Restaurant Review #2 — Spitz Mediterranean Food, Park City, Utah

Doner Basket

Spitz Mediterranean — December 29, 2024 — 6622 N Landmark Dr. Ste. B-170. Park City, UT 84098

We’d just come off the mountain after our fourth day in a row of skiing. I was hungry like I hadn’t been hungry in a good while. Doug and the kids wanted to go to a Mexican place we liked, but when it was closed I wasn’t sorry we ended up at my choice. Spitz.

I went for the Doner Basket because it looked like the most jam packed way to get a whole love of real food. It’s a mix of salad and fries (I got both sweet potato and regular) topped with a beef and lamb, tzatziki, feta, pepperoncinis, onion, green pepper, cucumber, tomato, crispy garbanzo, falafel ball, olives, fried pita and hummus.

I’ve already admitted I was very hungry. Never-the-less. Holy smokes.

The lamb and beef were tender and well seasoned. The fries were crunchy and salty. Really hit the spot. I didn’t add the balsamic dressing because there was plenty going on with the feta and hummus. The hummus was very good on its own. I loved the combination of rich gyro meat and bright pepperoncinis. The lettuce was crisp. Which I appreciated extra given it was winter in the mountains. I loved the fried chickpeas. Could have popped those like candies. My one complaint is the falafel ball that was added to the tip top of the bowl. It was a bit mealy and the inside a bit undercooked.

When I asked the kids how they liked it, and if they were still disappointed they didn’t get Mexican, Henry said, “I like them the same. But this place won’t give me diarrhea.”

There you go.

The decorations were really fun. Lots of bright colors and spray painted art on the walls. 

My nickname since childhood is Mermaid, and it was really nice to finally have a bathroom identified for me. It’s the little things.

Nature is powerfully healing. Getting outside is m Nature is powerfully healing. Getting outside is my go to cure all. Lately I’ve been favoring this writing set up. I’ve got my comfy chairs lined up against open French doors. This morning my view is dappled sun and intermittent rain. Fresh air and whispering palms are my muses. I deserve—its’s hard to state that I deserve this, but it’s true—I deserve to make my writing time as romantic and cozy and joyful as my situation allows. I think it’s worth bringing pleasure and beauty into our daily routines. I invite you take a deep breath and ask yourself how you can make one of your jobs more pleasant or lovely today. You deserve it.

Writing tip!! Give your characters items of person Writing tip!! Give your characters items of personal meaning that enhance their backstory. 

This pearl necklace was my grandma Mary Beesley’s. She was a quirky, tough, lovely lady. She taught me lamb is delicious with mint jelly, even if I refuse to eat the fat chunks like she did. I think of her when I wear this necklace. And I also think it’s lucky when I wear it to football games.

These are the kind of details we can give our characters that make them more real and interesting.

I talk a lot about grounding. (Grounding or earthi I talk a lot about grounding. (Grounding or earthing is a therapeutic technique that focuses on realigning your electrical energy by reconnecting to the earth.)

The research about this new and growing, but I’m a huge believer!! Just google it if you don’t believe me. Or better, go swim in the ocean and see how you feel. Forest bathing anyone?! 

Touching and reconnecting with our Mother Earth is healing for body, mind, and spirit.

This Sunday is the September equinox, the first day of autumn and the day when the northern hemisphere starts to spent more time dark 🌙 than light ☀️ .

I’m sending out my newsletter tomorrow with ideas for being more mindful this change of seasons. Link in bio if you want to subscribe.

Happy grounding 🌏 and happy fall 🍁 🍂
