A practically record-setting DABS meeting went by in barely more than thirty minutes. That is mostly in part to the streamlined setup of meetings these days, most of the agenda is signed off on before proceedings start. Couple that with a surprisingly quiet roster of applicants for August, and even commissioners joked about the unusually short meeting length. Here’s who grabbed what this month:
Full-service restaurant license
- Kin Sen Thai Tapas, Holladay
- Fogo De Chao, Midvale
Pictured top is the Kao Kha Moo from Kin Sen in Millcreek. Expect more of the wonderful cuisine of owner Pornpimon Prathummas when it debuts in a few weeks time. She tells me the new business will focus on “small tapas and craft Thai cocktails.” Plan for a September 6th soft opening.
Bar licenses
With an improbable 28 bar licenses available in Utah this month, only one applicant was on the list.
- Neighbors Bar, Salt Lake City
Digging around, it seems this one will be located next to the Wasatch Cooperative Building (430 E. 900 S.) and be part of the Milk Block development. Expect an early October opening and a Taiwanese/American inspiration, reflecting the owners’ backgrounds. Kolbie Peterson of the Trib reported the owners as Danielle Petek, and Chase Worthen (The Pearl).
Limited-service restaurant license
Four new licenses of this type were handed out to:
- Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee and Social, West Jordan
- Tabeyo Sushi, Spanish Fork
- Mexi-Tacos, West Valley City
- La Vaca Steak House
Beer-only restaurant
And lastly, two sudsy certs given to the following duo:
- Sinaloa Town, Lehi
- El Gallo Giro, Provo
