    LBGTQ

    As others have mentioned, SLC proper is a bit of an outlier in Utah. The city itself is small in population, like only 200k or so, and the metro area is comprised of a lot of smaller municipalities surrounding SLC proper. There’s a pretty large progressive community in SLC and the LGBTQ+ community is pretty strong. In a previous career stop, Utah was part of my business unit and one of the best physicians that I had working for me was a very open lesbian who I recruited from Portland. She is married to another healthcare provider that works for the University of Utah. They were very happy raising their family in SLC. The problem is, like Texas, religious fanatics control the state government and exert their influence mightily.
  3. All pretty good takes except for Burger Joint. What in the ever living fuck have you ever found redeeming there? I keep trying to like it because it’s the closest burger place to my house, but every burger I’ve ever had there has been under seasoned and dry. It’s to the point that I only order it off of Uber Eats because I’m drunk at 3a and I somehow forget how shitty it is and then wake up regretting not ordering a patty melt from Whataburger.
  4. Pete, is that you? Let’s find a time for happy hour. I’ll hit you up on Signal.
  5. I guess we will find out somewhere around 2035 given his track record of over promising and under delivering. When that time does come, I wouldn’t be someone taking a dump in one.
  6. Losing $200 million of taxpayer funded assets in six months isn’t enough for someone to get fired?
  7. Answer the fucking question, deacon.
  8. Pretty much sums up my feelings about it. The patio is comfortable now and is a good spot when the DJs are too loud.
  9. I’m generally annoyed by people that let their pets roam the neighborhood unabated, but I have a soft spot for a little black cat that belongs to some neighbors behind us. He’s a little too good at hunting apparently because his owners put a collar with a bell on him awhile back. Watching him on our security cameras at night cracks me up. He has the same routine of patrolling our house every night. If something is out of place it really bugs him. Nothing pisses him off more than if someone is staying overnight and their car is parked in our driveway.
  10. Bezos is going to enjoy the Tetons.
  11. But is it better than Franklin?
  12. People in AZ fucking love Rocky Point. I lived in PHX for nearly 20 years and went there one time and that was plenty for me. So many better places to go in Mexico, but people love that they can drive there.
  13. Because voters in Arlington keep voting to give billionaire owners handouts.
  14. If a service provider showed up to my house driving one of those things, I would tell them to fuck right off and enjoy the newly found free time before their next appointment.
  15. Doko, the new sushi place at Autry Park from the Handies Douzo and Kokoro guys, has what looks like a great lunch deal. We’re going to check it out either this week or next.
  16. I like it just fine. They were very good to me when I stayed there nearly 200 nights in a single year.
  17. Every meal I’ve had at Le Jardinier has been fantastic. It’s one of my go-to places to take people in from out of town and people always rave about it. That said, I have a friend that I have a standing weekly lunch with and we agree on restaurants 99.9% of the time and Le Jardinier is the one outlier for her. Unpopular opinion: I think Kata is overrated.
  18. I use the MyRadar app on my phone.
  19. Candente is great. You just have to be prepared to smell like a campfire when you leave. The ventilation on their live-fire grill is atrocious.
  20. It’s new-ish. Haven’t been and don’t know anyone who has so I can speak to it. It could be great, but I’ve avoided it just based on the fact that everything that has been in that space has failed. I realize that’s not a rational reason to avoid trying a place.
  21. As others have mentioned, MF Sushi, Le Jardinier and Lucille’s are the play within walking distance of the Zaza. Use Zaza’s house car to venture over to Montrose or Rice Village for more options. I lived at the Zaza for nearly a year while I was commuting from Arizona and, I can’t stress this enough, do not bother eating in their hotel restaurant.
