I’ve seen the place completely empty and completely packed, and in both cases, the service has been good and the food has been quickly cooked to order. Co-owners and chefs John Prescott and Kevin Murphy make everything in-house, and I do mean everything. … read more
Princess Kennedy: PK Gets an ID
To do anything on this planet, you have to have legal identification, such as a passport, driver’s license or State ID. It seems that in this pretty great state, the motherfuckers at the Driver License Division have decided that if you are trans identified in any way, you don’t deserve a state-issued ID, and that, my fellow sympathizers, is FUCKED UP. … read more

That’s Not It: A Shawn Elf Walters Interview

Skateboard Drive-In
Milosport Orem owner Benny Pellegrino noticed that there were a lot of kids in his community who skateboarded, but didn’t really care about the contest circuit. In an effort to decrease the emphasis on competition at skate events and get back to having fun, positive sessions, Pellegrino decided to do something different this year. Instead of throwing contests at the skatepark, Pellegrino and Milosport are throwing a series of Skateboard Drive-ins in their parking lot. … read more

This July, Brewer opened the SLC Photo Collective. … read more
