Del Mar Al Lago

Posted by Hyrum Romrell on Nov 30, 2013

Del Mar al Lago might be on the top of the “best places you have never been” list, but it won’t be there long. Word is definitely getting out on this Peruvian Seafood joint, just across the street from RC Willeys in South Salt Lake. This review has a couple...

West Valley Billiards

Posted by Hyrum Romrell on Nov 26, 2013

So this next place is a bit of a dive, it’s the West Valley Billiards pool hall in West Valley City! I first heard about this place years ago on the radio. One of the local stations was having a show based on what the listeners thought the best burger in Salt Lake was. One...

Ab’s Drive-in

Posted by Hyrum Romrell on Nov 19, 2013

Since I focus so much on local places and steer away from national chains, I unintentionally have left out some local drive thru joints that I really love. I’ve been going to Ab’s Drive-In for over 15 years and really love it. There is absolutely no reason to visit...

Faustina

Posted by Hyrum Romrell on Nov 17, 2013

This was my second visit to Faustina, just East of City Center. I’ve taken clients here, and tonight I wanted to treat my mom to somewhere nice. Faustina is more of an upscale restaurant featuring a variety of pasta, steak, and seafood dishes. They do fantastically well with...

Butterfly

Posted by Hyrum Romrell on Nov 12, 2013

San Francisco has so many food options to choose from. I almost burnt out my battery from my phone on Urbanspoon and Yelp looking for somewhere to go to lunch at. I love going down by the Bay, so while I was walking down the Embarcadero I passed by this place just past the Alcatraz...

Cafe Niche

Posted by Hyrum Romrell on Nov 2, 2013

It was a beautiful Autumn day, and it was an even better day to visit Cafe Niche. This was my first visit there and I WILL be back. Niche was amazing. Its tucked away in the neighborhood of Salt Lake City leading up to the U of U. The area has a lot of good places to eat and...

The Annex by Epic Brewery

Posted by Hyrum Romrell on Oct 28, 2013

Yet another review coming your way from the old Granite Furniture district in Sugarhouse. The old building gave way, but spawned forth tons of new eating establishments. One of the newest ones opened their doors recently, The Annex by Epic Brewery. I’m about as far as an expert...

El Menos

Posted by Hyrum Romrell on Oct 20, 2013

El Menos is a Mexican restaurant that pretty much everything about it, screamed Mexican restaurant, and that is not a bad thing. First of all walking into the place, there was a little stand outside the restaurant that sold mango and chili, and Elotes. The elote is a corn on the cob on...

Nonna’s Pizzeria

Posted by Hyrum Romrell on Oct 10, 2013

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that most of the places that I review here, someone, somewhere has driven by or tried before. I don’t know if many of you have been to this next place, which is why I’m going to really enjoy telling you about it. I’ll have...
