We are cruising to eat at every restaurant on
State Street in Orem.
So, does Menchies count technically as a restaurant? Regardless, it does sell items to eat and it is on
State Street. That was my place of
choice tonight, because we had gone out to eat for a late lunch in Payson
earlier today. I’ve heard of Menchies
before from Phil's Seattle trip. And I had some samples last
summer when John, James, Phil and I went to the “Taste of Provo” event. The Taste of Provo happened at Riverwoods where many restaurants had booths and we got many
samples, including Menchies.
In the
Orem store tonight we walk in and just one other family walked in
before us. We had some samples and I ended
up with Greek Lemon (yum) and chocolate and coconut. Both John and I really liked the coconut
one. We got lucky in timing because a
dance recital must have just ended and it got really crowded after us.

Cool connection. Last week, I had been with Phil driving highway
89 and stopped at Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Of course, I had to buy a small bag of small candy rocks. Yep, they had
various sizes of rock candy you could buy.
I remember stopping there as a child with my parents. And I remember
getting some rock candy. I was a bit leery this time,
because I don’t remember them tasting very good. However, in attempting to
relive childhood memories, I bought a bag, thought only bought a small one. We brought it home and we opened it
on Father’s Day. I think the quality of
rock candy must have improved since I was a child. These were good, and they were chocolaty
inside. After eating a few, I wondered
if it was worth a trip back down highway 89 to get some more.
But guess what?!? At Menchies, they have rock candies as one
of the toppings. Now I know where to get
more rocks without driving so far. But
the scenery at Big Rock Candy Mountain is worth going to see too – and they have
more kinds of rock candy too.
