This Hidden Gem in Utah Serves Irresistible Peach Shakes and Farm-Fresh Goodies

A peach milkshake made with peaches from the farm itself. That one detail grabbed my attention before anything else did. The shakes are only part of the story, though. Cherries kick off early summer here, and then pickling cucumbers, tomatoes, melons, and sweet corn take their turns. Utah has a...

Backburner: Understudy opens in the Post District; Benihana opens in Riverton; North Italia debuts its fall menu

Climb the stairs at Sunday School in the Post District, and you’ll find Understudy, the neighborhood’s newest bar. It’s a place built for lingering. Drinks come in two lists—one with alcohol and one without—so everyone at the table gets something thoughtful in their glass. Fun Fact: The gin and whiskey in the “without” list are made in-house and are super unique! Natural wine lovers will feel right at home, too. The kitchen deserves its own spotlight. Fans will be thrilled to hear the roasted bone marrow is back, joined by the hamachi crudo and crispy duck rolls, my current favorite on the menu. You can reserve lounge tables on OpenTable, while the bar remains walk-in only. Understudy is open Wednesday - Saturday starting at 5 p.m., and guests must be 21 or older. A favorite detail: Each night centers on a single vinyl record, with Side A playing at 6 p.m. and Side B at 10 p.m. forgivemehard.com/understudy.

Catch up quick: Communal opened in downtown Provo in 2009 to wide acclaim for its use of fresh ingredients and family-style seating. The original owners, chefs Joseph McRae and Colton Soelberg, sold the business to the Santiagos in 2019. 💭 My thought bubble: I visited Communal for the first time last year and immediately kicked myself for not going sooner.
