If you’re going to go out for BBQ, you might as well go get it right off the barbecue. Serious. I have no idea how I found it, but Firehouse BBQ puts the fire, and the BBQ, back into…well, you get the point. While my friend and I are sitting there examining and enjoying the sweet […]
K-Rico Peru: Salty, Rich, and Worth a Try
September 2, 2011 by
It’s almost hidden, squished into a strip mall just down the street from Home Depot on Third West, and I had to drive by twice before I could find it. K-Rico Peru. I’m glad I did, though I may not go back too soon, which I’ll explain. With large televisions blaring news from Peru (because […]
Bohemian Brewery & Grill: Sprechen ze Good Food?
August 27, 2011 by
If it were to be judged solely on the service, then Bohemian Brewery & Grill would earn a “Two Thumbs Up” and a Gold Star, too. Add food to the equation, and I doubt the score would change. Within seconds of walking into the Bohemian for the first time, I was greeted with a smile, […]
Crown Burger: The King of Second South

Rio Grande Cafe: The Right Place for Lunch
July 30, 2011 by
It is hard for me to criticize the Rio Grande Cafe. The place has great food, great atmosphere, and generally good service. It has become my “go to” when nothing else will fit the bill for lunch. During my most recent trip over to Rio Grande, we arrived a little after the noon hour, and […]
J. Wong’s Asian Bistro: Priced for Value, Cooked to Taste
July 23, 2011 by
There aren’t a lot of restaurants in downtown Salt Lake where you can find good service, upscale food, and clean and attractive decor…for under $10. J. Wong’s Asian Bistro on 200 South just one such place. From the minute we pulled up (and got rock star parking directly in front of the building) to the […]
