Salt Lake MUST EATS

[Commando]

Yes, 2 weeks ago I think? Tasty stuff. Although I hate when they serve diet coke in a can. That screams "we're not expecting to be here long-term."

In fairness, I think opening a Venny joint screams that. There was one in Mesa that I got around to twice before it mysteriously disappeared.

there is an awesome arepa bar in NYC that I try to hit up whenever I am in town for work. love arepas.

Where? I need to pretend to know what I am talking about when I am with my wife's friends.

Isn't the Venezuelan called an arepa?

Next time I would really recommend the water. Really good stuff.

Are you talking about Empanada Express? Because they just opened on Saturday.

No, I'm not talking about Empanadas. I'm talking about Arepas, man!

I'm not south american food guru, but I understand that just about every country has their own version (and probably name) for what is basically a hot pocket of seasoned meat. This place is calling them all empanadas for simplicity sake.

Yes. He is already using his family recipe for flank steak empanada as the Venezuelan and ground beef for the Jamaican so he used the chicken version of the Argentine variety.

The Argentine empanada is filled with chicken? Um, OK.

Empanada Express in Ft Union. My next-door neighbor just opened this place on Saturday. They are serving a variety of empanadas from Central and South America. Everyone go give them a try!

Any suggestions for a nice place to eat in SLC on relatively short notice? Mrs. D and I are celebrating our anniversary with a weekend trip to SF in early August. However, she happens to be picking me up from the airport in SLC this Friday (our actual anniversary), and I thought it would be nice if we could go out to dinner. Forage was the one place I tried, but my flight doesn't arrive until just before 9pm, and they don't take reservations that late (or at least they don't have anything open).

Pago is one of our new favorites. Finca is really good, too.
