Park City Get Away

The girls joined us the last couple of days in Park City.  The plan was to let them ski a few days, but the snow was so crumby we decided to save our pesos.  We had a great time shopping, eating, poking around in the shops & galleries and hanging out in our room.  Much better than sitting in class!! (Right, girls?) Tracy had recommended this quaint little "hole in the wall" place to eat called Karleen's Uptown Fare.  It is located up at the very end of Main Street on the right hand side, under a hotel.  (A cute lady out walking her dog, Toto had to point it out to us.)  It was divine!  We loved it so much earlier in the week that we wanted to bring the girls back!  Great home cooking - they roast a turkey for sandwiches nearly daily and have amazing soups.  All the desserts are lined up in front of the register and you get to go pick out whatever you'd like after you finish lunch - of course for a price, but it was lovely.  The owner told us a funny story about "Sundance Film Festival".  In years past the have had to deal with the snobby stars who are so bossy and picky about how they want their sandwich and what they will or won't eat on it. So this year they actually hired a bouncer and only let the locals in!!  We LOVED that story. It made all those poor little rich people sooo angry - especially when they were getting some amazing coverage from the media.  We will definately be back!



The door height will give you a clue as to how tiny this place is.  The floor doesn't have an even spot anywhere!  Tiny little tables are tucked everywhere.  It's kind of like being in a little hobbit house.
I forgot the owners name, but here she is.
Stacey's Beet & Blue Cheese Salad was yummy!  
(Note the simplicity of the paper plates.)

A few items warrant real dishes such as the soup and the 
AMAZING Chocolate Cake! (Never had better.Ever.)


Emily found a hot seat...and Camber found a wet one.  
We sure had a sweet little get-away.

It looks like you had a great escape and I think we need a road trip to check out some quilt shops and end in Park City at that fun sandwich shop. I'm sure we would not be kicked out because we may be famous but we are no celebrity.

I'm glad you made it to Karleen's! It is a yummy place. I loved the story about the celebs. That was too funny. Glad you all had a great time.
