Chile Fest!
It’s green chile season again, so Z’Tejas will host its seventh annual Chile Fest through Sept. 26, donating $1 from each Chile Festival-menu entree purchased to the Burn Trauma Intensive Care Unit at the University Hospital. “The green chile has a rich history in Southwest cuisine, and our annual Chile Fest is an opportunity to highlight entrées featuring the green chile and to share authentic Southwestern flavor with our guests here in Salt Lake City,” said Todd Gardiner, Z’Tejas executive chef. “At Z’Tejas, we strive to be strong community supporters. Working with the Burn Trauma ICU at the University of Utah allows us to help burn survivors along the Wasatch Front and throughout the Intermountain West.” All funds donated during Chile Fest will be used to send burn survivors, both children and adults, to Burn Camp, an annual program that supports burn survivors and helps them cope with the personal and emotional challenges that come after a severe burn. Special Chile Fest menu items include chile grilled shrimp salad, Southwestern paella and green chile barbacoa rellenos. ZTejas.com
