Ogden's Boba Vending Machine

I’m perpetually on the hunt for new food to try. Here are a few new (to me) places.

Boba Vending Machine

If you make your way to Ogden, more specifically OTECH College, try the automated kiosk (aka boba vending machine) Link Boba Tea. They have flavors like Thai tea and mango.

Publik Kitchen

I’m late to the party, but Publik Kitchen at 9th and 9th is open again after being closed for a rebuild. I’m excited to try their tofu rancheros.

Urban Hill

I haven’t eaten at Urban Hill yet, but they just launched their brunch menu so now I must go. Check out Gastronomic SLC’s glowing review. Honestly, they had me at Cinnamon Toast Crunch bread pudding and lobster salad.
