If The Dispensary restaurant were in a marijuana-friendly state like Oregon or Colorado, one could expect ganja guacamole or weed brownies to be on the menu.
But this new eatery is in Utah, where recreational cannabis is against the law. So pot pies — made with all-legal ingredients — will be the signature dish.
The restaurant, in a new space at 54 W. 1700 South in Salt Lake City (next to Sweet Lake Biscuits & Limeade), is expected to open sometime this week, said owner David Heiblim.
Heiblim, who opened Salt Lake City’s Este Pizza in 2004 when he was just 26, had originally set April 20 as the opening date, but ran into inspection and construction delays.
