There are those, like me, who say "it's 9:48pm...do you know where your Panda Express is?"

And I'm sitting there in line like a cow waiting for the walnut shrimp and sweet fire chicken and chow mein wondering if I'm ever gonna become someone worth a couple dozen people at my funeral...and I sink my teeth into that chow mein and I'm already dead and in heaven (hell).

But then there are those that call you dumb uncultured swine for not knowing about "real Chinese" food, like the place that's under the laundromat on Tabernacle street or whatever.

And I'm always like, "I'm a man of simple tastes with a 37-inch waste."

And they're like, "do your research."

So according to the Utah cultural zeitgeist freaks, there's a place up in West Valley that is supposed to just bend you over a barrel and teach you about where you went wrong.

It's called Matchstick Bar & Grill.

According to Gastronomic SLC it's the tops.

"I’m not one to bandy around the phrase hidden gem all that often, but based on the convergence of meager coverage, apparent awareness, and excellent cooking – I’d say Matchstick Bar & Grill in West Valley City absolutely fits the bill...

As far as I’m aware Matchstick [matchstickutah.com] is a one-of-a-kind in the valley, the only place you can enjoy shaokao – Chinese BBQ. At least to the massive extent on offer here. There are nearly two dozen choices on the menu, mostly priced at $3.99-$5.99 for a trio or quartet of sticks." (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)

It has 4.5 stars on Google and some great looking menu items.

Have you ever heard of this place? Let me know in the comments.
