  I feel pretty excited about some of the restaurants I’ve been able to check off my ever growing “need to visit” list.  From Scratch just South of the Gallivan Center was one of them. Getting there and parking was a breeze for a downtown restaurant, there is a parking garage just around the corner East of the restaurant, so you...

    Alamexo is the new Mexican kitchen on State St. and Gallivan Plaza that replaced ZY Restaurant a few years ago.  I really loved ZY and was sad to see it close.  When Alamexo opened, I read a few reviews on-line that said the food was expensive and just so-so.  I decided to wait a bit before giving it a try.  That wait finally came to an end last...

  There is nothing overtly flashy about Enjoy Chinese Cuisine in West Jordan.  The building wasn’t ornate or posh, in fact, Enjoy is located in a strip mall off of 7800 in suburbia West Jordan.  However, the title of the restaurant “Enjoy” might be the best word to describe it.  I “enjoyed” Enjoy during my lunch stop here a...

  The word Copper is quickly becoming the Pavlov’s dog to my appetite.  I just have to hear the word “copper” and I immediate get hungry.  Newly opened Copper Kitchen is the third member of the Copper Trinity in Salt Lake City joining Copper Onion and Copper Commons.  (For the record Copper Creek Pub and Grill is also fabulous but...

    Oak Wood Fire Kitchen is a new Draper restaurant in the strip mall area of 12300 South and 700 East.  Dining in Draper has been a head scratcher for me for quite a while.  That head scratcher problem is started to go away, and the answer for great eating in Draper is coming more and more into focus with Oak Wood Fire Kitchen. For starters...

    Even Stevens first caught my attention when reviewing an online article of Salt Lake City’s best reuben sandwiches.  3 of the top 5 I expected to see in 9th South Delicatessen, Siegfrieds, and Feldman’s Deli, but then I saw Even Stevens on the list, and I’ve never even heard of them!  When I checked out their website, I noticed...

  I really didn’t have a great reason to stop here, before heading back to the airport after my last layover in Orlando.  I was already pretty stuffed from a huge lunch at Pig Floyd’s earlier in the afternoon, and still coming out of my food coma after watching a movie downtown.  Mamak ASF came so highly recommended however, that I...

 Walking into a new bakery for the first time is one of my favorite moments in life.  When I hear about one being opened, it doesn’t matter where I am, I stop what I’m doing and pay attention.  Just like the dog Doug in the movie “Up” when he detects a squirrel, so do I react with the thought of brownies, cake, or cookies....
