Salt Lake MUST EATS

[smokymountainrain]

Current is cool if seafood is your gig.

thanks, I may try it tonight.

meh.

Comparing the culinary talent of Chicago and Paris to SLC?! Ha.

You're from LA right? Stop talking like a Utah Valley homer.

If you want to impress a client and have a long time to chat and work on your deal, forage is a good alternative. I also like Frida Bistro but not sure if that is an impressive place. Food is good though.

I thought about Forage. Looks like they're booked. Frida Bistro looks good. Maybe I can take you to lunch there this week to try it out.

Utah "valley" is terrible. Maybe 5 or 6 good places to eat.

SLC is much better (although still meager compared to big cities). Current is good. I didnt know you had any food bona fides. The only thing I recall was your making ice cream in your kitchen once.

Make sure you ask for a table with a view of the Seine.

Can we just stipulate that the Utah food scene sucks and get back to discussing specific items on the list? TIA.

(bump)

Good grief.

I like Frida Bistro. Two great appetizers: the blue corn calamari and the ceviche.

I'm going to go ahead and put a plug in for the burger at Red Rock. It is actually really damn tasty and I like the flat bread pocket that they use for the bun. It goes great with an Elephino and if you go soon it can also go great with a Furlung.

Bruge in Provo also has a half Belgian hot chocolate/half coffee with creme fraiche that is really good. Basically, the best mocha that I've ever had. I'm not sure if the SLC locations have it or not. It went quite well with the machine gun sandwich.

High West Distillery is a treasure that the majority of this state is missing out on.

I managed to get my hands on some of their Campfire Whiskey for a ridiculously low price. $25.00 less than I could get it at the distillery even. A bourbon, rye, and scotch blend that is fantastic. SeattleUte is right, Utah should be proud of this place.

Love ceviche. Whether it is called ceviche or kilawin or oka or gravlax.

Winco now carries shoyu ahi poke. They fly it in frozen, then defrost it in the seafood case. They have mild (which is surprisingly spicy) and spicy. They said they cannot keep it in stock. Yes, it is pre-frozen, but then so is all the other poke you buy in Vegas or in Utah. And $7.98/lb.

I've been a few times to the Laid Back Poke Shack in the Milcreek/Holliday area. Went today, in fact.

It's awesome. The lady said they fly their fish in fresh every day, not open on Monday or Sunday.

They let you sample all the types they have that day. If you like that kind of stuff, you should hit it up.
