Wish I had known this last week. Hard to find a good meal in that town. Should have tried the szechuan place that someone recommended. Ended up preparing most of our own meals anyway, since we know we cook better and a LOT healthier than most restaurants.Quote:

They were incredible
I know I have that option to go to whole foods but I would like to know where the locals go for their better steaks
Btw thanks
Snyder brothers with a Y, Beltex Meats, or Harmons. I've cooked steaks for a few guys nights and they have always come from Harmons and been really nice.
And as always, cast iron+broil beats grill IMO.
To go along with the bump, some new places to check out:
Trestle Tavern
Spitz (fantastic)
Este Deli
Mom's Kitchen
much obliged :DQuote:

Finn's Cafe for brunch. Market Street Grill/Oyster bar also has a legit brunch
The Pie for good ol' fashioned greasy pizza and beer
X1 million for Red Iguana. Blue Iguana is good, too, but it's NOT the same place.
Squatters downtown has good beer and food
Grew up ~1 mile from Royal India in Sandy and I'm spoiled for Indian food forever now
Kyoto is pretty good for sushi (at least it was 6 years ago when I ate there last). Yellowfin in Sugarhouse isn't as good, but has a better atmosphere IMO
If you're in the burbs, Village Baker is a favorite for a quick lunch
And to think that's a post he chose not to delete.Quote:

Bombay House is even better and we eat Royal India a lot.Quote:

Pho Thin (Sugarhouse) - bomb pho / Vietnamese, inexpensive, not bad atmosphere either.
HSL (Downtown) - spendy but super good
Proper Brewing/Burger (S Downtown) - cheap food, solid beers, cheap ski ball.
Random older but possibly less widely enjoyed (?) stuff I like:
Stoneground (Downtown) - good, inexpensive Italian in a nice atmosphere
Skewered (Downtown) - bomb Thai food, cheap ass lunch specials. I saw one of the Dorais bros picking up food here so it gets the elite hardman patronage as well.
Niche (Downtown) - low key classy, medium spendy, food is always great.
Dick & Dixies (Downtown) - one of the only bars that feels like an actual bar to me, being from the east. Cheap good beer (not just swill).
Classics everyone probably knows that I still think are very good:
Red Rock (Downtown) - good food + beer, their high point beer has improved a lot over the past 18 mos imo, and the food is always solid.
Desert Edge (Downtown) - same as above but only lowpoints. Cheap pitchers + food.
Takashi (Downtown) - hands down the best sushi in the mountain west, don't @ me.
Places that I think are overrated but everyone else likes:
Squatters (Downtown) - boo, hiss. These guys lobby to keep the draft beer capped at 4% ABV. Their beer and food sucks. Their vibe sucks. Fuck Squatters.
Bayou (S Downtown) - cool beer menu but otherwise zzz, food is meh and everything is 25% too expensive.
Beer Bar (Downtown) - ok I go here a lot but it's still overrated and beers are way overpriced.
Everything in the canyons except Molly Greens, which owns.
:fmicon:
Most improved:
Campfire (Sugarhouse) - when I lived near there it was sort of a dump, a lot nicer inside now. Very cheap food, chill patio when the weather is nice.

Is Harmons a Grocery store or a dedicated Butcher shop.Quote:

Higher-end grocery store. The one on 100S is pretty swanky, not sure about the others.Quote:

The Market on Main has Afghani food in the back of a convenience store, it's worth a try for downtown peeps. Between 200 and 300.
I hardly travel down to the valley to eat, but when I do, I go to one of the following:
1) Italian: Valter's $$$$
2) Sushi: Takashi $$$$
3) Greek: Aristo's $$
4) BBQ: Pat's BBQ $
5: Chinese: New Golden Dragon $
Also, when driving home from LCC, I go to Wing Coop $
Tried R&R BBQ yet? Best in the valley, IMO.Quote:
