A taste of Texas in P-Town

Utah is a difficult place to get used to, and I can't say that I have. Although, to be honest, there are parts of me that never want to. Being born and raised in Southern California I may be inflicted with a little bit of pride (little being an understatement). I will take the year round summer over the four seasons, the beach over the mountains, and the diverse population over Mormon country any day. However, Utah does have a plethora of delicious restaurants that you can not find in California. There seems to be restaurants every where in Provo and Orem. You can get almost any kind of food you want and from any country. I recently visited a little hole in the wall Joe's Café, and here is what I thought.

If you are craving a taste of the South in a clean and fun environment, then look no further than Joe’s Café. Upon entering, you will find Joe himself at the grill, preparing authentic Southern food. The feeling of family is palpable; Joe’s wife takes orders and runs the register. While waiting in line, you will be serenaded with classic hits from African-American artists playing over the speakers. The walls are lined with pictures of Joe, with his infectious smile, standing beside happy patrons. Posted on the walls leading to the register, are positive reviews about Joe and his café, which you will wholeheartedly agree with by the time you have finished your dining.  No matter which meal you and your family stop in for, I know that by the end of your visit you will agree, he ain’t no ordinary Joe!

So, while Utah is drastically different from my beloved home town, I can admit that it is home to some great restaurants, Joe's café being one of them!
