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!

Utah’s One Thing: Pilot Barry Hancock

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?”

Flight academy owner and aerobatic WWII warbird plane pilot, Barry Hancock, joined us for episode 98. Of course Barry said the one thing that you should do in Utah is head to his hangar in Heber and go to on war bird flight up in Heber with the Utah War Bird Adventures! He says the Wasatch front is incredible from the air! (Jessica fully agrees with this!)

Barry was full of all kinds of new and great suggestions! He said the state is so diverse and wonderful it’s hard to pick just one. He said the parks in the southern end of the state are unbelievable. Locally he said hit up the Timpanogos cave and the ice castles in Midway if you’re in town in the winter and it’s cold enough and to ride the Heber Creeper train.

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 97 guest, author MichaelBrent Collings, might not live in Utah but he has spent a bit of time here! We still wanted to know what his one thing he would tell someone visiting Utah that they had to do. Michael told us that you must visit Temple Square because there is only ONE Temple Square and because of how it is part of the history of the state of Utah.

Utah’s One Thing: Utah Liquor Lawyer Tanner Strickland Lenart

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?”

Utah Liquor Lawyer, Tanner Strickland Lenart, joined us for episode 96! What would someone who knows the Utah restaurant and bar scene suggest for someone visiting Utah who only needed one thing to do? Well, Tanner said that the one thing someone visiting Utah should do before leaving is to get up into the mountains regardless of the season! You heard that folks head to the hills! Tanner said to make sure to experience side trails when you go hiking. We found a great resource for Utah trails on alltrails.com They offer a map that zooms in and out on hikes around the state. This map also gives the difficulty level of the hike, searchable options by city, printable maps, etc. Once you are on these trails then find your side trails! *but be respectful of the nature you’re walking through and be prepared*

Utah’s One Thing: The Sod Show, Peter Donegan

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?”

Peter Donegan of Ireland’s, Sod Show Podcast, Skyped in with us for epsiode 94 in celebration of St. Patrick’s day. This marked 1 year since Peter had visited Utah so we had to ask him what was the one thing that he would say, besides his previous one thing; Gilgal Gardens, that someone visiting Utah needed to do. Peter said visit a Utah pub because the experience is different than what you experience in Ireland. Everything has an order in Utah, a line at the bar, waiting to get your drink. Peter said Utah laws don’t allow an Irishman to get drunk!

We suggest one like Piper Down! You can also find a great list of local pubs on Yelp!

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!
