The Dodo, Salt Lake City

[YOhio]

I don't know, but it seems like you at least don't want a name that connotes death and extinction.

A place could do worse.

[Mrs. Funk]

I craved pie all through my pregnancy, so we definitely made some trips to The Dodo. I've only had their brie plate besides their desserts, but it's worth a visit for the dessert alone for certain.

[Commando]

i had some sort of cookie dessert. That was good.. I also remember I had an avocado turkey sandwich of some sort that was forgettable. I'd eat there again, though.

The Dodo has bounced around over the years. It was in Sugarhouse for years...then it moved down to the Gateway for a few years (right across from the Trax construction which put a stranglehold on its business and basically, the Dodo ran away screaming from the hit on its business) and moved up to its current location next door to the Blue Boutique (that is one sexy store!).

I like the Dodo. It is not beautiful food by any stretch, but it is nice and tasty. Its turkey sandwich is fabulous. Its Cobb salad is full of tasty treats. The appetizer Artichoke Pie is definitely worth having before the meal. The Cajun Chicken Alfredo is not bad either. Your mind will not be blown away by the food, but your stomach will have to say that it was a solid tasty meal.

Umm, if it was forgettable how did you remember that you had it?

SHOWDOWN

Um, no showdown. Its pretty obvious that I am right. UteStar is always right. In fairness to Commando, I think he was probably just confused as to what he ate.

[My fair lady]

I think it is to connote rarity and uniqueness? I dunno.

My guess: it's an inside joke by the owner.

The unique design of the Dodo is a combination of contemporary and industrial, with a funky flare. A mural that existed at the original restaurant has been lovingly recreated by the same artist. It depicts dodo birds socializing over drinks and listening to an all dodo jazz trio, having a fabulous evening out.

It really is a very pleasant place.

This is funny. In Vietnamese the first word is actually pronounced like the F-word and the second, seemingly offensive word, sounds like foop.

No confusion. The bread was dry, and the sandwich was therefore not memorable. In fact, one may say it was indeed forgettable.
