Pallet

Hey Salt Lakers, surrounding area residents, and Utah visitors alike have you been to Pallet yet?
If you answered no you really need to reevaluate your priorities. Eating here should be at the top of your list. This is my current favorite restaurant. Unique food, in a unique space, with friendly staff and ah-maze-ing truffle fries. What's not to love? This little gem opened up earlier this year and I'm so in love. My mom and Adam and I tried Pallet last week for lunch and already I can't wait to go back for dinner.

I started off my meal with this sweet little concoction the West Shirley Temple. Named after West Temple the street in downtown salt lake. It's like a traditional Shirley Temple only with fresh mint and lime juice. It was delish.

The atmosphere is really fun, and eclectic, it's the type of place I want to lounge around in for a few hours with a good book and a good friend, that's probably thanks to the big plush pillows on the benches. Fresh succulents grace the restored wood tables and exposed industrial lights fill the space.

 But really it's the food that makes this place special. We started our meal with an order of truffle fries, and I really can't come up with words to describe how fantastic they were! Sprinkled with parmesan cheese and served with lemon garlic aioli, they were gone in like 45 seconds. Next up I got the pulled pork sandwich with white cheddar and onion strings with a side house salad, Adam got the burger and my mom got the house salad with chicken. All were equally delicious. (But if I had to choose one...that pulled pork...the sauce, the cheese, the ciabatta...oh man)

 So if you're looking for a fun new restaurant to try in the Salt Lake area go to Pallet. You will be glad you did!

The Awful Waffle

Have you tried the Awful Waffle yet? If you haven't you should because the food is great! I mean really, authentic Belgium waffles and frites (fries)?! Sign me up! If that's not enough to convince you to try it out their pizza is amazing too, so yeah...We tried a little of everything, a Belgium style waffle with strawberries and whipped cream, American style friets with dipping sauce and a bar b que chicken pizza. Haha I didn't realize how truly gluttonous that all sounded until I listed it just now. Don't judge us ok? The atmosphere is fun, and really relaxed - the space is so open and welcoming. It was a fun place to spend a little quality time together - we doodled on the chalk "board" tables for a long time after we ate, it was so awesome! So grab a good book and someone you like and head over to Awful Waffle for something tasty!    

 

Lunch date

Today my mom and my sister and I went to lunch at The Rose in Salt Lake. Our experience was so great that I felt obligated to share about it here on my blog. 

 First off they have an extensive tea menu, I got the herbal mint tea and my sister tried the lemon ginger. We were both very satisfied. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing. It would be a great place to get lost in the pages of your favorite book, while nibbling on a tasty treat.

 The food was fabulous, the menu is light perfect for quick lunch or breakfast. I tried the berry salad, my sister got the toasted pb and j and my mom got their porridge with fresh berries and cream.

 It was a great afternoon spent with my girls, sipping tea and munching on yummy food.

If you are in the city (or need an excuse to go) and are wondering where to eat try The Rose you won't be disappointed!

Out to Breakfast

One of my favorite places to eat (particularly for breakfast) is Ruth's diner up immigration canyon in Salt Lake. The food is always wonderful and today the company wasn't bad either. We went with my family and had a great morning in the sun.

 The cinnamon french toast with strawberries is my favorite, and today Adam tried the Corned Beef Hash, they were both delicious!

If you're in the area try Ruth's it's great!!
