Had to give a huge shoutout to this guy for being named a finalist for a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Mountain.
Chef Travis and I have been close friends for over 20 years and business partners for the past two—and I couldn’t be more proud to work alongside him. He’s not only an incredibly talented chef, but a genuinely great person. He leads a tight kitchen rooted in positivity, inclusion, and a real commitment to developing the people around him.
I’m lucky to call him both a friend and a partner, and our teams at Felt and Brownstone are lucky to have him at the helm. Big love as well to the incredibly talented Chef Sapo at Felt and Chef Kayley at Brownstone, along with Bar Director Josh Van Gorden and the entire teams at both spots—you all play a huge role in what we’re building.
Congrats, Chef. Well deserved.

Happy birthday to my beautiful wife @jennyhong_ ! We’ve had a wild couple years filled with so much growth, change, and adventure. I am in constant awe of your strength, determination, and patience. I couldn’t ask for a more amazing partner to navigate life with. Junho, Kenji, and I are truly lucky to have you in our lives. I love you!
Thank you to @waste_less_solutions for inviting @felt_slc and Executive Chef @cheftravisherbert out for last night’s second annual #SecondChanceDance! The focus of last night’s fundraising event was to celebrate community, sustainability, and the delicious possibilities of upcycled food, along with highlight some of SLC’s most talented chefs.
Big shoutout to Chef Travis for taking home the People’s Choice last night! The bite he served was a small window into the creativity and sustainable practices our kitchen team implements on a daily basis at Felt.
Come on down to Felt this week to high-five Chef Travis and sample some of our delicious menu before we switch over for the Fall/Winter season.
Cheers!

UPDATE FOR OUR SLC FRIENDS:
Felt lost power last night during the fire, but we did not suffer any major damages. We lost our food and were forced to close today to clean & restock.
To offer a sliver of good news on a day filled with heavy hearts, we can happily say that Felt will be back in business tomorrow, Wednesday, August 13th for regular service at 4pm.
To our neighbors at Tapatíos, London Belle, Whiskey Street, and White Horse whose buildings were destroyed — plus the other businesses who suffered damages — we are devastated at your loss, hoping for your full rebuild & recovery, and just down the street to offer a hug & a Fernet in these tough times.
Follow the link in our bio to donate to the Main Street Fire Employee Assistance Fund. To quote the Downtown Alliance, which is working with business owners to facilitate the donations for 200+ service industry workers affected by the fire, “100% of your donation will go directly to helping these employees cover essential expenses—rent, groceries, transportation—during this difficult time.”
Hope to see you all soon, SLC. Love & gratitude from the Felt fam. Cheers 💕

I have been in awe of @jennyhong_ for years but seeing her navigate growing our child has taken it to a whole new level. Jenny, you are the strongest and most beautiful person I have ever known.
