Reply to comment by Bri-guy15 in TIL about the "Raines sandwich;" an inedible piece of "food" that served as a way to bypass prohibition laws. by Alabussy

Some restaurants in Utah used to do stuff like that because you couldn’t just have alcohol if you were at a restaurant bar. They’d give you some bread or something like that to get around it. This one place my friends worked at would give you a slice of bread when you sat. It was just a piece of bread…on a plate…nothing else.

Utah also had a Zion curtain law until five years ago that required restaurants to have a barrier between bartenders and customers to prevent people from seeing alcohol poured or mixed.

Utah sounds like it would be no fun.

I get that there are beautiful places to go and explore but there are beautiful places to go explore everywhere. I don't want to also navigate the most convoluted laws in a place that has far too many soda shoppes.

From a booze perspective, probably not.

BUT sugar isn’t a restricted substance, so there’s a lot of fun and crazy desserteries.

This was prior to the curtain law when you didn’t have to have one…

Well there's bread cake ... bread sorbet ... bread pudding ... or strawberry tart.

Man Strawberry tart?!

Woman Well, it's got some bread in it.

Man How much?

Woman Three (rather a lot really).

Man ... well, I'll have a slice without so much bread in it.
