Station 22
Sad about the disappearance of Angels of Philly? With one bite of any sandwich at Station 22, its replacement, will have you forgetting about the recently deceased cheese steak joint.
At 22 West Center, Station 22′s goal is to provide the professionals who work in downtown Provo with a quality place for healthy ingredients and good food.
Its owner, Richard Gregory, strives to use only the most high-quality ingredients to create food that not only tastes good, but is also supplying your body with real fuel that will be good for you in the long run.
As if that wasn’t enough, Station 22 also strives to use local and sustainable profit when they can. They know that one of the hardest industries to be in right now is anything small and local.
With no bailouts to make up for a recessed economy, local businesses like Station 22 are trying to support each other by using products that support the businesses around them.
This also helps ensure that your food is fresher, since it’s closer to the source, and it cuts down on emissions into the atmosphere that would have been caused by the transport of ingredients and goods that come from all over the globe.
Gregory ways that “we source our bread locally and plan to source local produce as soon as we can. Most of our dishware is made from recycled sources and/or is compostable.”
You feel that local, earthy aura as soon as you step in the doors with the walls covered in local art.
But the aesthetic and theory behind Station 22 isn’t the only thing that makes it great. The food is also phenomenal.
I got the Adventist which is a Ratatouille-inspired veggie sandwich. With layered roasted seasonal veggies with roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions, and red peppers all on a ciabatta roll, there was nothing left to be wanted.
If you’re looking for something a little more substantial, my husband got the Mighty Meatloaf sandwich which had bacon-wrapped meatloaf topped with sharp cheddar cheese, housemade ketchup and fresh lettuce & tomato.
Needless to say, we both came home happy.
