Smokin Bones BBQ

For any of you that are familiar with Bountiful, there are ZERO good BBQ places around. We usually end up driving to SLC to go to Pat's BBQ (which is amazing..)

But ladies & gentlemen Lo & Behold there's a new BBQ place in B-Town!

Smokin Bones BBQ!

(Just opened this week)

they are located on 360 South and 200 West just around the corner from Wendy's.

They were PACKED and had a note on the door saying they were about to run out of food! I would suggest getting there early evening to get what you want before they run out.

I got the brisket sandwich meal that came with a drink & two sides.

I picked cornbread (their honey butter was SO GOOD!) & baked beans.

Not to mention the ice in the soda machines made my drink almost slushy. I loved it!

 

The only downsides to this place: I think it's going to get SUPER busy & it doesn't accommodate too many people. There isn't much parking either since it's one of the main streets. It was also REALLY smoky smelling in there which was great for a while but my eyes started to burn towards the end of dinner. My eyes are super sensitive though, it didn't seem to bother anyone else..

 

Overall I thought the food was fantastic & the boys were so happy to have a great BBQ place so close to home!

 

 



Vito's Restaurant

Those of you that know me, know I'm crazy about my food.

 

My family has been RAVING about Vito's in Bountiful, Utah forever. Vito's used to be a little mobile food stand on Main Street- like a taco stand for way better food.

Just recently since Bountiful's Main Street has become the newest hot spot, Vito's opened an official restaurant and it's DELICIOUS!

 

Vito's is on the Corner of Main Street across from Pat's Dancewear.

The prices are ABOUT $10.00 or less- (a few items more) and includes a beverage. Sandwiches include a beverage and chips!

 

I got the Penne Pasta with Meatballs

(you guys know I don't eat meatballs..)

SO I went out on a limb and it was incredible.

 

 

 

...not to mention they have the tiniest salt & pepper shakers I've ever seen they were adorable..

Dad and Spencer refused to have their pictures taken

 

 

 

Not only is this restaurant amazing, but I was a little shocked after I ordered..

My mom handed me a calculator and told me to add it all up.

Vito's is completely based on the honor system!!

I couldn't believe it! I added up our food- got the total, and there's a huge jar of money to put your cash in. Make your own change and all...

 

 

I was so shocked that someone, a business owner, in this day and age would trust people to be honest.
Call it stupid? I think it's TOTALLY AWESOME!

I was in total awe and my parents got laughing and asked him, "What if you get ripped off?!"

His response was, "If that's the case then I can figure they needed it more than I do and I probably would have bought their dinner anyways.."

 

.WOW.

 

I would 100% recommend Vito's for awesome, quick food!

Something to know in advance: it's CASH or CHECK only!

Be prepared to add up your own meals & dig in the cash jar!

 

 



Hatch Family!

“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.” 
-Charles M. Schulz

 

My lovely high school winter days consisted of many trips to Hatch Family Chocolates in the SLC Avenues. The best kind of day to venture out in the snow were the ones I was totally unsure if I was even going to make it there.

The RICH, OH-so-Lovely, steamy cup of hot chocolate fixed everything.

No matter how fattening it is.

 

Katie and Steve Hatch are the sweet couple who owns Hatch Family Chocolates.

Katie and Steve are little people.

You may have seen them on TLC's The Little Chocolatiers!

I loved seeing one of my favorite hang out spots on TLC. Katie and Steve are two of the nicest people I've ever met!

 

This past weekend my little sister Fatalie and I made a stop after work to fill up on some Chocolate. SERIOUSLY guys.. If you live in the area and haven't been.. you are TOTALLY missing out. Take my word on this!

 

If you head North up E street & turn LEFT on 8th Ave- you'll run right into it!

{You can also find their website HERE}

 

 

 

 

 

Their hot chocolate is to DIE for.

..NOT kidding..

They don't use any powder- they steam solid chocolate and mix it with heavy whipping cream... yeahhh......

 

Hatch Family Chocolates has been one of my favorite little shops in Salt Lake City!

If you haven't gone yet.. GO!

You won't be upset, I promise!
