Went to Mama Chu’s for lunch.  Nice little place just at the mouth of Provo canyon.  They have  daily lunch special that makes them a good choice for a cheep lunch.  I had the Bean and Beef Burrito today.  Very good for only 5.00!

There is not much parking around the place.  Sometimes you have to park on the street.  That is a good sign if you ask me.

You get chips and very good salsa while you wait for your food.

And the meal comes fast and has always been good.

Roggen, out!

Oktoberfest happens every year up at Snowbird.  We try to make it every year, as I am such a big fan of German food.  It is always a good time.  The food, music and best of all the Chicken dance!  We usually take the tram to hear the alp horns play, but this year we didn’t make it in time.  Maybe next year.

Welcome to Oktoberfest!

The food was good as always!  I love getting the Rouladen.  The only thing missing is the traditional pickle inside, but it is still good!  And the wurst is always a crowd pleaser.

Feel free to join us next year, or if you really want, it is still going on for two weekends more.

Had sushi for lunch. Always good fooding.  Went to the Sushi Ya, all you can eat sushi bar for lunch.  The sushi is quite good.

So after dinner on Monday that fam was jonesing for something sweet.  So we loaded up the car and headed out to Leather! Leatherby’s that is!

After a quick wait for a table we were seated and handed menus.  The kids wanted the “BIG One!”  Luckily there was a smaller version of the big one for them.  I had the “Traci’s peanutbutter cup and K had the Cookie Sunday!  They all were delicious!  And I was blown away that the kids were able to finish it!

I had to do a quick lunch today, so I jumped on the Ol’ iPhone and did a search in Yelp for somewhere to eat.  TheJerkShack came up as one of the hits, and there were a couple of favorable reviews of the place, so I decided to give it a try.  Since I have never had “Authentic Jamaican” food before I made the jaunt there.  Upon finding the place I Parked and headed to the window.  After deciding on the Combo plate I rang to doorbell for service.  I was promptly met by the man behind the counter.  He made a few suggestions and the order went in.  He quickly made the plate of food and got me a soda.

I took my food and sat at the table next to the “shack” and grabbed a few quick shots with the iPhone.

The combo plate came with Jerk Chicken, Jerk Pork, Red beans and Rice.  The overall taste of the food was good.  And I think it was mostly healthy for me too.  It seemed that the rice was brown rice, which my wife keeps trying to get me to eat.  If she did it like this I might eat more of it.  I would have liked a little more sauce, so that I could put it on the rice as well, but next time I will know to ask.  There was a smoker behind the shack so I am assuming the meat was smoked in it.

Over all the experience was good.  I think this place is a better Spring and Fall local as there is only outdoor seating.  But it would be easy to swing by and do the drive through thing.

Thanks for the fooding JerkShack! Their website is located here: http://thejerkshack.blogspot.com/ They have their Menu on the site.

Roggen, out!

Charlie’s Hotdog King!  I have been here a few times now, and every time I have been impressed with what I have gotten.  The menu is quite extensive.  There are more choices than you can shake a stick at.  They also have a daily deal: $7 for a foot long with Drink and side.

I have added RoggenEats to twitter.  Lets see if the integration will work!

First fooding post of the day. Went to a little wood fired pizza place today in Orem.  It is a little place called Pizzeria Seven Twelve.  And I have to say that it was fantastic.  I am a huge fan of wood fired pizza and this place ranks right up there with the best of them.  It would be easy to miss this local as it is not very vissible from State Street.  I am glad that I was invited to hit this local for lunch with a co-worker!

The pizza was a total fooding experience.  And the setting is nice as well.  We were ushered into the dining room and showed to a table.  We were promply brought a plate of fresh Pita and Humus (great) and a bottle of water was left at the table.  The lunch menu is quite simple.  I parused the menu and made the dessision to get the “Speck” pizza.  Which was a simple pizza of Speck, soppresata, garlic and mozzarella.  Nothing complicated there but all good!  The pizza quickly was delived to the table and the festival of flavor began.  Upon first bite I knew I would be enjoying every bite.  Which I did.

I recommend Pizzeria 712 as a fooding find.

You can find them on the web at http://www.pizzeria712.com/

If you are in the area and looking for good wood fired pizza, give them a whirl!

Here are a few pics I snapped!

Roggen out!

So there has been a lot of talk that I do too much posting about food in this world!  Well I have to disagree with what is being said.  I don’t think there can be enough talk about food.  Hopefully it is good food talk!  I myself enjoy eating.  Which has gotten me into the current predicament.  So here I go with my own little corner of the blogisphere!  I hope that you will enjoy what you see and read here, heck I even hope that you will take my advice and try out some of the places that may get featured here at RoggenEats.com!

Enjoy your stay and come back often!

Roggen out!
