Lone Star Taqueria



Pat's BBQ



Red Iguana



The Red Iguana also has a new fast food version at the new City Creek food court. Its right by my work and I LOVE to go there for lunch and get there beef taco mini meal. I also love to go for a little mid-day snack the sopapillas are ooh la la! and you get 8 for $1.75. I don't eat them all of course :). Oh and before I forget the Killer Nacho's are killer amazing!!

Blue Plate Diner



Well I hope this makes up for the lack of attention to my blog! I know I am excited to go to these place and report back on the ones that didn't have a video clip, I'm also excited to go back to the places I have been and try something new!

Let me know what you think about these places.

The Melting Pot

This is one classy place. If you are willing to spend some money on some good quality food, then this is the place for you. Your not only paying for excellent food, but the whole experience. Every table has a hot plate, they mix all the ingredients right in front of you, so its really fresh. For an appetizer start out with a cheesy sauce with veggies and bread to dip it in. Next enjoy a hot broth to cook your delectable pieces of meat. And last but not least the dessert! Fruit, cheesecake, marshmallows, pound cake, all dipped into amazing chocolate.

If you want to try but dont want to spend to much go for just the dessert. It will be a experience to remember.

The Book Exchange

I wondered into this book store located on 1100 East and just off of 2100 South a week ago. I was so glad I went inside. It doesn't look like much but I fell in love! They have an awesome selection of books and they are reasonably priced. Also the service was awesome! Its one of those places were they know their customers by name. I found a book I have been wanting to re-read for a long time, Loves Music, Loves to Dance by Mary Higgins Clark.

It reminded me a lot of The Shop Around the Corner in You've Got Mail. Except it doesn't just have children's books.

It is definitely a place I want to visit again and again.

9th And 9th

One of the hidden treasures of Salt Lake City. This little nugget is something sweet to stumble upon. It has everything from a yoga studios, to designer boutiques. There are some yummy cafes and restaurants as well. My sister and I went there this weekend and had so much fun just looking at all the fun places.



First we went to Apt.202, which can only be described as chic fashion! I loved everything inside and wish I could afford it.



Our next favorite place was Children's Hour. Don't let the name fool you, it has designer women's and children's clothing and more. I think we each said, "That's SO cute!" about fifty times.

That took a bit of energy so we skipped across the street to Great Harvest, YUM!! And enjoyed a free slice of bread, and then bought some for the road.



We could have been there for hours and only got to see a bit of it but that just leaves more to discover next time.

Scaddy's

So I didn't get a chance to go anywhere fun this week. So I decided this would be a good chance to introduce you to one of my favorite places. I know its great so I dont have to "try it out" to tell you about it. This does mean I dont have any pictures to show you, but I did find the logo on line (thanks google).
Scaddy's Fresh Grill is locally owned and operated. The owner is great and is usually there to greet you. The atmosphere is a simple home town hamburger joint with a few tv's here and there, so we have even gone to watch a few jazz games. But what really makes this place great is the food! They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We have only gone for dinner but there breakfast looks amazing. They're breakfast specialty is Swedish pancakes. There hamburger's are simply delicious!! I love any of the burgers that have the Scaddy sauce,ya that's right, Scaddy sauce! Its like fry sauce with a little something special. Bruce loves the Wayne burger and the fries are YUM!
Basically you are going to have to try it yourself!


1846 South 300 West Salt Lake City, Utah

Omar's Living Cuisine

My sister in law Audrey pointed me out to this great find. It is perfect for my new diet. I can eat EVERYTHING there, even the dessert! YUM YUM. Its a raw food restaurant meaning all the food is unprocessed and uncooked plant foods. We started out with a chocolate guji drink which I thought was better then some milk chocolate shakes. Then I enjoyed a Nut Burger made with finely chopped nuts and other yummy spices covered with fresh ketchup, avocados, tomatoes, unions, and sprouts, with a cabbage leaf bun. It was really good! And Bruce enjoyed a Hummus Pizza, the crust more like a tostada but made with nuts and flax, it was topped with hummus lettuce tomatoes, avocados, more veggies, and then a special faux cheese made from nut cream that goes through this long process to taste like cheese. It was very tasty! Then we enjoyed a Pina Colada Pie. I don't know what was in it, but it was amazing. I have also had the chocolate moo dessert which is like a chocolate mouse that doesn't have any added sugar or dairy. Its great to find something so creamy without the cream.
