Vertical Diner and Sage’s Cafe are two leading restaurants in Utah that promote plant-based foods on their menu, with large offerings of exclusively vegetarian and vegan dishes. Today, vegan and vegetarian menu options aren’t uncommon — but 17 years ago, in 1998, it was rare… and the thought of opening a vegetarian-only restaurant in Salt Lake City seemed impossible.

A local and independent podcast founded by Chase Murdock and produced by Ryan Samanka, The Utah Foodie tells the untold stories behind Utah's fast-growing food scene. While podcast clips air on 90.9fm KRCL, full interviews are posted online at www.theutahfoodie.com.
