TRUreligion Pancake and Steakhouse believes everyone, and everything, deserves a second chance

 

Why would Jim Leany go to the trouble of transplanting landmark decor from Salt Lake’s Main Street to State Street in Orem, and why did he give his restaurant the curious name of TRUreligion Pancake and Steakhouse?

 

Turns out the answer is the same to both questions.

“I believe in second chances,” Jim says. “Whether it’s people or furniture or whatever it is. Nothing should just get discarded and left on the side of the road. I believe that true service is true religion.”

 

It’s a second chance of sorts for Jim, too. A decade ago, he was broke, recently divorced and on his way to Utah from Colorado looking for a change of scenery and a fresh start.

How Andy Reid built on his legacy with a historic third Super Bowl title

Andy Reid is now one of only five coaches to win three Super Bowl championships.

 

“He’s one of the best coaches of all-time. I believe he’s the best coach of all-time,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes said after his third Super Bowl MVP night. “... The way he’s able to navigate every single team he has and continue to have success no matter where he’s at — and for me, he brings out the best in me.

 

“That’s important. He doesn’t try to make me anyone else. I don’t think I would be the quarterback that I am without coach Reid being my head coach. He wants you to be the best person you can be, and that’s something truly special.”
