Empanada How-To
On Wednesday, Dec. 14, Craft Lake City and Argentina's Best Empanadas (357 S. 200 East, Salt Lake City, ArgentinasBestSLC.com) join forces to present an empanada-making workshop. The hands-on event is taught by Ana Valdemoros, founder of Argentina's Best, who began selling freshly baked empanadas at the Downtown Farmers Market in 2006 before opening her own storefront downtown. Participants can learn the basics of filling and folding empanadas, and take a dozen home to bake. "I'm so excited to teach this workshop and share my most favorite thing in the world," Valdemoros says via email. The class starts at 6:30 p.m. and costs $35 per person. Online pre-registration is required; visit CraftLakeCity.com/Workshops.

B-I-N-G-O!
As regular customers of Spitz restaurants already know, the folks there like to play games. Each Spitz location stocks a bewildering selection of board, card and strategy games, among many others, as a courtesy for their guests. Not to mention a kitschy collection of vinyl covers that adds to the delightful décor. Now, every Tuesday night from 8-9:30 p.m., Spitz in Sugar House (1201 Wilmington Ave., 385-322-1140, SpitzSLC.com) hosts bingo night for all ages, offering craft beers, sangria and other adult beverages for the 21-and-over crowd.
