I've had my fair share of Sushi in Utah. Granted, some sushi restaurants are better than others, but I've never really walked away from a sushi restaurant completely disappointed. Actually, now that I mention it, I've rarely walk away from any restaurant disappointed. My trip to Asuka, however, was... well... crappy. There was nobody waiting to greet or seat me upon arrival. My table was sticky. My glass was dirty. I was worried to say the least. I opted to go with the all you can eat sushi dinner for like $18.  The sushi (nearly every roll) was anything but satisfying. The rolls were bland, ......

Rooster is a fantastic location for a  date. The white walls contrasted with the dark wood floors, furniture and paneling  coupled with the always-awesome music create an intimate lunch or dinner. Personally, I've tried the pork, shrimp and beef dumplings as well as the Butter Corn Ramen and the Thai Basil Rice . The dumplings are all great, but I think I......

From the outside looking in, Grove Market and Deli looks like your typical mom and pop corner store. Well, unless it's lunch time that is... Once noon rolls around, anyone who's in the mood to chow down on a sandwich made from their childhood dreams lines up at Grove's. Why? Because Grove's doesn't think twice about stacking the meat high and using a full loaf (yes, a full loaf) of French bread to placate the fat kid within all of us. I recommend the turkey avocado with all the fixins. I describe it to newbies as "a good kick in the mouth," meaning if kicks in the mouth were good, you'd want o......

[caption id="attachment_80" align="alignright" width="238" caption="Photo Courtesy of Sam Wibatt"] [/caption] If I had to pick a favorite food, I'm quite sure it would be the sandwich. It's simple, yet diverse. It's traditional, versatile and absolutely delicious.  A sandwich can be made to accommodate any occasion or mood. Now, you may doubt what I'm about to say. You very well may laugh at this post and never come back again. Ever.  I'm willing to back up my claim though. I just had the best. Sandwich. Ever. No joke. If you're a sucker for a sandwich - and I'm talking a really good, mind b......

American Fork has a secret. It's called Flour Girls and Dough Boys (on 35 N. Barratt Ave. right next to the movie theater). You feel all special now that you're in on the secret, don't you? Well, I aim to please... keep reading, it just gets better. I promise. I've been to Flour Girls and Dough Boys twice now. Both times I got the Tomato Basil soup with something else. I don't quite remember what. Why, you ask? Well, let me tell you. I was raised on tomato soup. I had it very regularly as a child, often times accompanied with a tuna and cheese sandwich. Sometimes it was tomato and rice soup.........

Empanadas Pantrucas Chilean Restaurant has made it’s home on the east side of Provo at 3161 N. Canyon Road. Sure, the location isn’t the greatest, but the trip is worth it… I promise.

Many people associate food south of the Texas border with the traditional beans, rice, tortillas and spice of Mexico. Chilean food is incredibly distinct and has a much more Italian influence if anything.

Ricardo and Margarita (the owners of Pantrucas and native Chileans) run a tight ship, both cooking and serving the food themselves. The bread is hand-made and baked regularly, and all ingredients used are fresh and savory.

I ate a Completo Italiano (a hot dog with a fresh bun, diced tomatoes, avocado and mayo) with fries, and was incredibly pleased. Everything was authentic, fresh and hot out of the oven.

I plan to go back to partake in the Churrasco con Palta (get it with cheese), Pastel de Choclo and especially their all natural fruit juice (which comes in a huge pitcher and is currently buy one, get one free for only a few bucks).

So, if you’re looking for something new, local and very delicious, give Pantrucas a try. Tell them Nate sent you, and they’ll take great care of you.

Also… they cater!
