Kevin and I eat out almost exclusively at the Blue Iguana in downtown SLC. We are passionate about Mexican food and think this is the best in the area.

We understand, however, that popular opinion favors the Red Iguana on W North Temple.

We are not sure how the two restaurants' histories are connected, but they do not currently share ownership or management.

After having not eaten at the Red Iguana in years, we decided to go today to test our bias toward the Blue.

While the food was good, it was not 'food to celebrate'. The crowd was diverse and the service good, but I missed the atmosphere at the Blue Iguana.

I am glad we went- if only to reassure ourselves that we aren't missing Mexican food we can't live without.

Thankfully, this situation isn't like our government where the popular 'red' choice, even when ridiculous, is imposed on everyone. But, this isn't about the Utah State Legislature- I digress.
