Some Shots From a (Not So Recent) Trip to Woodbine Food Hall In my ever-neglectful way, and true to form, it's been a minute since I visited Woodbine Food Hall with some friends. I wanted to call out a few delicious items we encountered there. The stromboli from Marcato Kitchen was a knockout.…

slceats.comSome Shots From a (Not So Recent) Trip to Woodbine Food HallIn my ever-neglectful way, and true to form, it's been a minute since I visited Woodbine Food Hall with some friends. I wanted to call out a few delicious items we encountered there. The stromboli from Marcato Kitchen was a knockout. Beautiful bread with the perfect amount of crisp, and I'm a sucker for any and all baked goods topped with toasted sesame seeds.

But that is just the start of the frenetic, scattered fever dream that is Nutritious Bowls, located in the Rio Grande area of SLC. The location itself adds to the question marks that prevailed in my feeble brain throughout my visit.

Delicious donuts that make a difference: The Other Side Donuts

slceats.comDelicious Donuts That Make a Difference in SLCSome topics make me really excited to talk about. This is one of those topics. Donuts? Yup. Supporting a great cause? Double Yup. The Other Side Donuts is a social enterprise benefitting The Other Side Village, a "master-planned community of healing and purposeful living for people coming out of chronic homelessness." The donut shop, which recently celebrated its one-year anniversary, is staffed by residents of the village, and all proceeds are passed back to the village for its continued operations.

"Mr. Trump and his advisers fancy themselves steely-eyed realists on foreign policy. No “neocon” idealism for them. But on Mr. Putin they are starry-eyed idealists, mouthing “peace” as if they can make it happen by wishing it were so." www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Wild. I asked a question about camera lenses and ChatGPT remembered from an inquiry months ago that I own a Sony A7cii. Wasn't in the same thread from months ago, either, so it's gained some contextual memory.

Asher Adams Hotel, Salt Lake City. This building had languished for far too long until they came along and turned it into a hotel. I respect that they kept the original building original (the actual hotel portion is built behind this. You can see it at the left and right of the old building).

I was chatting to a coworker friend of mine today who mentioned that he had been married for 40 years. I asked him what the secret was. His answer: “Get over yourself and realize that your spouse’s happiness is more important than yours.” I liked that.

Do I think it's completely hypocritical and a bit ironic that Biden pardoned Hunter by using the same mental gymnastics that Trump uses to justify his terrible decisions (WITCH HUNT!!!)? Yes. Would I pardon my son if I were in this situation? Also yes.

The thing that really differentiates Bluesky is that it doesn’t feel like it was designed by a bunch of people who will lose their jobs if I spend a little less time on Bluesky.

Trying Bluesky out since Threads can't seem to figure out its purpose and Twitter is, well, Twitter. I write about food at slceats.com. As a peace offering, here are some photos from Hamburger America in #NYC. This place is a study on the perfect burger. #hamburgeramerica
