From pristine national parks and ski resorts to mountain biking trails and destinations like Moab and Park City, we have a lot to proud of here in the state of Utah. And now, thanks to Salt Lake City-based Latitude Restaurant Group, you can finally add ‘a great steak’ to that list. Last December, Ruth’s Chris Steak House announced that it had reached an agreement with Latitude to open Utah’s first nationally recognized fine-dining steak house.

I don’t want to make anyone’s mouth water too much, but if you’ve never been to a Ruth’s Chris Steak House, you’re really missing out on some terrific food, and I’m not just referring to the steaks either. New Orleans-inspired appetizers, the finest U.S. Prime cuts of meat, fresh seafood and classic desserts, all complemented by service to die for are what make Ruth’s Chris one of my favorite–and very rare (no pun intended)–fine dining experiences.

Later tonight, my wife, Amy, and I will head up to Salt Lake City to experience fine dining at its prime. If anyone needs me, just follow the sizzle to 134 W. Pierpont Ave., Salt Lake City, UT, and look for the guy who is enamored by both his meal and amazingly beautiful wife!
