All Aboard!

When was the last time you visited downtown Provo? There are so many exciting things happening to restore the area to its once lively happening place. The new convention center and Nu Skin building are changing the entire atmosphere, and great restaurants for every palate are popping up everywhere.I love Communal and Spark, but I’m happy to see there is a new casual place for easy affordable dining. Welcome, Station 22!
Richard Gregory has long owned the entire corner square of West Center Street and University Avenue. He is now setting his hand to restaurants and hoping to turn the entire area into a hub of eating activity.
The first venture is Station 22 featuring fun sandwich, soup and salad offerings. The inspiration came from his cowboy father, a real gentleman who enjoyed the finer things in life. To help launch the concept, daughter-in-law Brittany Ammon was brought in from her culinary school experience in Napa Valley. Chef “B,” as she is lovingly known, is in her element with a discriminating eye watching over the salad bar, guests and every detail of food service.
My husband, Rick, and I took a turn at the salad bar, which had fairly typical offerings other than roasted chicken breast — a welcome addition for guests who are watching carbs and need the protein. (Yes, after all the food at my recent wedding celebrations, I’m back to eating low carb!)
We were thrilled with the delicious homemade soups: tomato bisque and shredded vegetable beef … really good! We tried the “Mighty Meatloaf” sandwich (without the bread). The meatloaf would have been on the ordinary side except for the heavenly homemade “Truffle Ketchup,” which elevated it to totally awesome!
They offered me a complimentary fresh raspberry cake with real whipped cream. I had to have just a bite. It was obviously homemade with love. I’m going back when I’m not watching my carbs so close.
I always appreciate a restaurant that uses eco-friendly disposables, corn starch forks, brown napkins and paper soup bowls. No Styrofoam here!
Station 22 also offers a great kids menu, which makes it a great destination for families.
All aboard for a restaurant that offers casual dining, yummy food and local Utah products.
Good job, Station 22!
Remember to fill your life with scrumptious food and joy.

I read your reviews in each addition of the magazine, and I think that you offer great insight into local restaurants.
I would like to steer your attention southward to Dalton’s Restaurant in Payson. I know, I know PAYSON, but since this restaurant changed ownership earlier this year it has gone from A to Z. It is one of the coziest, elegant restaurants in the valley. A lot of the decor is Utah art and some of the photos are the most beautiful that I have seen.
I really think this restaurant deserves a review. Thank you for listening!
