Salt Lake City Thai

We went to Chanon Thai Cafe on a Thursday night around 6pm. The restaurant was about 50% full, by 6:30 it was packed. Despite this, our servers were attentive and helpful and our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. 

The lighting didn't allow for a good picture of our food, but we ordered:

Pad Him Ma Parn: A popular cashew nut stir fry with onion, pineapple, mushrooms, shitake mushrooms and bell pepper. $9.95

and

Yum Woon-sen: Thai glass noodles mixed with ground pork, prawns, squid, cashew nuts, green and red cabbage, carrot, green and red onions, lemongrass, fresh lime juice, sugar, spicy Thai chili and salt. $9.95  
(we sub. tofu and it was excellent)

There was so much food we had enough for lunch the next day. 

***One important note, we specified that we wanted medium/mild spiciness - both dishes were extremely mild, so if you like some kick to your dish, better let them know.

Check out this place the next time you are in Salt Lake City. You won't be disappointed.

WHAT? Veggie Burgers at Elements in Logan!?!

Yes, you heard me!!! Oscar, the sou chef at Elements Restaurant came and chatted with us a couple weeks ago while we were imbibing in some $1 beers on Thursday night...and we asked him to please make a veggie burger and put it on the menu...
if you make it, we will come...he made it and we loved it! It will be on the menu within the next 2 weeks!
For $12 you get salad, (the best) fries and this awesome burger. So, carnivores and vegetarians alike, get on down to Elements and try it out. I think you will love it. 

There's a new restaurant in town...

Kabuki Japanese Steakhouse Finally, a good restaurant in Logan!
This roll is only $13!

This post should be titled: "oh crap! I started eating and forgot to take a picture of the food!"

Heard about this place on Urbanspoon.com

It's well worth the trip. Seriously. Order 'the western' - it's one of their specialties. caramel, pecans, homemade custard, oh my!

What's a vegetarian in Vegas to do? climb. eat. repeat.

if you find yourself in the city that never sleeps soon...go to these restaurants. we tried them out for you. well worth the trip!!!


Ronalds Donuts

 quite an unassuming front, eh? 

 filled with apple filling...like a cannoli!

now I'm not really a donut lover, but this thing was amazing. apple fritter!!!

 orange glazed...

for those of us that want to feeeeeel like we aren't eating a lot, just order a bakers dozen of these....if they are small, the calories don't count, eh?

Good food in Hawaii-ya!

Ok. Those of you who know me, that is, those of you that have been stuck in a car with me while we are deciding where to eat, understand my obsession with hole-in-the-wall-good-food. Well on my recent trip to Hawaii, I scored. Big time. We found this restaurant that specialized in Portuguese donuts called Malasadas. So, next time you find yourself on the big island, stop by this place. I recommend the lemon filled donuts. I enjoyed every single bite and didn't think about the calories! (Ok, maybe I did, but I still enjoyed every damn bite!)
