Fixin’ Up the Utah Criterium
Utahns have started to swap out their automobiles for two wheels and open air—it’s bike season! While there are those of us who do this as a hobby or to shed some pounds, some of us have already been mapping out their LOTOJAs, alleycats and criterium (crit) races for months in the making. Looking closer at Utah cycle competitions, the race with the most buzz is easily the fixed-gear crit. … read more

Shahrazad: Halal? Is It Meat You’re Looking For?
I feel like I have only scratched the surface of what Shahrazad has to offer. I still need to try the lamb and the goat—the word on the street is that they are among the best in the valley.

Mike Brown: Getting Rad With Tate Roskelley
I met Tate Roskelley via Instagram. At the time, I had no idea he was a pro BMXer/amateur paperboy. Tate was running a pretty epic, fake Karl Malone IG account with crude Photoshop skills, and was funny as fuck. The account was epically entertaining, and a ton of people thought it was me throwing shade at the Mailman. … read more
