The Fat Man and his wife took an adventure out West to Utah. We traveled to several places in the state, and with traveling comes new food opportunities. We stopped into Moab Brewery, a microbrewery known for ales & IPAs, an American restaurant, bar, patio dining & a gift shop.
We started with Desert Wings and BBQ sauce. The wings were good-sized, juicy, and cooked well. The skin was crispy, and the BBQ sauce was sweet and sticky, with a slight heat note on the end that tingled the lips. The Bleu cheese and the ranch were made in-house and had great flavor. The order size was large for an appetizer.
My wife had the BLTA sandwich with applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheddar cheese, and garlic aioli served with fries. The fries were well-cooked and seasoned well. The avocado, tomato, and lettuce were fresh, and the portions were in proper amounts. The Texas toast was lightly toasted and had a good crunch. The bacon was medium cut but had a good salt level, crunch, and chew. The Mayo added a salt level and creaminess that tied the sandwich together.
I went with the Santa Maria Tri-Tip sandwich served with chimichurri, Cole slaw, and jalapeno-dusted fries. The pub-style fries were cooked golden brown, light, crispy, and pillowy on the inside. The jalapeno dust adds some good salt and heat to every bite. It was also served with beer cheese soup with a heavily sweet garlic cheesy flavor and some heat on the back end; it was very thin. The Texas toast was lightly toasted with a slight crunch and was not greasy. The chimichurri had a heavy, vinegary sourness that was overwhelming. The Tri-Tip was juicy and tender with a slight chew but lacked flavor.
