Sonic, Kodiak Cookies & Este Pizzeria

Ahh, Sonic Drive In takes me back to the time of poodle skirts, football teams, roller skating, and rock 'n roll. It's the American ideal - being served fatty, preserved food right up to your drivers side window! Either way, it's pretty good. They have excellent cherry limeades. We used two coupons, bogof Sonic burger and a bogof Footlong Quarter Pounder Coney. They also have weekday specials where a side order will be  $.99, and this day just happened to be mozzarella sticks! There are a few more coupons for them in the book, so I'll be back.

Kodiak Cakes started as Baker Mills boxes for flap jacks, cakes, waffle mixes. I read the story for the company starting the cakes store in SLC because people were using the flap jack mix and turning them into cookies, and everyone loved it. Cookies were a little overpriced, but good. I also saw this on the website and thought it would be helpful for you bakers out there. From the book, we used 2 of the 3 coupons; bogof cookie and 50% off any baked goods order. For the baked goods order, I got a box set of four cookies - peanut butter chocolate, dark chocolate pumpkin, orange chocolate chip, and cranberry walnut cinnamon cookies. YUM!

Este Pizzeria is a New York style pizzeria with a fun atmosphere and friendly staff. I really liked the entire wall mural of a subway train over a city scape - very cool. They serve Squatters (a local brewing company) beers and tasty pizza. It is kinda expensive, glad to have the 50% off a pizza coupon from the book. We got the Pink Pizza that had yummy ricotta cheese and marinara covered with mozzarella. The toppings were so GOOD. Very tasty!! I loved the New York-ness of the big slices you fold in half and eat. They also have a beautiful little outside eating alley with stringed lights above. Too cold for this visit, but definitely next time we visit.
