Our honeymoon was spent in Park City doing our three favorite things: sleeping, watching TV, and eating delicious food. One of the most notable meals was at the West Gate resort's steak house, Edge. Daryn, with his smooth skills (or was it because I told him to mention the fact that we were on our honeymoon at the front dresk...?), got us a $75 credit to either the spa, market, or steakhouse. The choice was simple - you'll soon fully comprehend our love for food - so we made a reservation for the following evening.
Edge Steakhouse is an award winning restaurant (Best of State 2013, TripAdvisor Award, and OpenTable Diner's Choice), and its high-class atmosphere clues you in on what the price range of a meal might be. For newlyweds and students, the price would have held us back from experiencing a tastefully enjoyable experience. Thankfully, my clever husband fixed that problem for us! As we were looking through the menu, our waiter surprised us with a chef's taster (a small portion of a meal): a corn chip with fetta and corn. There was a lot of fetta, so I was afraid it would be too overpowering, but it was simply delicious. We began our meal with a Caesar salad, which our waiter prepared for us at our table, and then our minds were blown by a pastry that we had been dying to try: popovers. These are puffy, hollow rolls made with an egg batter that gives it the same taste and texture of German pancakes, and let me tell you, they are to die for (we have our own popover pan and make them frequently). Our main courses arrived at a timely rate and were delicious. I had a prime aged 6 ounce petit filet, and Daryn had a Snake Rivers Farm Wagyu Beef 10 ounce zabuton. We also ordered two sides: black & white truffle mac & cheese and brussels sprouts infused with julienne bacon (aka a normally healthy vegetable with chunks of pork belly). The pictures may not look like much, but Oh. My. Gosh. It was so yummy! Now, I'm not much of a steak person, but Daryn enjoyed every bit of his meat and the leftovers of mine, so he can attest to the quality of the beef. Finally, the manager offered us a free dessert in celebration of our marriage: a chocolate souffle with homemade blueberry icecream. Overall, Edge Steakhouse was a one of a kind experience that was highly enjoyable. 
So, now that I've given you a rundown of our meal at the most expensive restaurant we've ever been to, I probably should get back to explaining why we've decided to start this blog and what it will be about. I've actually already given you an example - maybe you caught on. Our friends and families are well aware of our obsession with food; we thoroughly enjoy trying local cuisine as well as cooking for ourselves (Daryn's the chef in our house), and we love talking about it almost as much as we love eating it. We even find ourselves critiquing each of our meals. Daryn caught onto this faster than I did, which is why he thought it would be fun to start a blog where we can talk about all of our favorite restaurants as well as our own delicious concoctions. So, if you're ever curious about a restaurant, wondering if it's worth a try, or bored and looking for a new meal to cook at home, our blog is the place to start! We're definitely open to any suggestions - if you don't want to waste time or money trying somewhere new, and we haven't been there, let us know, and we'll go check it out! We'll give you a run down on price, the good eats, and the quality of service. We might be young and naive, but we know food!
Bon Appetit!
