Restaurant Review: Pulp
Location: Sandy, Utah
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ of 5
Mom approved: No. No changing table in the bathroom. 😤
Overall impressions:
Food is tasty, fresh, and loads of healthy options on the menu with both vegan and meat eater choices. I am a bit of a restaurant environment snob and found that this wasn’t the best location for business breakfast meeting – too loud with all the cement and metal decor. But us hippie-yoga-Mormon types still loved the food enough that we’ll be back.
The Rice and Bean Burger from Founding Farmers did not disappoint! Looks like several meatless menu items, so will have to check out the restaurant again when I can eat in (food to-go today because worried about missing flight) and then can truly enjoy the ambiance.
Food: At lunchtime, Taste of India has a great deal for $9.99. You choose 2 of the 6 options – I had the madras lentils and also veggies in creamy tomato based sauce – that come in small bowls. Paired with basmati rice, 2 large naan, vegetable pakora appetizer, green salad and dessert donut – all on one huge platter. So much food couldn’t finish it all! Haven’t been there for dinner yet, but the lunch was flavorful, plentiful and reasonably priced.
Environment: The booths allow for private conversation and comfortable for 4 adults. There are some long tables as well that worked well for large gatherings. Wait staff was friendly and attentive, checking in with us appropriately.
Overall, a great spot for vegetable and meat lovers alike!
4/5 stars
Vegan macaroni at Good Life Cafe in Ogden. Definitely, order with the roasted Brussels sprouts mixed in. By far the best vegan macaroni I’ve ever had!
Restaurant Review: Tosh’s Ramen in SLC ⭐⭐⭐
Dishes:
Vegetarian Ramen with vegan yam noodles (3/5 ⭐)
Vegetables included baby bok choy, two different mushrooms, bean sprouts and green onions – the best was the marinated shiitake mushroom. Vegetable broth was pretty robust for vegetable broth. The yam noodles were the weird chewy kind and not enough. Definitely not enough food to be a complete meal on its own.
Vegetarian Gyoza (3/5 ⭐)
More of a pot sticker, the gyozas were filled with diced cabbage and onions. Pan fried too much for my liking and making it difficult to bite in half. The dipping sauce was a tart garlic soy sauce very strong flavor.

Celebrating a work success so out we go to dinner, a rare occasion these days for our little family. The Ramen Soup 🍜was easily the best dish of the night! Although the sushi 🍣 was welcomed because I rarely have it anymore. The Naruto roll had a lovely light sweet sauce, the Avocado Bomb filled with spicy fish was quite the mouthful, stay away from the Tornado because way too greasy with fried roll – although the pile of fried noodles in the middle was impressive!
Food Truck lunch today at the Winter Farmer’s Market… Tofu with chipotle mole sauce and piled high with tangy crisp cabbage slaw on blue corn tortillas.
Introducing my step daughters to boba drinks.
Dinner with one of my favorite people on the planet @suprbell. So grateful for a good friend! Lots of yummy gourmet pizza combos, but I went for a build-your-own with spinach, mushrooms, black olives, garlic, artichoke hearts. No cheese to keep it vegan. Pretty good thin crust pizza for Bountiful, Utah! 😉
When a guy stands you up for a date, sometimes a girl has gotta take herself out for dinner anyhow!
