Farm-to-table restaurant Communal coming to Salt Lake City

Communal, a farm-to-table restaurant and Provo staple, is expanding to Salt Lake City. Driving the news: Owners Kevin and Tessa Santiago revealed plans for the new restaurant in a recent social media post . The restaurant will be at the Twenty Ones Apartments complex in Sugar House. Dig in: The Provo menu includes funeral potato croquettes, gumbo-style chicken, wagyu picanha frites and more. 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. What we're watching: An opening date is expected to be announced soon.

Provo’s Vesper isn’t the only new concert project Utah is suddenly hot for

Producer Steve Boulay has booked shows in Utah for 40 years, and he’s never seen this much action on new music venues. A 6,000-seat venue is in the works for downtown Salt Lake’s overhauled sports and entertainment district, and a smaller one is planned for The Point in Draper — or maybe it’s a music festival, too. Boulay also suspects Deer Valley’s amphitheater could get an upgrade. Plus, there’s the contested project in Provo Canyon. The Vesper Amphitheater was announced with room for 20,000 — that’s bigger than the upgraded Delta Center.

This actually was a little bit lighter of a month than some because I started a new job and had family in town for my brother’s wedding.
