1. Deep Fried French Toast: deep fried buttermilk dipped French toast topped with powdered sugar. Served with fruit compote and maple syrup.
2. Chicken & Waffles: buttermilk fried chicken stacked with pickle slice on top of home baked biscuits. So, technically it is chicken and biscuits not waffles. But when it tastes this good the change is okay.
3. Biscuits and Gravy: home baked biscuits topped with eggs your style. Served with sausage gravy.
BEST DRINKS – UTAH
A Johnny Utah Cocktail might not make you feel like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, but it most definitely will put a smile on your face. Some sweet, some spice, some everything nice!
1. Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Add 3 ounces Altos Tequila, 1 ounce Campari, 1 ounce Lime Juice, 1 ounce Grenadine and 1 ounce Trees Knees Cinnamon Maple Syrup. Cover and shake until shaker becomes frosty and most of the ice has melted.
2. Strain ingredients into Collins glass filled with ice. Top off with 1 ounce Schweppes Club Soda. Add more or less to taste. If the cocktail inspires you to maybe jump out of a perfectly good airplane, I suggest watching Point Break (1991) first with this tasty cocktail in hand. Cheers to Johnny Utah!
3. Utah’s oldest business is the Shooting Star Saloon located in Huntsville. The saloon opened its doors in 1850 and remains the oldest continuously operating saloon west of the Mississippi. It remains open today with some restrictions. For restriction updates visit their website at www.shooting-star-saloon.business.site or click here.
Best Drinks – Utah
Salt Lake City Spritz is said to be an amazing bitter leaning, low alcohol, pre meal cocktail. Cool and refreshing and actually can be consumed pre-meal, during meal and after meal! Try it, you’ll like it!
1. Fill Collins glass with ice. Add 2 ounces Cranberry-Cherry juice, 4 ounces Maraschino Cherry Liqueur and 2 dashes Orange Bitters. Stir well.
2. Top off with 3 ounces Lamarca Prosecco and stir not so well.
3. The Road Island Diner is an Art Deco car restaurant located in Oakley, Utah. This prefabricated diner was first displayed in the 1939 New York World’s Fair as a featured exhibit. The diner has changed hands and locations several times but has been a Utah landmark since its opening in 2008.
