Episode 38 (s2): Mikko Utter

Not many places was as frequently recommended as the Mikko Utter located in about drive away from Helsinki, in the tiny city of Lohja. Mikko Utter is special in many ways, as it is service, cooking and everything by one man (Mikko himself) for 8 people (max seating).  Mikko imports his wines and sources the ingredients locally, and as the amount of recommendations would suggest - the food was amazing.

With me joining Mikko Utter was my long term colleague, an amazing wine enthusiast and a great person - Kaj Hege Häggman. I really loved the conversation and now after moving away from Helsinki, I certainly missed hearing his voice while editing this. Hege has been living in US while working for Nokia and Gaming companies, and we discuss in this episode that perspective on food. 

For the Dinner, we all 8 in the restaurant got the food at the same time, with common introductions. Everything was fresh, seasonal and tasty. 

I'd call this restaurant something that every foodie should explore at least once in Finland.
