If you’re from Holladay, you know Normandie Cafe. If you’re not, get yourself to the east side, and get a sandwich, a brownie, or some quiche, and get to know the Normandie Cafe. At the recommendation of the staff, I ordered the black bean burger with sweet potato fries. “Is it beef, or black beans,” […]
WRR: Greek City Grill
December 18, 2011 by
Latest contestant in that contest (to taste like a gyro) is the Greek City Grill. Two words to describe my experience there: Mission Accomplished.
The gyro was sliced lamb meat in a traditional white sauce on a warm and freshly baked pita. The meat was tasty and broke apart easily, but tasted like it had been cooked just a bit longer than necessary. Just barely, and it wouldn’t deter me from returning.

WRR: Robin’s Nest
November 5, 2011 by
Who doesn’t love a good sandwich? The first time I tried to get into Robin’s Nest the line was out the door, and I left. The second time, I came before the lunch rush, and I still had to wait. That’s almost always a good sign. In this case, the signs proved true. With a […]
