Sorry about the posting gap: I had intended to space the last couple of posts out better. Still, here are some blurbs about recent dining experiences, if you're interested.
Wild Grape Bistro – Some work friends and I went here for lunch a couple of weeks ago. It's a medium-priced bistro not far from downtown in the Avenues area serving new American food - sort of medium-priced in a not too charismatic space, but with pretty good food. They're known for their grape salad. I had a fabulous watermelon gazpacho. The wine menu is pretty interesting, although not particularly cheap. (481 East South Temple)
Himalayan Kitchen – Nepalese/Indian restaurant at 360 South State Street. Some other work friends and I went for their Wednesday lunch buffet which included butter chicken, tandoori chicken, vegetable chowchow (stirfried noodles and veggies), aloo gobi (potato/cauliflower), saag paneer, vegetable curry, battered fried veggies, two kinds of rice, poori (fried puff breads), flatbread, several chutneys and hot relishes, rice pudding and mango pudding. Very yummy and I’d like to go back for dinner to order off the menu.
Davanza's - just went there tonight on the recommendation of the random girl who cut H's hair yesterday. $14.00 Full Suspension pitchers - or $10.00 for PBR pitchers (you know, I'll drink it out of a can because it goes down quickly and you don't have to see how pale it is, but there's no way I'm ever ordering a pitcher of PBR). I had two $2 carnitas (pork) tacos with pico de gallo and a squeeze of fresh lime - super tasty and just enough - and H had the $7.75 chile verde taco which was really quite good. Seems like a pretty local place (it's close to an apartment complex that H and I looked at and decided against) -definitely good for cheap and tasty eats and good Utah beer.
