Posted // 2010-12-25 - If the holiday ham dried out, if the family shunned you because of your new X-rated tattoo, if everyone's drunk and obnoxious at your aunt's house, or if you're just plain sick of the usual Christmas fare and don't feel like cooking, here are my three recommends, all open today and which won't require a reservation:Himalayan Kitchen (order Nepali and Indian dishes off the menu) 360 S. State, Salt Lake City, 801-328-2077
Ganesh (serving south and north Indian dishes, buffet until 3 p.m., dinner 5 to 8 p.m., 777 E. Fort Union Blvd., Midvale, 801-569-3800
Phong Phu Restaurant (lip-smackingly fresh Vietnamese cuisine prepared by a former La-Cai Noodle House chef), 7640 S. State, Midvale, 801-562-5888
Good eating!
