Café Terigo has been a family owned restaurant since it opened its doors eighteen year ago on Main Street in downtown Park City. Ed Axtell, the owner and head chef, and his wife Debbie, have resided in Park City for the past thirty years - and it sounds like they've been feeding people good food that entire time. Ed started his career working in a pizza restaurant before moving to Park City, when the population was considerably smaller (and probably unable to sustain the number of multi-star restaurants that it does today). Debbie saw a need for professional food service and started a catering company. Eventually, their mutual passion for providing good food to the Park City area led them to create Café Terigo.

Michael, you should get the new (2004) edition of "On Food and Cooking", the same risotto tip is given there (p. 475).
The link in the "Recommended Reading" section is out of date too.

What timing! I just received my copy of the updated On Food and Cooking this evening.
I updated the link.
Thanks for the heads up!

Sorry I am a stranger. I am so amazed by your enthusiasm for cooking. I've been to Park City. It's a "cool" place.

Great site. I'm not an engineer (well, I've got one on my doctoral committe), but this site speaks to me on so many levels.
If you're going to the store to buy rice to make risotto look for arborio rice. If you're at home, or can't find arborio, there is a nice summary of possible substitutions here http://www.americastestkitchen.com/TastingLab/1393.shtml

the rice tip is good, but i find foodsubs.com to be an easier site to use- and it doesn't require registration.

You really should visit Snake Creek Grill in Heber if you are in the Park City Area ( www.snakecreekgrill.com ). It is well worth the trip.

Subject: Cafe Terigo
One of my favorite restaurants when I lived in Park City years ago. I have written a lot about Park City restaurants on my web site The Reluctant Gourmet at www.reluctantgourmet.com but never Cafe Terigo. I think that's because my wife and I had one of our most embarrassing moment there when our very young daughter accidently threw up on the couple behind us. Lucky for us we were friends with the couple and they completely understood.
