This is a great excuse to take a break from the daily grind of life and enjoy a challenging day of running in the Wasatch Mountains. Park City offers lots of fun and activities for family and friends who are not racing, along with tons of options for lodging, food, and drink. The course is hilly and challenging, but also fast and runnable. The route will take you through beautiful wooded terrain, epic views, and a little slice of local history. Twisted Fork is a 68 kilometer (42.2 miles) race with 6,105' of elevation gain over some of our favorite trails in Park City, Utah. I would highly recommend going to the Twisted Fork.THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED Event Description My check was under $40 for fresh seafood, alcohol, and a entertainment. Plus, it’s just fun! The prices are very fair. It’s a great place to try out something new because you can trust that the dish will impress you. The Twisted Fork is more than a meal it’s an experience. Jay is loud and a little unpredictable while Nancy is more modest and even-toned. Jay and Nancy kept us entertained with cute anecdotes and back-and-forth banter. Also, they have a full bar with a good selection of draft beers including Wormtown (bonus points) to enjoy while you wait. Considering the level of quality and refinement, I thought the length of service was justified. Service was a little long, because, as Jay explained, they have a rather small kitchen with three burners. There were a few others at the table that ordered same dish. It really complimented the scallops and the blood orange olive oil, which gave the plate a little bit of tartness and a little bit of sweetness. The puree was velvety smooth and perfectly balanced. WOW! The scallops were great but the standout component of the dish was the parsnip puree. It was a higher quality of entertainment than I expected on a Tuesday night.įor dinner, I ordered the Seared Scallops served on a parsnip puree topped with a bacon emulsion (made with bacon from BT’s Smokehouse in Sturbridge) and drizzled with a blood orange olive oil. Meanwhile every now and then Jay would yell something to us through the window in the kitchen. Nancy told charming stories as she took our order. Nancy waited on our group with another server while Jay prepared our meals in the kitchen. Jay and Nancy, his wife and business partner, are playful and friendly. It was not on the menu, but if they’re reading this, I hope they consider adding it. This fully cooked sow was later served as a welcoming course to our group in the form of slow-cooked shredded pork tacos with jalapeño slaw and a side of truffle fries. What the Twisted Fork lacks in location and first impressions, it makes up for in personality. I especially love chefs who are brave enough to pair unexpected ingredients–something I had heard the Twisted Fork is known for.ĭriving by the strip mall where the Twisted Fork is located, you might assume it was a diner but you would be wrong. Jay explained that every item on the menu is locally sourced and that he personally knows his vendors. Come to find out, Jay writes his menus seasonally and sometimes it changes even more often than that based on what local protein, produce, and dairy he can source.
The website was under construction and the Facebook page only offered a specialty menu. I was disappointed that I was unable to do so for the Twisted Fork. If you’re like me, you look at a restaurant’s menu in advance. In the weeks leading up to my visit to the Twisted Fork, I wondered if Uncle Jay’s savory reputation would match his menu and flavors. He’s known for his charisma and unapologetic persona. If you’ve never heard of the Twisted Fork Bistro, you may have heard of owner and Executive Chef Jay Powell a.k.a Uncle Jay.
