::YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT::

This year our family reunion is planned right around Ang's birthday and the whole family will be in Provo...so I'm putting together some options of good places in Provo (or the surrouning area) so she can start thinking about where she wants to go for her birthday dinner! Good luck Ang! (I know you said 15 words or less but let's be honest...I'm a woman of words!)


shootsrestaurant.com
-Chinese cuisine that is delicious! They have the BEST dessert ever! (we've gone just to order the dessert, it's that good!)
SHAVED ICE- Topped with fresh fruit and splashed with cream. Pick up to 3 fruits: Strawberry, Banana, Pineapple or Kiwi (may vary by season)

Costa is a classic for our family! We all love their food...so keep it in mind if you just want a classic!
-Baja-inspired foods with amazing flavor!
Don't forget the salads and the to-die-for Tres Leches!
-if you need more convincing...go to costavida.net

Zupas is another personal favorite...and I think Aimee will second this one!
-they are obsessed with soups, salads, sandwiches and desserts
I would recommend the California Turkey Sandwich and the Nuts About Berries Salad. All meals come with a roll and a chocolate covered strawberry...so delicious!
-look at the full menu at zupas.com



You may recognize this name...Donny and I went here for Donny's birthday.
-all you can eat Brazilian Grill with TONS of meat and an open salad bar with some tasty food!
-they will sing to you for your birthday in "tribal"
tucanos.com shows the different meats they serve and the best part...grilled pineapple!


For some of the tastiest pizza and Italian in town there is Brick Oven Pizza.
brickovenprovo.net
It was one of Provo's first pizza parlors and it is SOOOO good! Everything I've eaten from there has been fantastic!




For a yummy classic burger and fries (and the best ice cream!) The Creamery on 9th is the perfect place to go. It's a classic!

There are tons more options like Ottavio's, the Malt Shoppe, Burger Supreme, J Dawgs, Los Hermanos, The Pizza Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, P.F. Changs, Bombay House...and the list goes on...if you really want to see more options you can go to http://www.utahdinersguide.com/ and search your heart out. There are TONS of fun options in the area!

So who put you in charge of making my mouth water at midnight. I like all those choices, I'll take one of each :) I have to add my opinion, Zupas is A-Maz-Ing! LOVE IT! I'm sure the others are great too...

Hooray! I don't know what to choose! I guess this birthday girl will just have to keep deciding. Good thing that I have a little more time before my birthday. I'm so old, do you realize how old I'm going to be? Yikes. Thanks for all of your research, Ash. It's going to be such a fun reunion!
