Rita Magalde:

My passion for baklava began at the age of 16 when I worked for a Greek family and fell in love with the cuisine. By blending their Greek baking techniques with my southern roots, Sheer Ambrosia’s unique southern-style baklava was born, quickly becoming a favorite nationwide.

What began in my home kitchen has grown into a full-scale commercial bakery with 14 distinct flavors. From local farmers markets to national online sales and wholesale partnerships, Sheer Ambrosia has gained a loyal following. We even caught the attention of NPR’s Marketplace.

This holiday season, we’re launching gourmet gift crates packed with not just baklava, but our signature granola, chocolate chip cookies, Greek butter cookies, biscotti, and more. Each crate also comes with Sheer Ambrosia-branded items like a beautiful apron, a candle, and mugs, making it the perfect gift.

Ready to experience these delicious treats? Visit SheerAmbrosiaBakery.com or our Salt Lake City storefront to pick up on State Street today.

Derek Miller:

Sheer Ambrosia isn’t just about great treats, but also community impact. This year, they were honored with the Utah Black Chamber of Commerce’s Inaugural Business of the Year award. So, why not treat yourself and support a community-focused business? I’m Derek Miller with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.

Dr. Mike Weinberger:

We’re often asked who can benefit from chiropractic care. Well, if you have a spine, we can help!

Think of it as a holistic way to treat your body without pills or surgery. Everyone can benefit from chiropractic care, and we treat ALL members of the family, from infants to kids to adults, and even moms-to-be.

On your first appointment the doctor will sit down with you for a private exam and review your medical history to find out what’s hurting you and why. You’ll then receive a full-body chiropractic adjustment and finish with a relaxing hydrotherapy massage, which will work out tension in your neck and back and help your body hold that adjustment just a little bit longer.

We have your back at NuSpine.

So, whether you're a supporter, a provider, or someone who has faced mental health challenges yourself, your voice matters. Together, we can create a world where mental health is prioritized, where resources are accessible, and where change is not just possible but inevitable.

Bryan Hill:

Since Vestar purchased The Gateway, $100 million has been invested to upgrade and revitalize the development, ultimately transitioning from a shopping center to a lifestyle destination in Salt Lake City. It has become known as a thriving hub of retail, dining, entertainment, business, and arts and culture.

It also serves as an integrated campus for some of Utah’s most innovative life sciences companies, as well as Kiln, a coworking space with multiple locations in the West.

The Gateway is committed to being a central gathering place by hosting more than 200 community events and cultural celebrations annually. These include everything from the Pride Festival and Festa Italiana, to July 4th and New Year’s Eve celebrations.

This fall, we welcome Asher Adams, a boutique hotel that’s part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection. This stunning centerpiece is an extensive historic remodel of Union Pacific Station.

So, even as The Gateway approaches its 25th year, we continue to reinvent it to ensure it stays relevant.

Derek Miller:

Between the announcement of the 2034 Winter Olympics and all the plans for potential further revitalization of downtown, there are some great implications for The Gateway. We will look forward to seeing the continued evolution. I’m Derek Miller with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
