Lady Flour at Frankie & Essl’s

Becca at Lady Flour will be selling her confections at the breakfast sandwich spot Frankie & Essl’s every Friday-Sunday. The City Cast Salt Lake team was looking for the perfect cookie and got to try her brown butter chocolate chip cookies. Let me tell you, they are divine.

Utah Is Getting an H Mart

This may be niche, but to all my grocery-store-lovin’ people out there, Utah is getting an H Mart! H Mart is an Asian supermarket chain with almost 100 locations nationwide. It’s known for its wide selection of Asian foods, incredible food halls, and it was even featured in the title of the popular memoir, “Crying in H Mart.” It’ll be located in West Jordan and is slated to open by the end of the year.

City Cast Salt Lake producer Ivana Martinez said: “I can finally cry in H Mart instead of my local Walmart parking lot.”

Panera Bread

Speaking of national chains, a Panera Bread is coming soon to the Mountain View Village shopping center in Riverton. This goes out to all you gorgeous gorgeous girls who love soup (and sandwiches). Iykyk.
