Head for the Hof

Head for the Hof

Summer in Utah is filled with festivals and celebrations. The Park City Food & Wine Classic. Raspberry Days. The World Championship Dutch Oven Cook-off.

Winter—not so much. In fact, the post-holiday stretch can get pretty glum.

There’s Sundance, but that’s mainly fun for the imported crowd and serious film fans, and besides ChefDance, there’s not a lot to say about edibles.

So welcome Hof Winterfest in, um, Weber Country. 

Okay, it’s not exactly Mardi Gras, but there are alpenhorns—always fun!—oompah bands, plenty of polka. (!!) Guys in liederhosen. Girls in dirndls. Lots of schnitzel ‘n’ wurst. Beer!

And this year, those twisted cinnamon-sugar pastries I love from Crumb Brothers Bakery. Hof is held inside, so you don’t have to breathe the goop that’s passing as air right now. And—the clincher—it’s a chance to do the chicken dance. Tons of fun if you're a Brave Combo fan.
