Utah food and restaurant news and events


Tuscany Restaurant, 2832 E. 6200 South, now has a 14-foot high blown art glass chandelier gracing its main entry hall.


Sunflower Farmers Market has launched a series of consumer- friendly "Smart Tags Programs" with color-coded nutrition labeling to help consumers choose healthier options. Sunflower also launched a new interactive Web site, www.sfmarkets.com, which lists sale fliers, recipes, cooking ideas, nutrition tips and virtual store tours.$5, fivedollardivas.comDessert had a nice surprise too: a deep-fried empanada with sweetened apples folded in a pocket in the dough. It was hot and crisp on the outside, with sweet cool, not-from-a-can apples within, giving it all the allure of a fresh sopaipilla with the added appeal of apple pie. That it was supposed to come with a scoop of ice cream and did not was easily overlooked.ON A TEAR$6, lulus.comHere the ribs are "St. Louis style," which means they are oven baked until moist and so tender the meat pulls easily off the bone. Any barbecue aficionados lusting for a smoky treat or a crackly veneer of dry rub won't find it. Instead, these ribs come with a sweet grill sauce dominated by molasses and a few spices. Those hoping for the spicy, sweet, tart balance of most barbecue sauces might find this one unbalanced.The restaurant is open for lunch Tuesday-Friday and for dinner every night (801-277-9919 or www.Tuscany-SLC.com).Pretty pearls and luxe chains make this pair shine. Great with ethereal tops and leggings.
