The Flame Broiler

With all of the campus eateries closed, I ventured off to find something new to try. Even with all of the places to try, it's amazing difficult to find a decent place for a meal. With my options running out, I ultimately decided to stop into The Flame Broiler for some fire-grilled goodness. Since there is no indoor seating whatsoever, you're forced to sit outside. This is awesome since your dog can join you, but it's not so good if it starts to rain (which fortunately almost never happens in SD).

After glazing over the prices for a simple bowl of rice, I decided on the combo bowl with chicken, beef, broccoli, and brown rice. The meat and vegetables were well seasoned and I liked that there was a brown rice option as well. It was a very well balanced package for what it was, but ultimately left me hungry for something more filling.

With all of the dining choices in the area, it's still extremely difficult to find something that I would actually want to eat. I'm really getting tired of the big, ubiquitous corporate chains and the boring flavor profiles. Trying to find a reasonably priced meal is also pretty difficult as well. Having small local options like The Flame Broiler is a really nice change to the otherwise boring landscape of chain restaurants serving up the same processed crap. Sometimes you just want something wholesome and flavorful, and The Flame Boiler serves that up in spades.
