Red Rock Brewing Company

Mar 10, 2013

This is my 3rd of 4th trip to Red Rock, and if my memory serves me well, have enjoyed it each time, but it wasn’t until this visit to the new location at Fashion Place Mall that I ordered the perfect items.  Now I’m hooked on this place.  I like the new Fashion Place Mall re-design that has happened over the last year or so.  They have added new...

It’s with great pleasure I write my first South Eastern Idaho review!  I am from Idaho Falls originally, and to this day is one of my favorite places in the world.  A lot has changed since I was a little kid.  I’m not quite as familiar with the food scene as a lot of my relatives that live there still.  I do however, have a few spots to share...

Firehouse Subs

Firehouse Subs

When I think back to the time I was a kid, there wasn’t really a sub sandwich option where I grew up.  You had Burger King, Wendy’s, McDonalds, Arby’s, and Kentucky Fried Chicken.  Then I remember when Subway started to really hit the scene.  Everyone loved how it was a “healthier” option to french fries and burgers.  And who...

Holy Guacamole!  That’s the first thing that comes to mind when writing this post, because this place literally has some of the best guacamole that I’ve ever tasted.  And they don’t just have one type of guacamole, they have five different varieties as well as a “flavor of the day” that they make from scratch.  Oh yeah, this is...

I’m pretty excited to be back in Sugarhouse reviewing the new Flatbread Neapolitan Pizzeria that just opened there recently.  This is now the second member of the VPN here in Utah that I am aware of, joining downtown SLC’s Settebello.  The VPN stands for the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, which is basically a code of how to make pizzas the...

In honor of baseball season starting soon, I wanted to throw out a few choices for sports bars in the Salt Lake Area.  There are quite a few places that are bars who happen to have some T.V’s set up, and then there are others that are have a distinctive “sporty” feel to them.  Some of my favorites are Copper Creek in West Valley and...

  Scored myself a heck of a Groupon deal last Saturday when I took my family down to the Museum of Natural History, and then to lunch at Harvest Restaurant.  For $35 we got entrance to the museum, and then a $50 dollar gift card to the restaurant. When our hostess showed us to the table, my kids were impressed with how fancy everything was.  Check out...

KSL A-List has a Fry Sauce tournament going on right now, where they are pitting the best 16 fry sauces around in a winner take all competition.  You can vote on your favorite fry sauce by visiting this link .  While looking at the nominees, I noticed a name there that I did not recognize, and that was Guzzi’s Vintage Burgers and Fries.  I looked at...

Moe’s Southwest Grill

Moe’s Southwest Grill

A solid choice for St. Louis area quick service Mexican food.  I was traveling in the area about 6 months ago, and at meetings across the street at Monsanto Headquarters.  A couple of the ladies there said that they eat there all the time.  I can’t say I am surprised after sampling the wares. Moe’s has some awesome tasting chips, guacamole, and...

Red Basil Thai Bistro

Red Basil Thai Bistro

From Ogden down to Provo there are 81 Thai restaurants to choose from.  I feel fortunate to have found this place.  Located just East of Village Baker in Sandy, this place is a real find for those seeking not only great tasting Thai food, but also a great lunch time value.  I ordered the lunch special and paid just $7 dollars.  By the time I was done with...
