Here is the start of a wonderful adventure!  What I have decided to do is explore some of the amazing small restaurants around the Provo/Orem area.  Mostly I will be in Provo, but will explore into Orem on occasion.  Now, I am no food critic or anything like that, I just have an intense love for food and a passion for mixing flavors.

Just as a background, I grew up in a house that would eat food from the Ukraine, Russia, Japan, China, France, Germany and a few other countries.  I can remember holding a pirogi in one hand and having a piece of chicken fried steak in the other.  Needless to say, I have a very interesting palette.  But, I have decided to also include the people in my life that have a passion for food, cooking, and trying new things.  Usually this will be a weekly lunch thing, but depending on the week, we may do more and we may do less.  The people that are involved are Mahayla (my 1 year old daughter), Cheri (my mum), and Melody (my wife).  Both Melody and Mahayla have a liking for the milder side of life; while Cheri and I enjoy spicy.  So, if anything has any spice, Cheri and I will take that one for the team.  All of us have particular likes/dislikes, so hopefully we give you some insight towards the great places.

We are going to do lunch at the small random restaurants around Historic Downtown Provo and occasionally in Orem.  What I will chronicle here is the overall experience that we have as well as how the food was.  So, this will provide you with the 411 on the little guys in the area.  Enjoy.
