Based on my very limited experience, 1 PM is a great time to eat at Thaifoon. The lunch crowd has hit the road, you’re extra hungry, since you’re late for lunch, and you can just smell the food cooking. We pulled in as everyone else was pulling out, were quickly seated by a smiling waitress who quickly […]
Yanni’s Greek Express: gyros for the rushed.
July 15, 2011 by
A quickie, because sometimes that’s all you have time for. Unless you have been hiding under a rock (with the Geico guys), then you know that Salt Lake City has an abundance of Greek owned and themed restaurants. This week, I visited Yanni’s Greek Express. Fast. Greek. And good. I ordered, of course, a gyro (pronounced […]
Edo Kitchen: it’s West African cuisine, you know?
June 19, 2011 by
West African cuisine tastes as West African cuisine tastes…and if you don’t like it, you better acquire the taste or go eat somewhere else. (Might I recommend Oh, Falafel! just down the street?) But what is it and what does it taste like? Hidden in the back of a strip mall just off of 2100 […]
Bear Paw Cafe: Not Worth Waiting In Line
June 18, 2011 by
If it weren’t for the wait, Bear Paw Cafe might be a decent breakfast. Heck, their Bear Paw French Toast — fresh “egg bread” an inch and a half thick stuffed with either spiced apples, vanilla bruleé cream or chocolate bruleé cream–is a good breakfast. The hash browns are freshly made and sans a decent dose […]
Tabasco’s Restaurant: The Best Mexican Food You’ve Never Heard About
May 21, 2011 by
Maybe I better qualify this post’s title: I’ve only had one dish at Tabasco’s. It was unlike any dish I’ve had at any other place, so it may not be a completely fair comparison. The dish, however, was amazing. Called “Molcajete,” which is a Mexican way of saying “a mortar and pestle,” the dish will […]
Philly’s Cheesesteak & More: Emphasis on the “more”
May 20, 2011 by
What you get? A random selection of near ethnic foods as well as one selection of cheesesteak. To be sure, it is not a shabby selection. Even the cheesesteak is suitable. And here it is: It almost looks right, eh? And it almost is. The meat is chopped steak, the cheese is drizzled on, and […]
The Copper Onion: Upper Crust Yum
May 15, 2011 by
I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed The Copper Onion. Recommended to me last year, I’ve put it off. With the excuse of a “birthday dinner,” though, we reserved a table and showed up hungry. We were not disappointed. Before I get much further, let me tell you my main problem with ordering food: it […]
