  • Pizza Pipeline opened up across from Helaman Halls when I was a freshman. I remember it being cheap and good. Then after the mish, not quite as good.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

          So many late night homework sessions fueled by Pizza Pipeline carryout. Seemed like the carryout deals always came with two sodas in their PP cups.

              The missionaries around here all love raising cane's chicken. One local franchise is own by a member (or maybe someone that just likes mormons) and he gives them free drinks when they stop in. I would rather go Cowboy Chicken but I haven't really seen them outside of DFW.

                  Started in Baton Rouge. My buddy knows the owners. Growing like crazy. Really simple menu and decent quality chicken.

                    Is Cowboy Chicken the place by the Condoms to Go store?

                      Yes, very conveniently located. Of course, there is a canes about a block from that location as well.

                      • When I was in high school Utah Carls Jr. places were called Hardees. Karl Malone advertised for them, you may recall. I used to love the Hardees "Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger" or "UBC" as we called it.

                        the burger was served on a hoagie-style bun and I swear it had to be at least 1800 calories alone, but we always ate it with fries and a shake just in case we needed to expend 3500 later that evening.

                          Hardees and Carl's Jr. were different when you were in high school. But there weren't any CJs in northern Utah. CJ's bought Hardees in 1997. Now you know.

                          Also, I remember CJ's being a dine-in restaurant a-la Denny's back in the mid 80s in Mesa, AZ.

                              There was a CJs off Ft. Union by Alberstons that opened when I was still in HS, 95 or 96. You are absolutely correct that it was not the same as Hardees though as there was one of those a few blocks away. I remember when Mailman was their pitchman in Utah they started selling fried chicken and had this peach cobbler that came with the meal that was actually pretty good.

                                That sounds like the right timeline. I think the one in St. G by the outlet stores opened in 1993 or 94. It had this big star plaque hanging on the wall that said it was the first CJs in Utah. wally seems old, so i'm guessing he graduated pre 1994.
