Is Cafe Rio Good Again? Salt Lake’s $950K Neighborhood, Gluten-Free Pie
Can Cafe Rio be restored to its former glory? Host Ali Vallarta, newsletter editor Terina Ria, and City Cast Salt Lake contributor Molly Miloscia talk about the new menu item that's a love letter (or apology) to Utahns. Plus, Salt Lake homes cost more than ever, picks of the week, and in our members-only segment: copy/paste coffee shops and unique alternatives.
