I stand behind those folks and play passive aggressive. Talking loudly about how it's a 4 chair and how its common to pair up and make 4 to keep lines moving. Works most times.Quote:

When there are not lines and they are not calling front row then you will get plenty of two's and three's.
A side note, late last week when it was busy there was a guy who on two occasions skied up in the ski school lane and found a <4 group at the front and asked to join them. Called him out, real bad etiquette when there is a double singles line with 40 people in it he jumped ahead of.
Staying in Midvale next weekend and looking up spots not too far from the hotel for eats. Obvious couple choices are Bohemian, Hoppers, Red Rocks. Any thoughts on Prohibition as something different than typical beer and burger fare? I'm rolling solo so a burlesque show to entertain me doesn't seem terrible.
Divas Cabaret Gentleman's Club has decent burgers. Has a pool table which is pretty unique for a club like this, it's like a locals bar that randomly has a strippers pole in it. Girls are hit and miss but who cares. Haven't been there in a long time, I used to live near it when I was single. Used to be a decent street taco cart on the same block.Quote:

^ some of Bohemians low point stuff is pretty good, same with Red Rock, if you don’t mind slightly lower alcohol (Utah measures alcohol by weight, 3.2% ABW == 4.0% ABV the way much of the rest of the country measures)
I am personally not a fan of Hoppers whatsoever, but some people dig it.
Pho 33 for pho. Also Saigon Sandwich (technically outside of Midvale but close)
There's an absolutely kick ass taco cart behind the 3 Alarm saloon.
India House
Chabaar is good Thai. Unless you are into super hot food, get spice level 1. I got 2 once and couldn't finish my dish, and I generally like things pretty spicy. Their scale goes to 10 and above 3 they make you sign a waiver :eek:
I've gone 3.5. Not sure I have any more in me.
Pho 33 is bomb.Quote:

A couple more, these are within walking distance of hotel...
The Union?
The Point After?
Can't speak to the point after but the Union has decent bar food/sandwiches and reasonable beer prices. You'll be in my hood, if I'm free I'd meet up for a beer.Quote:

You sold me. I’m gonna have to hit up Chabaar today.Quote:

If you want something outside of Pho/Bahn Mi/Bun go to Saigon on a Friday or Saturday. They run specials on those days that are on the more adventurous side of things. The Mi Quang is one of my favorite things ever. They rotate through a few different ones weekly, check their FB page for what's up that week.Quote:

I'm 78th south and State. Let's grab a beer sometime (gone the rest of the month in japow though)Quote:

Ain't that within walking distance of your place? A bit of bias? Cool spot though.Quote:

according to my buddy who is a die hard wing addict, the wings at molly greens at brighton are “in his top 5 wings of all time” (and I thought they were dope too)Quote:

Goddammit. I wish we had known - I remember driving by that joint about a week ago on teh way home fro SLC.Quote:

I like wing coop even more than trolley. They have pretty great classic style wings that are heavy on the sauce. The top 3 hottest sauces are legit hot. They also have killer deals on family style meals.Quote:

If fried chicken is your thing you have to hit up curry fried chicken, make sure you grab the samosas too.
Otherwise it’s just the usual chains.

Holy shit. Those pictures are unreal. Can't believe anyone survived that.
Chile karma I suppose.
It makes me happy to read this about Cafe Eva. The chef/owner is a friend, a legit skier, and a good person.Quote:

Interview on the news last night with the Jilbertos owners was tough to watch. That place was their whole life and they're clearly devastated. There's a GoFundMe setup if you want to help them out: https://www.gofundme.com/los-jilbertos-fundraiser
NO!!!! I freaking love that place, my weekly trips through there to see my girlfriend (now my wife) were not complete without a stop in the way through! That sucks. Thanks for the link, money contributed.Quote:

Sicilia Mia in Cottonwood Heights on Bengal Blvd is excellent. Went in for the first time tonight. Walking distance from my house. Totally shocked that the place is run and staffed by actual Italians, last thing I was expecting. Food and service were absolutely excellent. Highly recommended. I rarely pay for Italian food as its easy to cook good stuff. But I'm more than happy to pay for what they're serving. Really hope they do well. That locale has been through so many different restaurants. Great food, huge portions, service was excellent. Chef came out and talked to every table. Can't recommend highly enough.

Good to know. Have driven by it a few times and always wondered. It’s pretty small no?Quote:
