Moochie’s Originally uploaded by ninetreats Recently covered on the Food Network show “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Drives. My brother and I went here for the first time last week.

Macrina Bakery, Seattle, WA

Macrina Bakery, Seattle, WA Originally uploaded by ninetreats On a recent trip to Seattle I did some research ahead of time and came up with a couple bakeries that I wanted to visit while I was there on business.

Emigration Market’s wood-fired pizza

Several months ago my brother and I went to Emigration Market. It is a neighborhood grocery store in Salt Lake City on the corner of 1700 S and 1300 S. It has obviously been there for quite awhile. It is a pretty typical market, but you can tell they have started to take up the [...]

Big City Pizza?

Last fall I wrote my impressions of Big City Soup. It was good then. I have been back several times since then. It is still good. They have figured out how to make soup.

Settebello Napoletana Pizza

I caught the smell of wood smoke half a block away as I was walking to this new little pizza place in downtown Salt Lake. My visit this week was the result of another walk I had taken on a week or two earlier. Most afternoons I need some time to get out of my [...]

The Chimi Project: Red Iguana

For eating Mexican food, the Red Iguana is a landmark in Salt Lake City. Whenever a discussion about where to get good Mexican food occurs, it will always get a mention. When I figured out that it had chimichangas on their menu, we put it on the list of places we needed to evaluate as [...]
