When I sat down and looked around the room at Jasmine China Bistro and Sushi Bar, my first thought was: is this a retirement community? No, it was not, but the lunch time crowd made it seem so. There must have been a “Senior Citizens Welcome” sign on the front door that I missed. Fortunately, […]
WRR: Cotton Bottom Inn
October 20, 2011 by
There’s no reason you should write off a venue just because it looks like a run down, hole-in-the-wall shack. I mean, as long as all you want is a darn good burger, then the venue shouldn’t really bother you too much, right? (I mean, short of anything dangerous to your moral sensibilities or common sense, […]
DP Cheesesteaks: great cheesesteak, great bread, great location
October 6, 2011 by
If you’re absolutely sure you won’t get on a plane and fly to Philadelphia, then DP Cheesesteaks is the place for you. Its a heck of a lot closer, a heck of a lot cleaner, and, without a doubt, probably just as good. Found on Broadway in downtown Salt Lake City, DP Cheesesteaks already has […]
Mekong Cafe: Padang, bada bing!
October 5, 2011 by
There are two things I would improve about the Mekong Cafe. 1. Move to somewhere closer to downtown, or even to downtown itself. 2. Expand the parking lot.

With a couple of chairs and small tables outside and a flat glass window, you don’t know what you’re getting when you walk up to Este Pizzeria. What you get is faux urban, pop culture decorated, and all deliciousness. I ordered a half-half split pizza–half all cheese for my friend, toppings of sausage, some onions, […]
Maxwell’s East Coast Eatery: Good Lunch, Slow Service
September 17, 2011 by
If you’re in a hurry, do not try Maxwell’s East Coast Eatery. Situated just north of fourth south on Main Street in Salt Lake City, Maxwell’s is an obvious stop for the downtown crowd. Occupying the corner of the building, Maxwell’s is lots of polished wood, a central bar, large televisions, and high stools. It’s […]
Chunga’s: Good Mexican Food, Just Outside of Downtown
September 16, 2011 by
The great thing about finding good Mexican food off the beaten path is that you don’t have to wait in line. Walk right up, place your order, and find a seat. Five minutes later, you’re enjoying your enchiladas, heaps of beans and rice, washed down by your favorite soft drink. You can worry about the […]
