    Good to know. Now I'm hungry. Any recommendations? I've been told to get the Trailer Park but to make it extra trashy. I'd also like to try the Democrat, but it's vegetarian so I'm skeptical.

      I continue to enjoy an infrequent indulgence of the two-for-a-buck tacos at Jack's, but I'm sure they're absolutely horrible for me. On the other hand, I try to emulate Warren Buffet in my investing, why not eating? I like his admission that “I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among six-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a six-year-old.” Still, fast food and five Cokes everyday seems a bit excessive.

        When I am in Utah County, my guilty pleasure is Italian Place steak and everything sandwich.
        One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

          Wrong thread, dude. FTR, I love that sandwich.

            Democrat, Republican, Independent, Dirty Sanchez... They are all good. I like everything I have tried. (not that way, sickos - speaking of the tacos)

              I liked it too. The LC version was much better than the PH version.

                I'm in Utah only every couple of years, but I make it a point to go there. How can you beat a Steak & Everything?

                Can you imagine how good the Tacos would be if The Italian Place made them?

                  I went fried avocado and green chile pork. Both were very good. The chips and queso was the best part of the meal. MJ had the democrat and loved it.

                  Biggest problem was the drinks. I have no idea what is what since its some weird local brand thing. Ended up with something like a dr pepper.

                    Where is this? During the '70s, there was one in a ramshackle building close to campus, across the street from Kinko's and around the corner from El Azteca, and one on University. I assumed they were gone. I consumed many a steak and everything back then.

                      I had the Democrat in January at the original Austin location. Thought it was great, but it had a big piece of sausage on it.

                        They moved 25 years ago. I remember the old place too.

                        El Azteca is gone too. I remember going there with my parents in about 1965. Then I used to take girls there while at BYU, in the last 70's and early 80's, and I took my Dad out to dinner there in 2002. And I went to take my wife there in 2012, and it was gone.

                          There is still one in Orem I believe. I often go to one in Spanish Fork.

                            The Italian Place was gone for many years and then they came back. I know the owner. Cool dude.

                              I don't care about revisiting El Azteca, but an Italian Place pit stop is definitely on the list for our next trip to the UC.
