People ask me how I find the good eats in Salt Lake. Well, it all started when I got really bored of dining in the same old chains with hour-long waits for frozen food shipped and defrosted, loaded with not so healthy preservatives and who knows what else (not that I can't enjoy the classic Olive Garden salad every now and then). I noticed what a better experience it was to eat at the yummy dives like Red Iguana or Ruth's and wanted to find more of these options.
But I don't live in the city where I might stumble across good food easily, so I actually have to do some research to find the hidden gems. Now it's a hobby; finding good food in charming little local places run by imaginative people who've put their heart and soul into the restaurant of their dreams. I know I over-romanticizing it a bit, and not many places are this special, but Gloria's Little Italy is one that is!
A few more: Eggs in the City, Cafe Med, and Flour Girls and Dough Boys.
This issue: Salt Lake Magazine: 100 Utah Foods has been an indispensable guide to my good food hunting. Hope you'll use it too, and share your good food finds with me!
