The "C" would sometimes burn out, leaving "arousel ice cream"

Veracruz

10/27/16 10:43pm

Like the "burnt-out" (more like vandalized) G in Black Angus.

I saw that at the Artic Circle in Payson once.

Veracruz

10/27/16 10:47pm

Real an(g)us beef

spoxjox

Jerry's.

I liked Carousel, but it always had a weird smell.

La Dolce Vita

spoxjox

10/27/16 10:42pm

We go there every time we're in Provo. Good food, nice Sicilian owners, decent

spoxjox

10/27/16 10:53pm

I was meaning places that aren't around anymore, hopefully La Dolce Vita sticks

ataylor

10/27/16 10:56pm

Couldn't agree more.

The Original Bamboo Hut x 1,000,000

COUGZ

10/27/16 10:44pm

Even when they moved down by the tracks on Freedom they were still good

jdub

10/27/16 10:45pm

The place by Freedom had fired the original chef. Movies8 location did rehire her. But I miss the SHACK on Canyon.

Any old-timers remember the Chinese restaurant on about 4th South and 7th East?

spoxjox

10/27/16 10:47pm

The one on the corner? Maybe 15-20 years ago?

jdub

10/27/16 10:52pm

Probably more like 25-30 years ago.

spoxjox

10/27/16 10:53pm

Hmmm, it could be 25 for the one I'm thinking, but not 30.

jdub

10/27/16 10:58pm

Well, by "not 30" I mean I didn't go there that long ago.

jdub

10/27/16 10:59pm

We got married in 1988 and left in 1990, so that was when we went.

Saigon? My wife and I always went there. It's still there.

DanSmith

10/28/16 4:37am

That's 3rd S. and about 4th W. Not likely the same one.

jdub

10/28/16 5:53am

Ah, yep. My bad. I guess it's already been too long.

DanSmith

10/28/16 8:55am

That was good too though\

jdub

10/28/16 9:16am

When the original J-Dawgs opened, he was floating Costco hot dogs in a crock pot

WDaddy

10/27/16 10:48pm

Walking down from the testing center, then get some copies of whatever right?

CSoul

10/27/16 10:50pm

The original Italian Place where J Dawgs is

Nat Gas Man

10/27/16 11:19pm

Anyone remember sounds easy pizza across from PHS? I remember it being good and cheap back in my high school days

UVUcoug35

10/27/16 11:02pm

Not good, but cheap.

Born2Fish

10/27/16 11:03pm

There's a reason we called it "Sounds Sleazy"

jdub

10/27/16 11:06pm

That's exactly what we called it

Born2Fish

10/27/16 11:08pm

Haha, that's right, i remember that now.

UVUcoug35

10/27/16 11:09pm

Used to rent videos there. Back when there still WERE video stores.

jdub

10/27/16 11:06pm

Yup, grab some easy bread and a VHS
