Utah’s One Thing: JC Straub, Salt Flats Brewing

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?”

JC Straub, of Salt Flats Brewing, joined us for episode 141 to talk about their beers, the Garage Grill restaurant, and what they have coming up this year! JC told us that the one thing that someone visiting Utah had to do was easy! Drink Salt Flats beer! JC said to get out of the house. He said so many people that live in Utah haven’t done “Utah things.” We agree with JC, you should “give it a whirl!”

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!

Normally Mike is the one sitting down to hear people’s stories in Salt Lake. But this time we got him to sit down with us, as the founder of Humans of Salt Lake, for episode 108. Mike spends a lot of time in Salt Lake and his one thing that someone should do when visiting Utah is to read up on Salt Lake City and on Utah. Mike said don’t come to Utah with a closed mind and narrow expectations. Mike also said don’t be afraid to walk around.

GPSmycity has a great app that you can create your own walking tours around Salt Lake City. Or, you can just put on your shoes and find your way around. It is really easy, as everything is laid out in block.

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?”

Josh, The Herbalist, Williams of GreenThread Herbs joined us for episode 104 and what Josh had to say about the one thing in Utah, “Salt Lake is fantastic. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.” Josh said he loves living in a place that you still get to stick up for yourself and there is still space to fight for something. Josh also said to visit a music venue like Metro Music Hall. He said that when bands come back to a location often it says a lot about the city. Metro is just one of many amazing small venues in Salt Lake City. Urban Lounge, Kilby Court, The State Room, In The Venue, The CommonWealth Room, Park City Live, and The Garage are also fantastic SLC music venues!

Utah’s One Thing: Alison Einerson Market Director Downtown Alliance

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?”

We were so excited to sit down for episode 102 with Downtown Farmers Market Director, Alison Einerson! Of course Alison said the first thing you should do is go to a Saturday Farmers Market! Whether you are visiting in the summer and get to go to Pioneer Park, or if you are visiting in the winter season, you can head to the Rio Grande. Alison also said if you are down south, you must eat at Hell’s Back Bone Grill. Known as one of the best restaurants in Utah, who just happens to also be committed to supporting local, it is located in Boulder, Utah. It is open seasonally so make sure you check out the website before heading there!
