Although we love to celebrate our successes as a team it always seems difficult to get the time out of busy schedules with clients to actually do it. One of our favorite team activities has been to go trap shooting together. Anything where we get to compete, give each other a hard time and be [...]

Every once in a while we have a Team Lunch and all go out to eat together (usually on a Friday). Here are photos from a recent excursion.

As promised, here’s a review of the new Jimmy John’s on Broadway in our lovely downtown heart of Salt Lake City. With a tagline of Gourmet Sandwiches, you might expect something fancy, yet the disclaimer on the menu explains–in a friendly and humorous tone–that he only used the word ‘Gourmet’ on his mother’s recommendation and [...]

Upon first reading the menu, I perked up when I read descriptions of gruyere, brie and arugula.  I ordered a turkey and cranberry sanwhich which was served with a side salad of [...]

We have many favorites, here at ThoughtLab, and are lucky enough to work in downtown Salt Lake City, where there are dozens of restaurants within a convenient walking distance.  Often after a new employee starts at ThoughtLab, we give a rundown of where to go and what to order.  Here is a first tip.
