Via my good friend Valter at Osteria di Valter in Salt Lake City.  I got into SLC late this evening for a business trip, and even though the kitchen was closing down, Valter still invited me in and had me wash down some breaded zucchini and garlic tomatoes (so fresh!) with some Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and a semi-freddo gelato with orange zest that was to die for.

It’s so wonderful to be able to get fresh ingredients and Italian hospitality when you’re traveling on business–makes the whole trip so much more enjoyable!
