Les Madeleines was such an unexpected treat. It’s a cozy French-style spot known for made-from-scratch pastries & desserts plus a full breakfast & lunch menu. It’s downtown and it’s wonderful. I was introduced to the Kouign-amann which is a round crusty cake, made with bread dough containing layers of butter and sugar folded in. But what it really […]

Tucked in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Salt Lake, The Avenues, is Cucina Deli. It’s a counter service joint serving up fresh sandwiches, salads and entrees and it is just delicious and healthy. Is a go to place for me whenever I am in town. Perfect for a quick, healthy and relaxing meal. The […]

I don’t go out for breakfast much but when I do it better be good. Pig & A Jelly Jar in Salt Lake City is good. It is open for lunch and dinner too (Thus-Sun) but I can’t comment on that. But I loved my breakfast. Creole Pork Belly Benedict. Braised and shredded local pork belly, […]

Oh yes. I am a sucker for a good burger. I am! And the bigger the dive, the better. Salt Lake City has a few. I have been a long time fan of Lucky 13. And the Cotton Bottom Inn has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint. Total hole in the […]

Tucked away in downtown Provo, Utah is one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in the country, Communal. This is a wonderful farm-to-table joint. It’s a small, cozy, casual place with a great atmosphere and excellent service. Their beer and wine list is exceptional but it is the food that steals the show. Everything is fresh […]

I love a good burger and even better when it is in a funky old joint. In the mountains outside of Salt Lake City in the tiny town of Kamas is Hi Mountain. It’s a general store with a food counter and some kick butt burgers. That’s really all you need to know and that […]

I love finding great food in unexpected places and Saratoga Springs, Utah (near Salt Lake) is one such place. It is home to Sean’s Smokehouse BBQ. It’s Texas Style BBQ and it is outstanding! I mean serious good. I had the Smoked Turkey Sandwich and I promise you I will be getting it again. So […]

The Tin Roof Grill is in Sandy, Utah. A suburb of Salt Lake. It’s on a busy street and easy to go by and not notice, but I would recommend you turn around and have a tasty meal. Everything is fresh and yummy but the must get is the Quick Fried Croquettes, served with spicy tomato […]

If you like Vietnamese food and you are in Salt Lake City, hit up Oh Mai. There are two locations and their Pho and Bahn Mi sandwiches are real deal. My son turned me onto this place when he was living their because he is a Pho junkie. Pictured is the Spicy Beef Short Rib Bahn […]

Never ever underestimate the importance of a delicious gut bomb. Sure you feel like crap afterwards but it’s oh so good going down and sometimes you just have to have it! When in the greater Salt Lake City area hit up Bruges Waffle and Fries. There are 4 in the area. I went to the […]
