Culinary Dropout, a restaurant chain that started in Arizona, opens Wednesday in the Granary District, serving classic comfort foods and an extensive selection of booze.
The intrigue: The restaurant is launching at the historic Utah Pickle Co. Building, which dates back to the late 1800s in the growing Granary District.
- The massive space features live music, along with a full bar decked in TVs in its 21+ section.
- Popular menu items include fried chicken, soft pretzels with provolone fondue and 36-hour braised pork ribs, along with salads and sushi.
- It's open for brunch, lunch and dinner.
What they're saying: "It's a party," general manager Kyle Kratzer tells Axios. "We have a very fun, eclectic menu, so there's a little bit of everything for anybody."
🦐 What I tried: I was fond of the bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizer with corn bread stuffing, cajun butter and parmesan.
- My "Sweater Weather Sangria" was a tad too sweet, but I'm excited to try their other creative cocktails next time I go.
The bottom line: The restaurant offers SLC an upscale setting to enjoy live music and a hearty meal in a space that honors its past.
