Where in Utah is Lee today?!…read more I couldn't make up my mind... Burger? Donut? Ice cream? Fortunately, I know a place where I don't have to choose... well, almost! Miller's no longer makes donuts or serves hand-dipped ice cream, but their burgers and thick milkshakes are still worth the ride. Just a short trip north on Highway 89 brought me to Miller's Drive-Thru in Manti. This place was BUSY! The parking lot was filled with local workers grabbing lunch, travelers passing through, and plenty of folks who obviously knew they were in for a great meal. Today's picks: Quarter-Pound Burger Strawberry Milkshake First bite? The burger was hot, fresh, juicy, and dressed just right. Simple, delicious, and exactly what I was hoping for. Then came the strawberry milkshake... thick, creamy, and so good you might need a spoon before you need a straw! Lee's Local Verdict: Worth stopping in Manti? Absolutely! Is there anything better than a great burger and a thick strawberry milkshake? Maybe... the motorcycle ride that gets you there. Fast, friendly service, delicious food, and a full parking lot that tells you everything you need to know. If you're traveling Highway 89 through Manti, be sure to stop at Miller's Drive-Thru. I think you'll be glad you did! Now I'm curious... Where's your favorite place in Central Utah to grab a great burger or an amazing milkshake?

We stayed at Austin's Chuckwagon Motel for a night while exploring Capitol Reef in one of the…read moreretro-Queen rooms above the store. This is a room that isn't advertised in 3rd party sites and has to be booked on the property website only - it's something like 50% cheaper than the rooms in the hotel. The room comes with unlimited tea, coffee, and hot chocolate from the General Store/Cafe. We were a bit confused with how it worked since other customers have to pay for drinks, but the clerk assured us we could go whenever to get drinks (which we did multiple times!) While we checked in too late in the day to eat at the deli and left too early in the morning for Chuckwagon's famous lunch boxes, we did hit it up in the morning for breakfast pastries, which according to the cashier are all baked in house (and why we were attracted to them in the first place). We were having trouble deciding between the Kouign Amann and the Chocolate Croissant, eventually deciding on the former, but the cashier tossed us the latter for free! What great service! Chocolate Croissant (Complementary, normally $6) - This is a gorgeous looking croissant, golden brown with a drizzle of sweet chocolate on top, still soft and gooey thanks to being fresh from the oven. It's baked hard, so croissant shards fly everywhere while eating. I'd say it's baked a tad too long, so while extremely flaky, the interior isn't quite as chewy as I'd like. The lamination does look quite good from what I can tell after having some difficulty slicing through with a plastic knife. As is traditional, two chocolate batons are baked inside. (5/5) Kouign Amann w/ Cream ($6) - Again, this pastry has a really hard bake, so almost the entire thing shatters easily, except for the stellar caramelized sugar layer covering the bottom. It's hardened, sticky, and sweet with a great crunch factor. The interior is actually correct for a Kouign Amann, which is really surprising for a small-town bakery. It's not laminated nearly as much as the croissant, and instead seems to be a nice enriched brioche interior, albeit not particularly airy and soft in texture due to the bake. There's a really tangy and somewhat sweet cream cheese frosting that's piped into the center. I'd actually prefer the pastry without this extra flourish, but beggars can't be choosers! (5/5) Both pastries are more of a 4.5/5 due to the bake, but the ingredients and technique (other than bake) seem to be well thought out. We were not expecting much from these baked goods given that the Chuckwagon Deli isn't exactly a specialty bakery, but in the end we were extremely surprised by the quality. I'll definitely be revisiting if I'm ever in town again.

I was looking forward to the quiche based on what I saw on the Yelp pictures but I guess the menu has changed. They only offer breakfast sandwiches now but it's made to order so we got to choose type of eggs and proteins. It did take a bit a time for them to make it so factor that in when planning your visit. The sandwiches were ~$12 each but were pretty filling so perfect for another day of hiking.

I happened to stumble upon East Texas Donuts on my way to Manti Utah. The big logo above their…read morestorefront caught my eye. Then a friend of mine told me he had heard the donuts were great. So on my way out of town, I decided to stop and pay them a visit. I have to say I was not expecting much after looking at their display case of donuts. However, I was pleasantly surprised how delicious the donuts were that I purchased. They were very, very good.. I'm from Southern California and we have family owned donut shops on almost every corner. I love Southern California donuts. There's something special about them. So I was a little weary of trying donuts from Utah. Anyway, I give East Texas donuts 10 out of 10. I ordered a plain cake donut which sounds boring, but it was delicious to the taste. Every bite had crunchiness to it. I also ordered a glazed cinnamon twist thing. It was so good. I shared it with a friend, but I was kind of upset because I really wanted to eat the whole thing myself. Anyway, I highly recommend East Texas donuts. Donuts that you will not be disappointed with!
