Saw an ermine on the trail, white as snow. A sign that a big dump is coming to the Wasatch Back, I think so. #

Cup Of Joe With The Mayor

admin — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:00:33 +0000

This week, I had a business meeting with a former boss. Alright. That’s not true. It wasn’t a business meeting. We were just catching up. He chose Riffs Cafe as the prearranged meeting spot. Never heard of it, I said. Dana’s place, he said. Dana who, I asked? Dana the Mayor, he said. I googled it on my iPhone and found out it is on Ironhorse Drive, right across from Windy Ridge, near all the funky cool wind sculptures and Mercer Automotive. It’s mostly an acoustic guitar store, with a sweet range of Martin, Taylor, Seagull, and Santa Cruz guitars. There is some teaching space in there. There is a big room that holds about 40, says Dana, good for little acoustic shows. The guitar side is run by a guy named Larry Hart, says his business card. Dana mans the Barista station, whipping up Fresh Pots, and casually asking if you need a warm up. This is our Mayor. This is Park City. You Dig?

Of course there are plenty of guitars. He's in a band after all.

Vintage Mixer Visits Talisker On Main

Editor’s Note: I always love it when Becky Rosenthal contributes to the Skids Eats section of Park City Skids. Why? Because left to my own devices, I would do restaurant reviews of El Chubasco and Maxwells over and over again. When her reviews and photos grace our pages, it adds a little credibility. She’s kind of a big deal in the Utah Foodie Blogger world. Check out her thoughts after a recent visit “uptown.”

The private gated communities with second-home winter retreats, concierge services and members-only restaurants of Park City are out of reach to most of us ordinary locals, but recently I found a fun way to enjoy some mountain-town luxury right on Main Street.

Talisker on Main is open to the public, though it offers a high-end, elite atmosphere and dining experience. The evening started with a perfect peach bellini and only got better from there.

The photos of club members that line the walls of the dining rooms, the chess tables in the living room, the wall of wines and the open-air kitchen in the main dining area all work together to greet you and make sure your evening is complete. Should that not be enough, keep walking and you’ll find a small patio with a cozy fireplace and twinkle lights strung above the candle-lit tables and comfortable outdoor seating. That should do it.

Yes, the atmosphere welcomes you in for the evening. But it’s for nothing if the food doesn’t match. Talisker On Main delivers.

Here is a sample of their summer menu:

Appetizers
Roasted Corn Soup
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Red Shrimp
Carrot and Zucchini Terrine

Entrees
Pan Roasted Lamb Loin
Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast with greens and a honey biscuit
Sous Vide Duck Breast

Desserts
Aguacate Cheese Torte
Gelato Trio
Sorbetto Trio
Provencal Torte
Warm Chocolate Tart

Forgot to tell you all: Guardsman Pass opened last Thursday morning. I moto-ed from Park City to Big Cottonwood, all gates open. #
