Surprise, surprise
This morning, Pastor Shane (the lead pastor for our church plant in Heber) called to see if we could do lunch. I said “sure,’ and asked him where to eat. He said “Let’s go tho the cafeteria at the new hospital in Park City.” My first reaction was “uhmmm……sure.” Who plans a lunch at a hospital. But he told me that he had visited a patient the prior week, and on a whim went to grab a bite. He said that the food was really good and very affordable. So I went with it and we met at 11:30.
My reaction? The place, called the Silver King Cafe, was incredible. Not by any means your typical hospital cuisine. But, hey this is Park City. The menu consisted of woodfired pizzas, homemade soup, very hip salads, and made to order sandwiches. All chef quality. But what really blew me away were the prices. I had a marinated flank steak sandwich and fries for under $5. A bowl of soup? $1.25. Albacore tuna wrap was $3.50. The chef seasoned my steak, grilled it over an open flame and served it up hot.
We sat down in the seating area and if someone had brought me in blindfolded I would have never guessed I was in a hospital!
My only fear is that the word is going to get out that one of the best places to grab lunch in PC is at the Intermountain Hospital, and then it will get way too crowded and the prices will shoot up.
