What to expect at the Goat Head, Salt Lake's fresh and sunny occult-themed cafe
Take a "cul(t)inary" trip to the dark side at Salt Lake City's new Satanic -goat-worshipping cafe.
Driving the news: The Goat Head opened a few weeks ago in the former KoKo Kitchen location at 300 East and 700 South, with breakfast and lunch offerings to tempt the devil himself.
What's inside: The menu features standard — but solid — diner fare with names like "Morning ritual" (eggs, protein and potatoes), "Children of the Corn" (shrimp and grits) and "Hail Seitan" (seitan sandwich).
There are several vegan and vegetarian dishes, just in case animal sacrifice isn't your thing.
The cafe serves a handful of local beers and mimosas, including the "Emily's Hazed" lavender lemonade with prosecco.
Zoom in: I tried the "Poultry in Motion" pulled chicken sandwich ($15) with the leek and mushroom soup du jour ($6).
The sammy was a flavorful surprise, with a noticeably strong pickle and a soft pretzel bun.
Between the lines: The occult theming is generally limited to the restaurant's name, logo and menu. The interior is minimalist and sunny, with no altars or dead chickens to be found (except the one in my sandwich).
When to go: The Goat Head is open 8am-3pm Tuesday through Sunday.
