'I'm so excited to sit down and have a meal' -- Utah restaurants open to eager diners

Angelic Quintana and Alex Olmos were walking in downtown Salt Lake City on Friday and spied something they hadn’t seen for many weeks: Diners eating inside a restaurant.

Bonus that it was at Siegfried’s Delicatessen, one of their favorite lunch spots.

“I’m so excited to sit down and have a meal,” Quintana said. “I’ve missed that.”

The German deli at 20 W. 200 South was one of many Utah eateries that opened on the first day that dine-in service was allowed by state and local state health officials.

From the photos included with the article, it doesn't look like either were famished.

... to the people I saw at a steak restaurant near here a few months ago.

I eat in a restaurant about once every three years, but went to that steakhouse with some siblings as a little celebration.

The high proportion of people that I saw WADDLING in and out of that place was a little disturbing.

"It's like having a last meal on death row, only you might get to do it more than once!" Alex said as he coughed and hacked on the tip.

"I've always had a sense of adventure and am known for being a risk take." Angelic giggled and sputtered with with a big spray of glee.
