| - My phone was dying, I had a five hour delay in Las Vegas back to SLC. I had to choose between a miserable wait near the gate or what the universe summoned as an adventure around the airport to CPK, of all things. I took the latter.
Airport food is terrible and overpriced no matter what angle you take, but as the stray for a couple hours, I just needed to have a few drinks and eat something decent. The dumpy rating didn't turn me away. I figured "no surprises" at a California Pizza Kitchen. I know what to expect, I've been plenty of times before. What was a near empty restaurant with mostly baby boomers rounded up by the bar, turned into something far better than what I was anticipating.
Felipe, my server was a cool dude! Cracking jokes, taking my order, asking where I was headed; it seemed as though everyone around me was having a nice time despite also facing long delays to their desired destination. This is the kind of server I wish was at every half-decent establishment in SLC.
The service made up for the overpriced, yet very small [and classic] BBQ Chicken Pizza. I walked in and was informed whiskey was half-price. I mean, would you resist when having five more hours to go? Could I have changed my ticket to Fireball Land instead of Salt Lake Land?
Jokes aside, I had a pleasant experience and the food was well-above decent! I even got my phone charged while everything was happenin'. Thanks Felipe for the food and drinks and reppin' CPK as every server ought to.
