It occurred to me this afternoon that I am slowly but surely gaining exposure to Salt Lake City's restaurant scene. The past 24 hours have been especially fruitful-- I hit up the Himalayan Kitchen on 4th South for the lunch buffett (fabulous! The Tandoori chicken was so glorious and they had cloth napkins!) and had a late breakfast today from Mrs. Backer's Pastry Shop on South Temple (donuts were meh, but the eclair was stunning-- filled with lots of fluffy cream-- ohdon'tyawantonerightnow?) (they also have very lovely looking cookies and cakes that beg further investigation). Anyways, here are some places I've checked out around town in the past while:
Squatter's-- food yuk, service terrible, beer good, nice atmosphere.
So Cupcake-- cupcakes were only so-so, low frosting to cake ratio. Skimpy frosting amazing but cake uninspiring. Very cute store design and the owners seemed nice.
Sawadee-- yummy Thai curries that could be just a bit hotter, great interior decor filled with Thai artwork.
Little World Chinese Restaurant-- when the yearning for fried rice strikes, they deliver-- with the biggest, moistest chunks of chicken you will ever find in fried rice. Inside dirty but hey, that's why you get take away.
The Pie-- nom nom nom. Thick saucy pizza goodness close to campus. It gets no better.

SLC is a good restaurant town. My favorites were the Vietnamese place, I think it was around 1500 S. State? Also the Mexican place on 800 South is worth a visit. Been to Mrs. Bäckers. Squatter's was pretty good when I went there, esp. the cask conditioned ale, but it was pricey. The Pie was OK but somewhat grotesque in proportions.
