Have you ever had real Mexican food? I don’t mean taqueria style, like Betos or Gualbertos, nor do I mean any of the popular Americanized chains like Chevy’s, and I definitely don’t mean Taco Bell, The Taco Maker, Del Taco, or any other similar abomination. I mean real home-style Mexican food.
There are [...]

Settebello
July 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Settebello, named for the most sought after card in the popular Italian card game Scopa, is a wonderful new restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City. Now, although Settebello is a pizzeria, it is most definitely not “just another pizzeria”. Settebello is different. They are a certified member of Vera Pizza Napoletana, [...]

Phở Green Papaya
July 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment
A recent find (introduced to me by Joe), Phở Green Papaya has become my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant. The ingredients are fresh, the atmosphere is classy, and the service is impeccable. There is an incredible variety of selections on their six page menu. Although I have by no means tried them all, [...]

Four Seasons Hotpot and Dumplings
July 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments
While dining at a delicious, but unnamed here, Chinese restaurant, Jason approached the waitress to find out if there was anywhere in the county to get Dim Sum. She said no. There is not. A minute later, she returned and motioned us closer so she could tell us of Four Seasons Hotpot and Dumplings in [...]

Ok, I admit it. I’m a barbecue addict. What can I say? I grew up in the south. So barbecue, for me, is nearly a religion. I must admit though, that until fairly recently, it was very difficult to get good barbecue in Utah. Joe Morley’s, in Midvale (post [...]

Saigon Cafe
June 10th, 2008 · No Comments
Nestled in the seedy underbelly of Provo, Saigon Cafe is a restaurant worth avoiding. The name, and its listing in the phone book under “Vietnamese Cuisine” lead us to believe that this was a Vietnamese restaurant. Not so. This is a very dirty and greasy Chinese restaurant that happens to serve a [...]
