The spread
There are two Utah food bloggers lurking in the blogosphere. And over the weekend, we joined forces over some delicious Thai cuisine and discussed all things blog. One of us thought, "wouldn't it be fun if we posted the same photos and gave clues about the other and have folks figure out who the two Utah bloggers are?"
Indeed. So here's the first clue—the photo. A gem of a restaurant, Thai Garden was the setting for the First Utah Food Blogger Convention. On the menu, red curry with chicken, mushroom and shrimp studded tom yam, and salmon larb (deep fried salmon topped with red onions, cilantro, and spices). Plus, lots of good conversation.
Salmon Larb inspiration
A few other clues:
*Both our blog names consist of two words.
*Both blogs mention Utah in their tagline or synopsis.
*If it weren't for our tech-savvy brother and friends, we wouldn't have such cool banners.
*One is just starting out, while the other is a couple years strong.
*Both blogs link to each other.
So who's my lone Utah partner?
Does it begin with a K? :)

I couldn't find you via Google or Blogger, so I went to you and Kalyn's "liaison's" (Lisa) blog and picked you out of her blogroll -- first guess was right!

Ahh this is such a cool idea!! I only wish I had a fellow food blogger nearby..I would love to have someone close by to share my food & blogging adventures with that actually understands the addiction/obsession.
Can't wait to read more about this lovely new partnership!
btw good luck with those boiled cookies..can't wait to hear how you like them =)

Wow, you two must've had lots of fun. I love thai food too. I came to search for you earlier on in the day but was too eager to post on Kalyn's and left in a hurry. Sorry. Now that i'm back, just realised from reading the lists of your previous posts that i have actually been here before. How funny! I actually enjoyed then, reading about your salmon experiment.

I do happen to know who the other food blogger is. I've eaten in the very same restaurant with her. She's my wonderful sister. Now I'm glad I've discovered your blog. Nice work.
