I would love to have some New York-style bagels to buy somewhere close by. I'm sorry, but Einsteins & Costco bagels are not even close. Bagels should not be squishable like cheap white bread! I really miss great little wine shops, too. Darn those outmoded Utah liquor laws!

Like I said in an earlier post Marian, a nice Kosher Deli might take care of the bagel dilemma. Most Utahn's have NO clue what a REAL bagel is like. let along a good kosher corned beef or pastrami on rye would be like. Believe me Jason's Deli nor any of these other wanna be's will do. Once you've had the REAL thing it's all downhill from there.

This applies for cheesesteaks and hoagies, too. Just nothing like the real thing. I have tried all these places that claim to have cheesesteaks and hoagies like they do in Philly...not so much. Some are ok in their own right, but none of them are even close to being the same.

Thank goodness we can now order online the food we like, where we like it from, living where we want to live. Technology is a wonderful thing sometimes!

I've been really impressed by Moochies. I even went back home and had a few cheesesteaks in Philly last year and I thought Moochies was equivalent. Everywhere else though in Utah so far, with their proto-cheesesteaks, just stink.

We have had Moochies and it does come the closest of any place we have tried out here...and we have tried them all.

Yep, that about sums it up for me. Only other things I can think of are a good amusement park, like Cedar Point & an awesome indoor waterpark, like Kalahari. =) But, I'll take my quality of life here over the parks & food.

Too bad you can't swim at them. My friends went there to swim & I don't know if they were told, or there were signs. But, they couldn't swim. =(

Culver's has grilled chicken that is really good. But, no, the burger is not a good idea, but it is so good! My fav burger in SLC!

Have you all tried Downtown Philly? Hubby & his friend, who has family in Philly, like it better than Moochies.

Speaking of food from other places, I'd like a Chicago dipped roast beef place (heaven!) & sandwiches like Primanti Bros back in Pittsburgh. Bread, vinegar slaw, fries, chesse & meat. Yummy! Of course, I miss Barberton, Ohio chicken too. Swenson's burger from Akron, best burgers ever! & potato teasers w/ ranch.

Oh, & Hungry Howie's pizza. I love their flavored crust! =) You could get any of the flavors on garlic bread too (I got onion flavor insead of garlic) . Cheap & good!

I'm sure I'll post when I think of something else. =)
