked that The Pie didn’t win for Best Pizza or even Best Pizza in Ogden but excited that Fresh Donuts & Deli is on the board for Best Donuts. Our wonderful friends at Ruby Snap beat Crumbl for Best Cookies and of course, Pretty Bird, FTW under Best Chicken Sandwich. Chef Adalberto pulls out a couple secondary positions under Best Bakery and Best Dessert for Fillings and Emulsions but we know he should be #1! Guras Spice House is overlooked for Best Indian Restaurant again but now that Jeremy has been to La Caille, we know it’s a real place to go and eat. Surprisingly, between the podcast crew, we’ve been to all the winners in Best French Restaurant. Chris is thrilled with Sunday’s Best, Best Restaurant Brunch win but we’re not going to Takashi until their dining room opens, no matter how many categories they win.
