      During high school and college I learned when eating large amounts of Pie pizza (usually the Stromboli, myself and 3 friends could polish off a 23 incher) it was wise to go to bed with a large glass of ice water nearby. Invariably I would sit straight up in bed at about 3 in the morning dying of thirst. All that grease left me dehydrated and no amount of water that evening could keep me from waking up in desperate need of liquid in the middle of the night.

        The seafood at Pierpont was fantastic (as with any Gastronomy establishment). If you went there to get burritos and tacos you were missing the point.

          I'm with you on this one too. I worked at the Dodo for a summer, great food!

Not that there is anything wrong with that, and California-style definitely has a place in my culinary world. But it's a time-honored tradition in NYC to grab a few napkins to sop up the extra grease from the cheese/pepperoni when you get your slice (also, folding said slice in half to eat).
            Speaking of which, The Pie has a new Thai pizza with a peanut-curry sauce. Last year they unveiled a Greek Gyro pizza and a Buffalo Chicken pizza, and both were big hits.

                Well, I'll vouch for the desserts. I'm not terribly excited about the food, but the desserts are very good.

                Especially...and I recommend everyone try this at least once...the banana cream cheese cake.

                Unbelievable.

                I'm not a big fan of banana cream pies, but this thing...this thing is magnificent.

                • If you are north of Salt Lake and want some REALLY good Indian food, try Taste of India in Layton.

                  I know. Whoddathunk you could get good Indian food in Davis County.

                  Also, I have a thing for the garbanzos and chicken curry at Curry in a Hurry. It's not fancy. It's not even the best. It's just a thing. Especially the garbanzos. The spices they use are fantastic.

                  How about Nielsen's frozen custard? When I'd come back to Utah, it seemed like that was a favorite of mine, too.

                  Okay, another suggestion for dining in Northern Utah. There is a place in Eden, UT, called Harley and Buck's. Believe it or not, they have FANTASTIC ribs.

                  Also, I highly suggest the bread pudding (yeah, gross, I know, right? WRONG!) at Union Grill in Ogden. (I know...Ogden, right? WRONG!)

                  For burgers, though, I still have a soft spot in my heart for a Utah original, Hires.

                  • Oh, hey. Here is another suggestion. It's not a chain. It's a single location. Sego Lily restaurant on main street in Bountiful.

                    Haven't been for a while, but we used to frequent the place. I don't know why we got out of the habit. It reminds me that we need to go.

                    It's a nice little local place to get some grub. I like their stuff.

                      Speaking of Sugarhouse...How about the Soup Kitchen? Awesome lunch-break food. I used to work at Utrecht Art Supplies around the corner.

                      (For those of you counting at home...so far in my short 2 months on this forum...i have disclosed 4 prior locations of employment.)


                      AND WHAT ABOUT TASTY'S! Love those donuts...and their crab-salad sandwiches. Too bad they closed shop in both South Jordan and Sugarhouse...I think they retreated back to Ogden...

                      • And another fun Utah type place. Drive way up Weber Canyon to Taggart's. It's got great little desserts, too. During the summer or when there is a bit warmer weather, it's a fun little drive into the Wasatch mountains and they have some good food.

                          Layton/Kaysville, to be exact. I grew up with door to door Tasty's donut sales kids.

                          I got through high school on Tasty's club sandwiches and double blueberry donuts. Thank goodness I played soccer year round.

                                Wait, Tasty's is still around? I only knew the Sugarhouse location. Good to know they're still in existence.

                                Anybody like Salvadoran food? We just found a great place tonight called Cafe Guanaco. They had some excellent pupusas.
                                Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

                                None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

                                I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.
