At 7:30 we walked over to Hell's Backbone Grill for dinner. The place was packed, and we were glad we had a reservation. We were seated and learned that our lovely young waitress was adopted as a baby, grew up in Boulder and was now attending college in Cedar City. As small as Cedar City is, it “at least has a real grocery store”. It sounds as though she loves Boulder but is ready to move on. She was a little self-conscious about the braces on her teeth that had only been installed earlier that day.

We started with a beet salad with local goat cheese and a yummy spicy bean posole with fresh warm bread.

For wine, we settled on an ’08 Wild Thing old vine Zinfandel.
