Episode Summary
On this episode of The Business Spotlight, host Peter Anthony sits down at Fuel with Julie Janke, publisher and owner of Millcreek City Lifestyle, to talk about Sip and Savor Millcreek, the Salt Lake dine around she created because every big city has a restaurant week and Salt Lake City did not.
Sip and Savor Millcreek runs five weeks, September 1 through October 11, with roughly 35 restaurants on board. It originates out of Millcreek but Julie Janke is clear that it is a Salt Lake dine around. Diners find the participating list at sipandsavormillcreek.com or on a two page spread in the front of the publication, then move through the city on their own schedule. Most restaurants offer a prix fixe menu and open access during normal hours, brunch, lunch, or dinner, with Log Haven participating through Sunday brunch.

The five weeks culminate in a food and drink festival at Log Haven on Sunday, October 11 from noon to four. Most participating restaurants bring a sample item, local vineyards and breweries including TF Brewing pour, and Julie Janke's team hands out awards like best patio, best spot for kids, and best date night, built so each restaurant walks away with a marketing asset. Tickets are $130 with early bird pricing live, it is a 21 and over afternoon event, and there is free transportation from parking at Skyline High School because there is no cell service up Millcreek Canyon.
Julie Janke and Peter Anthony spend a stretch of the episode simply arguing for Salt Lake as a culinary destination. Julie Janke is from New York City, a city with between fifty and sixty thousand restaurants, and her point is that Salt Lake has changed dramatically in the last several years. Her shout outs include STK, Rouser at Asher Adams, Maraya, Solgave, Acre on Main Street, Table X in Millcreek celebrating ten years of seasonal farm to table, and Copper Onion. Peter Anthony adds Buenavita in Sugar House, Rock Taco in an alley downtown, Antica Sicilia, and Vento near Liberty Park.
The event has a nonprofit partner, Wasteless Solutions, a local food rescue organization that works with many of the same restaurants, and the goal is to raise $20,000 to buy them a refrigerator.
