Nine Milky Way Blocks

 

Two weeks ago today, we took our oldest grandchild to the Clarke Planetarium to catch an IMAX movie. (We saw Backyard Wilderness, and it was amazing.) Then we all went out to lunch. All our favorite eateries have disappeared from the Gateway Mall: McGrath’s Fish House, Z’Tejas, California Pizza Kitchen, Rumbi Island Grill, Ben & Jerry’s, and Thaiphoon. But there is a lovely grocer there now, a branch of The Store Fine Foods Market and Deli that’s been a part of Holladay since before I was born. If it wasn’t for The Store, this corner of Salt Lake would probably be considered a food desert. I believe the nearest grocer is Harmon’s on the opposite side of City Creek Center – more than a mile away – with nothing but overpriced restaurants and convenience stores between. We enjoyed lunch in this little oasis: pasta salad, shepherd’s pie, lasagna, crab salad and stuffed cabbage rolls.
