Great Ingredients From A Traveling man.....

MARCELLO'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT/CATERING
As i sit With hunger at work dying to find something to eat I was Wondering where I could travel in a short period of time with using as little gas as I could. I found myself the day before driving around looking and only finding A phillips66 gas station ( I Think) and A Subway. So On My way out of my building I see what looks like a van and attached to it is a trailer. I walk over hoping to find something good and i'm not gonna lie I was speed walking I was so hungry. as I approach I am greeted not only by the smell of Italian Chorizo but by a man sporting an Italy Hat with an Accent that would take you back to Sicily 
(Where he is originally from )  even if you have never been there! He said
 "Giuseppe is my name"
  I asked What was on the menu and today he Was serving Italian Chorizo, Homemade Lasagna, Homemade Bread. the menu tends to vary day to day a little with choices like Italian rice and Italian meatballs Giving you amazing taste experience strait from overseas. I chose the lasagna.
 For those who don't know. I have been searching all my life for the perfect lasagna. Today That goal was Not met but did Come close. One thing I did really enjoy was the homemade Alfredo sauce he did coat the lasagna with when serving. I think it gave it a extra creamy and flavorful sauce.

 so along with the lasagna it came with my choice of 2-4 pieces of fresh bread, garden salad, a fruit cup and a drink.(if your lucky you can grab one of the 20 oz bottles that he has for the same price as the cans but they are limited by the day) With a A+ grade of service provided by Giuseppe,A name and accent to always remember I excitingly make my way to find somewhere to enjoy this meal made from fresh hands strait from Italy.
As I start to eat the lasagna the quality is very good. The light coating of Alfredo sauce I feel makes the taste different and and have a lot better flavor. My favorite part was actually using my bread to soak up the marinara/Alfredo mixed sauce. For $6.99 I was full and satisfied! I now have a friend from another part of the world that provides us with great food very conveniently!
Never be afraid to try the Numerous food trucks here in Utah!

An easy Fun Dinner or lunch

Wanting to add some spice and some good steak and bacon flavors I decided to make a simple great tasting sandwich which is easy to duplicate and can be great for the kids or even if your having company with this beautiful weather we are having!
Depending on how many people you will be cooking for you will need some beef. you can buy the good stuff 
to really get the flavor of the beef or you can buy bargain which is the way to go lately. There are different kinds of bacon so depending on your preference you can try different flavors. thick cut maple flavor is a suggested choice.
Season your beef and throw it on the grill if you don't have a grill you can cook it over the stove just cut ahead of time into strips.I Like my Steak with a nice char, most prefer no char though.
Cook your bacon, then after you finish the bacon add some butter in a pan and add the asparagus with some season and fat from the bacon.
Slice some tomato, avocado, onions, and some cilantro.
Depending on what you like you can add any condiments.
Smoked Gouda cheese is preferred for this because of the great smokey taste.
You can use any type of bread or roll. 
Add all your ingredients together and melt the smoked Gouda over the top and enjoy plain or with ranch or cucumber sauce for dipping or drizzle over the top. 
Enjoy All food and try everything!

When we asked my wife what kind of cake she liked she said she was tired of cake and wanted Flan. For those of you who dont know What Flan is it consists of a Tart with a filling of custard fruit or cheese. This dessert is a very good one depending on making it right!
The Location we got our at was 1117 Navajo st in Salt Lake City

This is a decent supermarket where you can find some good items.
I also enjoy other items they make fresh in there bakery and meats at a reasonable price!
This Flan was nicely decorated, well prepared, and satisfied the stomachs of A hungry group of food lovers. 
Check this place out and other hispanic stores for those hidden treats
and fantastic finds that will have your friends and family begging you for the name of the place you got it at.
Enjoy food and all its secrets!
