It Was About Time

Back in 1972, while on our honeymoon, Kris and I made a Monday-night pilgrimage to Maddox, just south of Brigham City. I had eaten there as a youngster and was anxious for Kris to try their "viand rouge." Maddox is known for raising their own tasty beef and we were both excited for a delicious meal.

Oh snap! Much to our chagrin, they were closed on Mondays and after driving all that way, we had to settle for a crumby dinner at Sizzler in Ogden. We never made it back -- until tonight.

This fall Debra Sue stopped at Maddox while traveling to Logan with Alison. She was extremely thoughtful and sent us a Maddox gift card. Tonight we drove to Brigham City and finally redeemed the card. It was a lovely evening and the food was worth the wait.

Thanks Deb!

Off on an adventure

It was open!

Mmmmm, red meat

Chicken-fried steak

The sunset over Willard Bay was spectacular

And the Box Elder Tabernacle was beautiful

It was great to finally get to complete our honeymoon adventure and we had a wonderful evening. More later.

OXO

I remember Maddox from years ago. It was one my folks favorite places. Didn't know it was still there.

I went to Maddox after going bungee jumping with a bunch of rowdies way back when I lived on
9th East. It was yummy! Now maybe I'll drag John up there, but we'll probably skip the bungee jumping.
