Food is at the heart of almost every family’s holiday traditions. In the November/December 2023 issue of Salt Lake magazine, we introduce readers to three Utah families behind some of the best eating establishments in the valley (Caputo’s, Casa De Tamal and Kimi’s Chop & Oyster House, and they share their inspiring food traditions—all delicious and with a rich cultural history.
To round out the holidays, this issue features a holiday gift guide of a different kind. What do you get for the person who has everything? Certainly not more stuff. Salt Lake magazine curated a list of gift ideas centered on unique experiences to create lasting memories this holiday season. Also featured in the November/December issue of Salt Lake magazine, the “Wildest Woman in the West.” Etta Place is best known as a member of Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch, but the true identity and backstory of the notorious outlaw is a mystery. We search through Utah history for the real Etta Place.
