Nearly four decades ago, Guinney — along with business partners Tom Sieg and John Williams — opened the first Market Street Grill and Oyster Bar in downtown Sieg died in 2008 and Williams, who retired more than six years ago, was killed in a house fire in 2016 — the blaze set by his estranged husband — Craig Crawford Last October, Guinney, shocked the Utah dining community when he abruptly closed the New Yorker The Williams estate owns the space; future plans are unclear Guinney had been the sole proprietor of the Market Street restaurant until Friday A funeral Mass will be Tuesday at noon at the Cathedral of the Madeleine son-in-law Jon Bird and granddaughter Faye Bird Guinney grew up in the restaurant industry peeling potatoes and busing tables — then doing kitchen prep work — in a coffee shop his father owned he worked at Delaney’s seafood in Newport Beach and opened up new restaurants A mutual friend introduced him to Williams who wanted to open a seafood restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City — taking advantage of what was then Western Airlines’ ability to fly in fresh fish each day from Alaska and the West Coast " I thought Utah was the perfect place to grow a business," he told The Salt Lake Tribune in 2017. “Salt Lake City was more affordable [than California] and there was this readily available workforce just a few miles away at the University of Utah.” When Market Street opened, Guinney said, he carried around “a scroungy notebook, covered with stains, with recipes like the clam chowder, the cocktail sauce and tartar sauce." The popular clam chowder was made with a butter and flour roux, and filled with onions, celery, fresh leeks, sherry and extra-heavy whipping cream. “It’s one of the finest clam chowders in the United States,” Guinney said. “The consistency is perfect.” Over the past four decades, Guinney served on numerous committees and community organizations, including leadership positions with the Downtown Alliance, Salt Lake Chamber, and Visit Salt Lake. Many of Utah’s most successful restaurant owners, chefs and managers learned the business while working for Guinney. “All of us who enjoy the vibrant hospitality scene downtown owe Tom a debt of gratitude,” leaders of the chamber and alliance said in a joint statement. “It is no coincidence that dozens of Salt Lake’s most vibrant restaurants and bars are clustered around the original Market Street Grill and former New Yorker club. Tom and his partners planted a flag on Market Street that is Salt Lake’s epicurean ground zero.” Derek Miller, president and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber, and Dee Brewer, executive director of the Downtown Alliance, wrote that Guinney and his co-founders “raised the bar for dining ambiance, cuisine and particularly for dining service. They trained generations of hospitality workers and leaders that are now working in various industries across the state.” In addition to their contributions to Salt Lake City’s burgeoning culinary scene, the statement said, “Gastronomy’s adaptive reuse of downtown buildings has preserved many historic gems in our urban core." Mayor Jackie Biskupski awarded Guinney the Key to the City in 2017 for his contributions to hospitality, philanthropy, the arts, and beautifying and preserving historic parts of the city. “Like many others,” she said in a statement, “I considered Tom both a friend and a mentor." While not originally from Salt Lake City, “this was his hometown,” the statement said. “As a successful business owner and community member, he was generous with his time, talents and resources. Kind to friend and stranger alike, and always looking for ways to improve this community through his work.” Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article These territories were all captured by Israel though the Sinai Peninsula was later returned to Egypt when Israel launched a preemptive assault against the Egyptian and Syrian air forces the information further heightened tensions between Israel and its Arab neighbors capturing it from Syrian forces after a day of heavy fighting The Arab countries’ losses in the conflict were disastrous.

Burns said there was no single factor that forced the closure only “that times and dining tastes change.” The final blow, however, may have come in September, when the Salt Lake County Health Department announced that as many as 650 customers who consumed food or beverages at the New Yorker Restaurant between July 25 and Aug. 15 may have been exposed to the hepatitis A virus an employee worked while infected and potentially handled certain food or beverage items The agency believes this case is linked to the ongoing hepatitis A outbreak Salt Lake County has been experiencing since mid-2017 Tom Sieg and business partner John Williams opened the New Yorker in the basement of the New York Hotel. They brought Tom Guinney into the fold in 1980. Eventually, the three formed Gastronomy Inc. Guinney is the last survivor of the founding trio. Sieg died in 2008, and Williams was killed in a house fire in 2016 The Williams estate owns the New Yorker space so any future plans for the building were unclear the New Yorker reflected a classic 1940s art deco elegance with a stained-glass ceiling and luxurious banquettes elements that originated from the historic Hotel Utah Will Pliler was the restaurant’s culinary stalwart joining the staff during its first year and serving as executive chef since 1984 always working on new dishes and keeping the menu current president of the Utah Restaurant Association Pliler was the restaurant association’s 2018 Chef of the Year “It was Utah’s most unique fine-dining establishment,” Sine said “It will be a sad loss for fine dining in Utah.” In its heyday as a private club, Salt Lake City Mayor Deedee Corradini was a regular as were those who attended the Utah Symphony, the Utah Opera and plays at the Capitol Theatre. Even the legendary Luciano Pavarotti ate there after a performance. “It was so packed,” Burns recalled. “It was the place to go for a lunch. It was the place to go after work for cocktails." For many of those power brokers, however, the New Yorker lost some of luster when Utah did away with private club membership. Through the years, Pliler tried to recapture the midday crowd with specially priced lunches, but ultimately the restaurant opened only for dinner. “For many years, when it was a private club, the clientele was exclusive. You had to be a member — or know one — to get in,” said Utah chef Dave Prows, who worked for Gastronomy early in his career. "I hate to see a place with a great tradition close,” he added. “The New Yorker had that.” Our latest & greatest straight to your inboxSign up You should never have to settle for mediocre food when
