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.
