Heâ€™s the owner of Pago restaurant, as well as the relocated Finca, which reopened this month after moving downtown to 327 W. 200 South. According to Evans, the original Finca property will reopen in early 2015 as the Hub & Spoke Eatery, a â€œmodern dinerâ€?â€”a â€œreinterpretation of the traditional seven-day-a-week breakfast-through-dinner restaurant.â€? And, this past weekend, Evans opened his new East Liberty Tap House (850 E. 900 South, EastLibertyTapHouse. com). Itâ€™s a nice mix of modern and vintage, a neighborhood hangout with a well-curated craft beer selection and classic bar food sourced from local purveyors, open seven days a week from noon to midnight. Das ist gut en s s e t lica nt e D n a a Germ Restaur & Steinâ€™s Gingerbread Freezes Over Each holiday season for the past 13 years, the folks at Deer Valleyâ€™s Stein Eriksen Lodge (7700 Stein Way, Park City, 435649-3700, SteinLodge.com) have created stunning, massive gingerbread masterpieces for display in Steinâ€™s main lobby. This year, Stein features an elaborate gingerbread scene from the movie Frozen: a display of Anna and Elsaâ€™s Arendelle castle in its frozen state. The sculpture sits in Steinâ€™s main lodge adjacent to a towering 32-foot, lavishly decorated Christmas tree. From a framework designed by General Manager Dan Bullert and under the supervision of Executive Pastry Chef Ann Giles, it took more than a monthâ€™s worth of planning and prep work, plus a staff of 10 people to construct the frozen world of Arendelle. Itâ€™s made of more than 400 pounds of gingerbread, 250 pounds of sugar and 30 pounds of fondant.
