Chef Skyler McCallson Named to Utah Valley's 40 Under 40
Utah Valley BusinessQ just named our founder, Chef Skyler McCallson, one of its 40 Under 40 for 2026, and we are still grinning about it. The feature is called Heart and Hustle, and it profiles 40 people across Utah Valley chasing big ideas and actually pulling them off. Skyler, 33, made the list for building three food businesses out of Pleasant Grove: Under Wraps, our sister restaurant Wok the Line, and the Crack Spice seasoning company.

Anime Trivia Night in Utah: Otaku Nights at Under Wraps
Our dining room has a mural of anime characters sharing sushi at a long table. Sailor Moon is there. So are Luffy, Tanjiro, Saitama, and a dozen others.

What omakase night looks like a

Feast Your Eyes: Our Movie Themed Dinner Nights in Utah
Every month at Under Wraps, we pick a movie, build a multi-course menu around it, and serve each course while the film plays in the dining room. We call the series Feast Your Eyes, and the seats sell out almost every time. It started in April 2023 as a simple Chef Night, and every seat sold. The next one sold out twice in a single evening, so we kept going. Twenty-some themed dinners later, our biggest night packed 33 people in for Ponyo, and most themes now run two or three
