Will BYU break the Utes hopes of a BCS Birth?
Is Brian Johnson really that good? How does he compare to BYU’s Max Hall? Brian Johnson has never beaten BYU! Max Hall brought the Cougars back from 4th and 18 last year to seal a last minute victory for BYU in Provo, Utah.
BYU’s one loss, against TCU, was a crucial fall that killed any BCS hopes for this year. Although some BYU fans are hoping and praying for an at large bid, let’s get real, BYU will not be BCS bound this year.
What’s your prediction? Who will win this game on Saturday?
I’ve been so amazed at how much “hate mail” and “boycott threats” I’ve seen about Utah Tourism. What is the world coming to? I’ll attempt to stay off my soap box on this one but COME ON!
In the heart of the fall season and as the snow begins to fall in Utah, I thought I’d share a somewhat corny Utah Tourism ad I found on YouTube. More Utah videos to come:
If you haven’t been to Utah and skied the “greatest snow on Earth”, you’re missing out. This Utah Tourism campaign on YouTube is fitting, especially with all the “Utah Boycott” bologna flying around online.
SKI UTAH - I dare you!
The Utah Department of Transportation recently advised motorists that the Alpine Loop in Utah County - a segment of state Route 92, from Pine Hollow to Aspen Grove (milepost 15 to 22) - is closed for the winter.
The Alpine Loop is a beautiful scenic attraction in Utah County. This 20-mile drive winds through rugged alpine canyons of the Wasatch Range offering stupendous views of Mount Timpanogos and other glacier-carved peaks. The route follows Utah Hwy. 92 up American Fork Canyon and then continues through Uinta National Forest into Provo Canyon on U.S. 189. Because it’s a seasonal highway, the cost to keep the road open during the winter months is not practical due to heavy snowfalls in the area. This section of road will remain closed until spring 2009.
Here are a few pictures to help you remember what it looks like until next year

Carrabba’s Italian Grill in Orem, Utah
683 University Pkwy
Orem, UT 84097

I know we’re supposed to give a fair and objective opinion at Utah County Reviews, but I have to admit that if I am looking forward to a fancy night out, Carabba’s in Orem, Utah is one of my very favorite restaurants in Utah County. In my opinion, the Steak Marsala is the best steak in Utah County (sorry, Outback), and when it’s paired with their fettucine alfredo, it is an absolutely heavenly indulgence. Carabba’s hits every detail “spot on” even before your meal arrives with an excellent house salad and delicious warm Italian bread dipped in herbed olive oil.
While this restaurant is not cheap whether you’re counting your pennies or your calories, it is a necessary occasional luxury (and is definitely worth getting a babysitter). We love Carabba’s…and don’t worry, you can always take some home in a box!
A couple “heads up” tips, however:

Jason’s Deli in Orem, Utah
771 University Pkwy
Orem, UT 84097

If you’re looking for a Utah County restaurant with a huge selection specializing in sandwiches, wraps, and baked potatoes, chances are you should give Jason’s Deli in Orem, Utah a try. When we recently visited this delicatessen, located conveniently in the University Mall parking lot, we had a hard time making up our mind.
Unfortunately, when we finally ordered, half of us were less than excited about what we got. While this place has tons of options, beware: if you are iffy on onions, steer clear of the menu items that list them…because they are liberal with the onions!
Overall, this establishment was clean and kid-friendly, and we loved the California Club sandwich. However, when half of us go back and order something different, we just can’t give it all 5 stars. Let us know what you think of Jason’s Deli in Orem, Utah.
Had the chance today to visit Rexburg, Idaho for a few hours. I went to school there for a few years and really enjoyed my time camping, hiking and snowboarding at Grand Targee.

The Pita Pit in Provo, Utah

The Pita Pit in Provo, Utah has got to be one of the best places I know of to find fast, healthy food that is to-die-for-good and really fills you up. My personal favorite at The Pita Pit is “The Aloha”, a savory blend of teriyaki-grilled chicken, ham, and pineapple with all the veggies you want and, of course, I top it off with plenty of tzatsiki sauce. Even my husband, who groans at the healthy suggestions I often give for eating out, is sold on this one. This pita is stuffed with all the good stuff and leaves you feeling stuffed…but without the greasy hangover.
The only warning I’d give is that it can get pretty crowded. If the parking lot is full, you may be waiting around for quite awhile.
At around $7 per person, you definitely get your money’s worth at The Pita Pita - an innovative and delicious fast food restaurant in Provo, UT. And they know how to treat their customers. Last time we were there, they made a small mistake on my husband’s order, and quickly offered him a $1 off coupon for our next visit. Isn’t it those small gestures that leave you feeling warm and fuzzy? You’ll definitely leave The Pita Pit in Provo, Utah feeling warm, fuzzy, and satisfied.

El Azteca Mexican Taco Shop is conveniently located right off Bulldog and University Avenue in Provo, Utah. The price is around $7 for a good size meal that’s filling. They have free refills on drinks too! It’s a great place for kids with booth seating to keep things closely knit . It’s fairly clean - the salsa area was a bit cluttered but this can be expected. The promptness was probably our favorite thing about El Azteca in Provo. We had barely sat down to wait for our Mexican food and our number was called (probably 5 minutes max). The workers were friendly and seemed happy to be there - which is a plus too.
