For those traveling from Bryce Canyon to Capitol Reef, we must let you in on the best chocolate cake we’ve ever had. Yes, we know that is a huge statement, but seriously.
Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but you have to stop at Griffin’s Grocery in the town of Escalante.
In the back of the store is a small, refrigerated section with salads and sandwiches from Mimi’s Bakery & Deli. Apparently, Mimi’s was a physical bakery with a restaurant that closed during the pandemic. To continue selling their food, they started selling it at the local grocery store.
Though their salads seem a bit pricey for a grocery store, they are seriously restaurant quality. They were so good and filling. Though, the star of the meal was a Flourless Chocolate Torte with Pecans we grabbed for dessert. We’d go back tomorrow and get another if we could.
