This past weekend we took a family trip to one of our favorite drive-ins in Heber. They have burgers and milkshakes all enveloped in a theme of trains. In our family we just call it The Train. It’s official name is Dairy Keen. It is an institution in Heber and worth the stop. One of [...]
This past weekend my older kids and went to one of our favorite weekend get-aways in Southern Utah. We have developed some traditions that we tend to do every time we go down there and one of them is to stop to eat at the Hot Spot Drive-In in Salina, UT. On this visit my [...]
Tack another margherita onto my list of those sampled across the country. In Philadelphia a few weeks ago on business. Looking for something close to our hotel, found this one on Yelp. Since it was only a couple blocks away and the other choice was Maggiano’s (sorry chains will always lose out to independents [...]
Nothing quite beats the smell of a Danish pastry straight out of the oven. This is an order for a friend who is going to take them to a reunion of former Danish missionaries. A little intimidating…I hope they measure up.
Earlier this year I started making somewhat regular trips to Atlanta. On one of those early trips as well as a later trip I ate pizza at Atico Pizza Napoletana.

Several years ago my one and and only sister married someone from Roosevelt, UT and now calls it home. A year ago we went out for a visit to celebrate her and her husband’s birthdays since they are both in March. We got a tour of the town and stopped for lunch at a local [...]
Several weeks ago now I met my brother and Dad in Provo for lunch at a new pizza place that recently opened. The menu is pretty straightforward. You either get a full 20″ pie or a slab which is 1/4 of a 20″ pie. For toppings, plain cheese or pepperoni are the basic choices. There [...]
Somewhere in the depths of this blog is an entry about a new (at the time) pizza place I had read about and wanted to try. I wrote added that entry back in September of 2006. Believe it or not I finally made it to this place. I guess there is something to be said [...]
I work up in American Fork, which was the first city in Utah County to get not only an El Pollo Loco, but also a Rubio’s. There must be something about mexican chains and American Fork being the first place to test the waters around here. And the waters must be good for Rubio’s as [...]
