These new Doritos Nacho Cheese tacos are amazing.  The taste is excellent and quite a wonderful melding of two tasty products - chips and tacos.  I prefer the basic version without sour cream, but the Supreme version comes with that and tomatoes.  Your choice of hot sauce complements an already superb taco.  Simply my favorite taco ever.  The new Cool Ranch flavor is also reviewed on this blog.  The nutrition info is similiar for both.  This has 1 gram less total fat, but 10 more calories.  So very similar in that regard.  For similarity in taste see the Cool Ranch review! 

Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco

The price for this, the basic version without sour cream, is $1.39 and tax.

These new Doritos Locos tacos have been extremely successful to Taco Bell since the Nacho Cheese version was released last year.  The highly anticipated release for the Cool Ranch version has also been successful but it can't compare with the Nacho Cheese version.  It is good, tasty and interesting but it tastes like a slightly seasoned taco shell.  It is not quite as flavorful as the Nacho Cheese.  While it is worth a try, I probably will order the Nacho Cheese before the Cool Ranch.  For an extra 30 cents you get the Supreme style featuring sour cream and tomatoes.  Now we have to wonder if other Doritos flavors will be coming our way in taco shell farm.  Salsa Verde maybe?

In N Out is a place for burgers, fries, shakes, and soft drinks.  Simple. great tasting food.  I'm not overly fond of the fries, however, so I make mine cheese fries.  In N Out has a secret menu meaning you can tell them things you want not listed on their simple menu.  For instance you can make your fries animal style and it will come with burger sauce, pickles, and other seasonings.  The sandwich pictured above is a protein style cheeseburger, so basically a lettuce wrap.  It is very tasty and a bit healthier to make up for the cheese fries.  The lettuce is thick and wrapped well around the burger and fixings so it is a perfect replacement for the bun.  No fork is needed.  Prices vary by location but my meal with an extra large drink was just over $7.  

Siegfried's Delicatessen German Food

For $6.99 you can fill up on a delicious German meal at Siegfried's Delicatessen in downtown Salt Lake City.The address is 20 W 200 E.  The cafeteria style flow is easy to navigate once you decide what you want.  You can order hot, ready to eat food or you may order over 70 varieties of meat as well as cheese and bread from the deli counter.  There is also a selection of European chocolate, candy, condiments, and other items as part of a mini grocery store.  The hot food menu has different daily specials.  On the the day I went the special was Borsch soup for $4.99.  I got the sausage plate with 2 sides for $6.99.  The sausage I ordered was knackworst and the two sides were the red cabbage which was hot and delicious with an applesauce dressing mixed in and fried potatoes which were tasty as well.  There is an excellent selection of dessert as well.  I chose the marzipan cake and that was fantastic.  The white cake with raspberry and whipped cream filling is crowned with delicious marzipan icing.  Marzipan (pronounced mahts-z-pahn) is almond based and can be found in abundance in the candy section.  You can get it in bars and also "potatoes", which are little balls of heavenly deliciousness.  For a change try an authentic German restaurant like Siegfried's, you won't be disappointed.

HAZUKI Asian Cuisine

This post is about a 6 month old restaurant in the lower cafeteria area of Utah Valley University.  Hazuki is an Asian fusion place that offers up rice and noodle bowls with chicken, shrimp, and a variety of sauces such as curry, ginger, and teriyaki.  Meat includes hibachi chicken which is the the healthiest and tastiest option, as well as tempura chicken (pictured below) and tempura shrimp. Toppings include peanuts, green onions, and crunchy noodles.  The prices are $5.95 for a bowl and it's very filling.  They also serve pork or vegetable egg rolls.  This part of the lower cafeteria has always been problematic.  Chik-Fil-A was too expensive, Wolverine Wok had poor quality and terrible tasting Asian food, Teriyaki Stix was too plain and only temporary.  This current place, Hazuki, is very tasty and filling and the prices are fairly reasonable.  It is worth a try.  The problem is the hours.  It is only open til 2pm and so the late afternoon and evening crowd of students, faculty, and staff miss out on the new Asian cuisine.  It is a delicious alternative to the sandwiches, pizza, and Mexican food also offered in the same area, but which is served til the evening hours.

If you like Subway then you will like the veggie patty sandwich, even if you don't like vegetarian stuff.  The Subway Veggie Patty is filling and tastes pretty much like meat so you feel like you are not missing anything.  Most people don't even realize Subway has a veggie patty option as it doesn't have a picture on the menu and is on on the left hand bottom side in one of the middle menus.  It's delicious and you can pretty much choose any veggie and sauce option to go with it.    I gave a 3 star rating simply because I personally tire of sandwiches easily and grow bored with the same old taste of Subway.

The new McDonald's Fish Bites are here for your consumption.  These fish bites are not as crispy as chicken bites.  They are more soft and flaky.  The batter is thick but tasty with a seasoned flavor.  The meat inside is tasty and very moist, but so small due to the bite size.  Hence repeated eating.  Like the old slogan "You can't have just one . . . ".  The tartar sauce was surprisingly tasty.  It was pretty thick with chunks of pickle or something that gave it a full flavor and perfectly complimented the bites which are tasty, but tend to get doughy after repeated bites, so the sauce helps.  Like most tasty things the calories, cholesterol, sodium, and fat content are problematic.  But these bites are worth a try.  They don't really have a fishy taste either which is always a plus.  The texture, however, is definitely fishish.  The price is $2.99 for the regular size, $1.99 for the snack size, and over $4 for the larger sizes.
