Over the past few years, a number of award-winning restaurants have been established in Park City,

In a large historic space at the top of Main Street, chef-owner John Murcko and his team bring the outdoors in with his New American cuisine cooked over an open wood-burning fire. Here, firewood is more than just the name; it’s the main ingredient. 

Tucked into the Snow Creek shopping center, Twisted Fern features a seasonally driven menu with items ranging from local Utah elk to homemade fresh pasta. Chef-owner Adam Ross uses a keen eye to find what’s fresh and in season, resulting in elevated mountain cuisine—with a twist. 

I’ve never been one to worry about proper wine pairings. Whether it’s steak or fish, a sunny afternoon or a cozy night in, pretty much any wine will do, in my (uneducated) opinion. Lately, however, I figured I should learn more about the types of wines I’m drinking in order to make more informed choices.

So when I learned about the Fox School of Wine, a wine education school that hosts classes and events in Park City, I was intrigued. The Weekend Wine Series class sounded like the perfect way to kick off an evening with a friend visiting from out of town. I decided to sign us up for the reasonable rate of $34 per person, and we headed out to kick off our evening with some delicious wines. 

Near Main Street on Swede Alley, Handle is reinventing Mountain West cuisine with a focus on seasonal vegetables. In this episode, I venture into the kitchen with chef-owner Briar Handly to chat about his unique approach to and to try some of their small plates — including their famous General Tso cauliflower.

Perched above the Park City Golf Course at the base of the Silver Star lift, Jeff and Lisa Ward own and operate Silver Star Café. The family-run spot makes a perfect place to dine before or after exploring the mountain in both summer and winter, offering stunning views and live music several nights a week. 

Park City has many attributes: year-round outdoor recreation, fantastic restaurants, and two ski resorts — just to name a few. But outside of the annual Sundance Film Festival, our picturesque mountain town is not often thought of as a Hollywood hot spot.
