Salt Lake MUST EATS

[kccougar]

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 there stuff.

Last spring my wife and I went to an "Art and Soup" show downtown and the seafood chowder that I had from the people representing the Sego Lily Grill was just plain awesome. I waited until summer to try the restaurant in Bountiful and they didn't have the chowder on their summer menu, but I'm hoping it's there for the winter because it's one of the best I've tasted.

Hack!

Sorry. I apologize for stealing your material.

Still, it's a good rec.

I've only been to handful of places in NYC, but none of them had near the ridiculous amounts of cheese as the Pie.

It's not that people expect pizza to be healthy, it's that the amount of cheese on that pizza is just flat out disgusting.

I'll give you a few addresses.

Seriously, though, I didn't notice the amount of cheese when I went to the Pie (it was only once, though). And one would think I would have, given that I'm pretty lactose intolerant.

I think that's a stylistic thing based on proximity to California, where the pizza styles tend towards the gourmet. 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).

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.

Hack!

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.

Yes. The original Tasty's is still there on the border of Kaysville and Layton. Actually, it moved. As of 20 years ago, it was actually across the street. At some point, they moved across the street to a larger location.

The Sugarhouse location and all others were satellite locations.

Kaysville is the epicenter of the gastronomic genius that is Tasty's.

TRY ME, I'M TASTY!

Speaking of Sugarhouse...How about the Soup Kitchen? Awesome lunch-break food. I used to work at Utecht 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...

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.

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.

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.
