Taqueria 27: an Original Spin on Classic Food

Taqueria 27 duck confit tacos

As soon as I entered Taqueria 27, my eye was drawn to a wall-sized chalkboard that featured beautiful sketches of the restaurant’s vast selection of beer and tequila. Though I’m not a drinker myself, I hear tell that drinking beer and/or tequila with one’s tacos is the shit. So when you come to this restaurant and see their dedication to providing customers with a wide variety of drinks alongside their wide variety of tacos, you get the sense that someone knows what they’re doing.  … read more

You live in Provo and can’t afford to buy a new bike or pay for repairs at a shop. Maybe you want to learn how to take care of your bike or ride along the streets safely.

Mad Max & The Wild Ones: the New Normal

Posted on by Asha Pruitt
The Maxwells (L-R): Wyatt, Angela, Cole, Shane Kiel and Duke) continue in their passion for music as Mad Max & the Wild Ones. 

The standard order of things is that, when we find rock n’ roll, we use it to piss off our parents—not to start a family rockabilly band with Dad playing upright bass and Little Brother taking on lead vocals at the age of 4. But “standard” and “normal” are not words that anyone would use to describe the Maxwell family, nor Mad Max & The Wild Ones.  … read more

Deliver Us From Hunger

Posted on by Asha Pruitt

The Jimmy John’s Delivery Guy is a regular sighting in Downtown Salt Lake—rain or shine. You’ve probably seen Graham Abrams blow through the intersection at State Street and 200 South on his bike without hesitation, or his friend and coworker, Evan Vice, riding against traffic on a one-way street during lunch rush. These guys have a reputation for being fast and reckless, but it’s all part of the job. Time is money in the food delivery service: The more sandwiches delivered, the more tips add up. These delivery daredevils aren’t just risking their necks for the hell of it—it pays the bills. … read more

Eva’s Bakery: French Authenticity in the Heart of Salt Lake

Posted on by Asha Pruitt

Over the past few years, one of my favorite Downtown restaurants has been Eva. The small-plates restaurant serves a diverse selection of foods in portions manageable enough so that you can order half a dozen things and still not break the bank. Imagine my excitement when I, as SLUG Magazine’s Resident French Master TM, became aware that Eva Chef/Owner Charlie Perry had plans to open a French-style bakery just a few blocks away, Eva’s Bakery. … read more

Ryan Ottley: Draw Life

Invincible comic artist Ryan Ottley sketching character artwork

When Rob Liefeld, Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane (among others) founded Image Comics, they revolutionized the comic book industry. The artists were treated like—and acted like—rock stars everywhere they went. It was that attitude that put the creator-owned mindset of Image on equal footing with Marvel and DC. Twenty years later, Image Comics is still a force led by some of the most famous creators working today. Its continued success is thanks, in large part, to books like Invincible—illustrated by local artist Ryan Ottley.  … read more

Music + Beer = Family = The UBC Music Squad

If you’ve never met Utah Brewers Cooperative Business Manager Cindi Robinson, then you have never seen such a passion for local music. From tabling at shows for animal-activism promotion to organizing bake sales for bands to raise money to go on tour, Robinson now continues her superlative enthusiasm for the local music scene on a day-to-day basis at UBC, as she has surrounded herself with notable local musicians by hiring them to work for the brewery. … read more
