Travelfood - Salt Lake City, Utah

While in Salt Lake City last week, I ate at 2 places of note:

  • Arctic Circle to relive a childhood memory, and

  • Bruges Waffles & Frites because I saw it on Man vs Food and I once spent a few days in Bruges, Belgium. It is a small place located right across the street from Pioneer Park. I missed the first couple times I drove by.
    The movable signs can and outside tables can help you find it too.


    The episode of Man vs Food highlighted the Machine Gun sandwich, but when I arrived they did not have any fresh bread. Having a flight to catch, I "settled" for a waffle. When I did, I found another treat to this small restaurant. It was the best waffle I had in the States - matched only when I was in Belgium. I had the torpedo waffle which is a waffle with 2 bars of dark, rich Belgian chocolate baked inside it. As a treat, I topped my torpedo waffle with fresh strawberries and freshly made whipped cream and it was a DELIGHT!
    To savor every bite, I ate this waffle quite slowly.
    It is expensive (my waffle cost almost $10), but it was SURE WORTH IT. Even without the chocolate, the waffle is delicious. There was more flavor than the waffles made with mixes as they are in this country. Strongly recommend if you find yourself in Salt Lake City - machine gun sandwich or waffle, I don't think you'll be diappointed.
