One of my saving graces while living in downtown Salt Lake City was my proximity to a gem of a specialty food market called Tony Caputo's. (www.caputosdeli.com) While living in Salt Lake City a few years ago, I headed down to Caputo's as often as occassion would permit. It was my little food oasis; my break from enduring endless days breathing in the city's chemical-laden air (what Salt Lakers call "the inversion") and my reward for having spent too long wandering bewildered and hanging onto a metal cart in the aisles of one of the city's many overpopulated, gaudy, superstores full of packaged industrial foods (which did little for my appetite).
