For Valentine's Day JC and I went to the Little America Cafe to eat dinner. We went later so that we wouldn't have to wait. As we were walking in JC says to me, "is that who I think it is?" Sure enough President Monson and his cute wife were walking out of the restaurant towards us. I thought to myself, there is no way that I can let him walk by without saying something! So I say, "hi President Monson!" He shook our hands and said, "looks like you two are out on a Valentine's Date". He is such a cute old man and yes, I did say old!! I think they put a lot of makeup on him when he's on tv! All joking aside, it was an incredible experience. I had such a warm feeling when I saw him. I know that he truly is a Prophet of God. For a second there I thought, I wonder if he is reading my mind right now!! HAHAHA!!

Best, Food, Ever!

It is no secret that JC and I love to eat out. We justify eating out every night because there are only two of us. We have our regulars to fall back on if we are in a hurry or want something familiar. Lately, we have been trying new restaurants to broaden our horizons! Having said that, I think that we have eaten enough $#!t to justify our critiques! Hopefully y'all will find our reviews helpful in your own dining experiences.

Burgers and Fries

1. Five Guys (Best burger in Salt Lake, and the Cajun fries are delectable)
2. Crown Burger (It is hard not to put a local joint #1 but the fries are, meh)
