The Training Table

Take a hint from me: a good burger is a true delight. And a good burger can be found at The Training Table. It is a local restaurant, founded right here in Utah, and the food is distinctive. That is my favorite kind, food which cannot be replicated anywhere else. It is great: there are many different styles of burgers and sandwiches to choose from, somewhere in the ballpark of about thirty-something, all gourmet-style. They come in bun and bunless styles for different nutritional preferences. Hamburger, chicken, pastrami, fish, even vegetarian burgers and sandwiches are available. I have never been to a place that specializes in nothing but burgers, especially not one this good.

Of course, no burger is complete without the side orders, and the Training Table excels at these, as well. They have fries and onion rings, cooked with passionate zeal, and one of the Training Table's most innovative recipes, the cheese fries, are second to none. Enjoy them with their special dipping sauce, which consists of specially ordered barbecue sauce with a dollop of thick, high-quality mayonnaise, and you are in heaven. For dessert, try the Snelgrove's ice cream sundaes, also a Utah original.

If you are a lover of burgers, as I am, then you know what a truly well-made burger means. It means wealth. It means independence, American values and dreams, it means that nothing in the world will ever stop you, because nothing in the world will ever taste this good. If you are a Utahn, like I am, then this is a place that you need to try. I recommend it. If you have never been there, try the #16, with cheese fries and dipping sauce, and a root beer. You'll thank me for it.
