Jaunted at Sundance: Chaos at the Main Street Restaurants

Between Thursday morning and Thursday night, roughly four bazillion people packed into Park City. Our plan to ride out the crush for dinner tables was to snag a seat at a bar somewhere and quickly make friends with the bartender by talking about snowboarding. Too bad you could hardly get into a restaurant on Main Street let alone cozy up to the staff.

Maybe it was naive of us to think that we'd be able to walk right in to some hot spot after all the LA wannabes got to town. (Sample overheard phone call: "NO! You need to get Spielberg on the phone and talk to HIM.") But we didn't think we'd be hiking all over the place just to grab some grub.

Fortunately, we stumbled across Taste of Saigon in a little shopping mall on lower Main. The place was pretty dead, but we love Vietnamese food, so we thought, Why not? By the time we were finishing up our Bun Thit Bo (it's number 9 on the dinner menu), group after group of famished Sundance types were pouring in.

Now, Taste of Saigon isn't Buddakan and the mini mall atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired. But the food was really good. And, hey, you can actually walk in and get dinner: Imagine that!
