I tried so many new places in Salt Lake but I didn’t even make a dent in how much it has to offer! I guess that just means I’ll have to go back soon πŸ˜‰ 

Do you like trying new restaurants when you travel to new cities?

      They’re really tasty! Maybe you could send the company an email and ask to try them!

      They sounded super yummy but lacked flavor! You should recreate them πŸ™‚

    It looks like you got to eat some awesome food while visiting Utah! I am now craving pancakes… haha. So, question. What do you think of Quest Bars? I haven’t tried one yet, but it seems like everyone likes them!

      I don’t mind Quest Bars! I’m not totally obsessed with them like some people, but they’re a good snack! I know they have something called “erytithol” or something like that – I’m not exactly sure what it is!
