Riding horses in the Mountain West & hosting City Cast Salt Lake. Like any good mixologist, Ali Vallarta wanted to shake things up. “I found myself going to the same seven bars over and over. Like, every week, we’re back at the same places. There’s so much more to see and more people to meet.” It’s safe to say that’s no problem after her year-long adventure.
That’s because Vallarta — whose day job is hosting the City Cast Salt Lake City podcast — decided at the beginning of 2023 that she was going to do something a little crazy: grab a drink at every bar in Salt Lake County. She drank at 211 bars in all. The tour would be a bit of a logistical challenge. Sure, bars near her downtown Salt Lake City apartment would be relatively easy to pick off. But watering holes farther away required friendly designated drivers, geographic travel optimization, and, well, a lot of drinking.
We dive into Ali's bar bouncing adventure, and take a deeper dive into getting to know her through the lens of food, and drink. Bill brought his badgering of interviewing questions, Jimmy brought a luxurious Orange Wine, and Dawson hit the lights, started the camera, and put them into action.
