I am WAAAYYY behind in my blogging so this week I’m having my friend and dependable eating buddy, Lynn, guest-blog about her food experiences during a recent trip to Europe.
And now Lynn in the role of Rick Steves…
I took a 10-day trip in March 2009, hitting several cities in England and then Copenhagen, Denmark. [...]

That’s a spicy meatball

The food highlight of our trip to Utah was a visit to Tony Caputo’s Market and Deli. With its artisan cheeses, in-house salami maker(!) and premium chocolates, Caputo’s feels like it should be in major metropolis like New York or Chicago. This is definitely a place I never expected to find in Salt Lake City. [...]

Another Salt Lake City that kept popping up on “best-of” lists was Settebello.
Settebello serves authentic Neapolitan-style pizza as established by the guidelines of the Verace Pizza Napoletana Association founded in Naples, Italy. In 2007 Settebello was certified by the President of the US Chapter of the VPN, Peppe Miele, as only the 16th member in [...]
Two great tastes that DON’T taste great together
Posted in Reviews, Savory, So wrong, Travel, tagged Crown Burger, pastrami, Salt Lake City, Utah on August 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
When I read about a cheeseburger topped with pastrami, I knew I had to visit a Crown Burgers location in Salt Lake City. I love both cheeseburgers and pastrami and was eager to try the two together.
Well, the title of this post probably gave it away, but alas, Crown Burgers’s signature sandwich didn’t live up [...]

Whoa, those last two posts about Filipino food and rural America were heavy! The next several entries will be my visit to Salt Lake City, the food scene there and will be angst free.
I’m one of those people who likes to do a lot of research before traveling somewhere. And much of that research involves [...]

This time last year, my husband and I were relaxing on the Hawaiian island of Maui, savoring fresh seafood, tropical fruit and the magical menu at Da Kitchen.
For our 2008 summer vacation, we decided to drive from Seattle to visit our friends Sarah and Damon in Salt Lake City. You may be wondering what [...]
