It looks like the long wait for Sapa is finally over. In case you weren’t aware of this restaurant, Sapa is the latest endeavour from the owners of the popular Pho Green Papaya. The restaurant is built around centuries old, imported wooden Vietnamese structures. The restaurant recently acquired a full liquor license and opened July 9th (with little to no announcements I should add). Their website is still a work in progress, but their menu is Asian centric with a sushi bar to boot.

Reported over on the Salt City Food blog is the demise of the Brookside broiler and Grill, in Sugarhouse. Gone is the odd mix of Mongolian barbecue and grilled meats. In it’s place should be a new sushi restaurant. Which begs the question, does SLC really need another. Heck is there still demand for more?

Occupying the former Iggy’s location downtown. Legend’s appears to be your typical sports pub with food, tvs and whatnot. The menu checks all the boxes you would expect with a mix of burgers, sandwiches, pizzas and more.

It seems like all the national burger chains are muscling in for a bit of the SLC burger buck. Hot on the heels of In-n-Out, Counter Burger and Five guys comes Smash Burger. Smash Burger’s USP seems to be that they quite literally smash lumps of meat onto their grill, reputedly to seal in the flavor. Quite how this translates with their “smash chicken” is not quite as apparent…
