Southern Utah Restaurants That Should Cater Your Wedding!
Have you ever been to a wedding and it was time to eat... and the food was AWESOME?!
That happened to me this weekend. My cousin got married and they said COME AND EAT! Now usually at catered events, the food is either REALLY GREAT, or pretty crappy! This weekend, it was SPECTACULAR!
It was Mexican Food! Chicken Enchiladas, rice, beans, street tacos, chicken, beef, chips, salsa, and churros! WOWWWW! YES!
I did the BEST THING EVER... I played the "Sweetheart Card" and told my Grandma I would that get her a plate. Now, why was this the best thing ever? Because my grandma weighs like 92 pounds. I made her and identical plate to mine. STACKED TALL with enchiladas, tacos, rice and beans! I knew she wouldn't be able to eat all that food... But when she's full, I'll be there to eat the rest of the food! I'm a GENIUS!
If you're having a wedding, and you invite me... HERE is a list of the places I request for you to have cater it:
Pasta Factory:
Fettuccine Alfredo. YUM. Breadsticks. EVEN MORE YUM! You can never go wrong with Pasta Factory. EVER.
Island Grinds:
People like Chicken from an Hawaiian restaurant... But not me. I'm ALL ABOUT the Teriyaki Beef, and rice, but more importantly... MAC SALAD!
Chick-Fil-A:
Thousands of Chicken Nuggets and thousands of Chick-Fil-A sauces, and I'm a HAPPY CAMPER!
Riggatti's:
I've actually had this at a wedding and it was awesome! Hot, delicious pizza at a wedding?! YASS QUEEN!
Angelica's Mexican Grill:
Street Tacos FOR DAYS, BABY! Plus their rice and beans are dope too!
Southern Utah Says: 12 Minutes is PERFECT!
You're being romantic with your significant other... Or some random person you met on Tinder! Well... How long should this last? Is 3 minutes acceptable, or will she make fun of me to her friends? Should it be an hour? Is that overkill?
Well, according to a poll I did on my personal Instagram account, over 50% said the PERFECT amount of time is between 10-15 minutes, 30% said AT LEAST 20 minutes, 15% said between 5-10 minutes, while 5% said 0-5 minutes is the sweet spot!
According to Healthline.com, "10 to 30 minutes is considered too long and Sex Therapists say 7-13 minutes is the most desirable."
This whole idea of "How long?" came into my head last week getting a haircut where I was overhearing a couple of the hairstylists talking about how long is "too long". They said 10 minutes is pushing the boundaries... WHICH BLEW MY MIND TO HEAR! I feel like Movies and TV Shows have always made us believe that women want an hour, and men want 3 minutes. But according to my independent study on my own instagram... That is just not true.
With all of this said... I don't recommend bringing a stopwatch into the bedroom. If there is a stopwatch, a man is going to view that as a challenge. He will try to beat his last record... whether that's trying for 15 seconds, or trying to 3 hours. This will NOT be good for the partner, so stay away from the stopwatch!
But also, when does that clock start? The second you walk in the door? The second a kiss takes place? The second "How you doin?" comes out of your mouth? I guess that's left up to you! But remember... 30 minutes is GENERALLY considered TOO LONG!

No Way! Tuacahn's Next Play Is WHAT?!
Tuacahn is Broadway in the Desert! It's always a ton of fun going to a play at Tuacahn. It's beautiful, it's fun, great snacks! This season, Tuacahn is doing THESE musicals:
- Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
- Tarzan
- The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
A pretty solid set, right? Well... here are my ideas for Tuacahn to do NEXT YEAR!
1. 50 Shades Of Grey:
Imagine the seats packed for this one. 90% women, 10% men. Screw it... I'll even play Christian Grey! Tuacahn needs a little bit of edge for next season!
2. Weekend at Bernie's:
This is one of the greatest movies ever made... and every time I watch it, I have more questions. Like this... HOW HAS RIGOR MORTIS NOT SET IN?! If you don't know, Weekend At Bernie's is about a guy that is dead and they throw sunglasses on him, and NOBODY at the party can tell he's actually dead. Even more shocking: They SOMEHOW got a sequel!
3. Mrs. Doubtfire:
This would be fun to see! Especially the end scene where Mrs. Doubtfire is going back and forth between Doubtfire and Daniel. Full makeup to no makeup! Let's make it happen, Tuacahn!
4: The Hangover:
Another play for the adults! Give it to us! It's funny, it's fun, it's lighthearted, it's a mystery. WE WANT IT!
5. Find Josh: The Musical:
This is the one that would SELL OUT day one. How a man named Josh stole the hearts of Southern Utah for a week in June. We're all on the hunt to find him in this thrilling romantic comedy.
If Southern Utah Towns Were Schitt's Creek Characters!
Hurricane:
Rowland Schitt. A LOTTA BIT redneck, but everyone loves him. Very funny, very innocent. VERY HURRICANE!
Cedar City:
If ANYBODY on the show SCREAMS Cedar City... It's Bob. I don't know what it is about him, but I wouldn't be shocked AT ALL if he was actually from Color Country!
Sun River:
Sun River, absolutely is Johnny Rose! Very classy, older guy, always wears a suit... Probably not a swinger like SO MANY of the Sun River residents!
Little Valley:
Little Valley. David Rose. The Few, The Proud, The Little Valleyians. They know they're the best, they know they're better than all of us. That's ALL DAVID ROSE!
Kayenta:
Kayenta is where ALL THAT MONEY IS AT! Like... Millions! That's Moira, baby!
Washington:
Jocelyn Schitt is Washington City! A little bit country, a little bit redneck, but SO MUCH HEART. So much love. She's like a nice warm hug.
Desert Color:
Desert Color is the new development out by BigShots Golf. If you've ever been out there, the residents ALL want to be influencers, and they want EVERYONE to know that they are living in Desert Color. Alexis Rose!
Enterprise:
Enterprise is Twyla! A sweetheart, a little bit country, just nice! That's ALL ENTERPRISE... minus the corn!

Ranking The HOTTEST Mayors In St. George History
Look... I appreciate history. Especially the history of my hometown, St. George, Utah. Another thing I can appreciate... HOTTNESS! I will now be ranking the Hottest Mayors in the history of St. George, Utah.
If you also appreciate history and hottness, this list is for YOU!
(In no particular order)
1. Thomas Judd
He's a virgo, a father of 10, and a Bugle player in the Navajo Indian War. As if that's not enough to get him on this list... he also had a sexy British accent! Thomas was born in Chestershire, England, before making his way to St. George when he was 19 years old. You may recognize his name from his VERY St. George Famous store/restaurant that's still around today! Thomas Judd's Store Co., known simply as "Judd's".
#2. Karl Brooks
Karl was a REAL St. Georgian! Born here, passed here. But what gets him on the list of HOTTNESS is a couple things. 1. THOSE BABY BLUES! Check out those peepers, man! I'm a sucker for blue eyes, and he had great ones! 2. What's hotter than helping our community? Not much. Karl was Mayor for 12 years (1982-1994) and the city EXPLODED with him at the helm! St. George went from 7-square miles to 60-square miles and 10,000 in population to 50,000 in population!
#3. Bill Barlocker
What puts Bill on this list? Don't ask stupid questions! LOOK AT THOSE TEETH! This photo was taken in what? the 60's? Teeth in the 60's were usually like the Spice Girls: They're all different colors, and doing their own thing! Also... That hairline! I'm actually jealous of it. Guaranteed this dude never went bald. The teeth and hairline get Bill on this list with zero questions asked!
#4. Joseph Young
Did his photo give you a jump-scare? Me too. And that's HOT! He looks like he just hid a body somewhere on Pine Valley, but those eyes are piercing! Another great hairline, great eyes, full-on Amish beard, and those cheekbones? COME ON JOSEPH! Save some scary but sexy features for the rest of us. If you see Joseph in your dreams, it's either the best dream you've ever had, or the worst nightmare you've ever had, and there's no in-between.
#5. Anthony Ivins
Before ANYTHING else... The dude is just hot. I'm jealous of the beard. I'm jealous of his hairline, and i'm jealous of his overall swag. He was born in New Jersey, made the trek across the plains as a 1-year old baby! That's SHOCKING that he even survived. That's HOT. Seven years later, he and his family made the trek to St. George to be one of the first families to ever live here. Plus... The city of Ivins is named after him! 100% HOT!
#6. Current Mayor: Michele Randall
She's the FIRST female Mayor in St. George history. THAT'S HOT! I'm a sucker for firsts, and that's a big one! Plus... the obvious! She's a babe and we all know it. But the biggest reason she's on this list has been her fight with cancer. She had her own battle with Breast Cancer and she's come out on top! My own mother had her battle in 2020, and Michele was there for her. It was VERY COOL and I've loved her ever since. She's also used her platform to encourage women to get their annual mammograms! And that's definitely HOT!
