On the Best Gluten-Free Bread

“Best gluten-free bread in SLC, hands down, is Avenues Bakery! I’m not even a GF person, but I still go there for their rolls and breads. Amazing!” — Ben W.

On the Best Restaurants

“Inside Granato’s Gourmet Market is an Italian restaurant with family-priced food. Try the lasagna (his grandmother's recipe). Everything is divine. Also, try Gary's Asian Bistro in Olympus Hills Shopping Center.” — Douglas B.

“We noticed Contento Cafe on West Temple recently when we were enjoying the South Salt Lake Mural Fest and tried it out Friday. Cute, great vibe, tasty, and excellent friendly service — I highly recommend it.” — Julie J.

“Eat here: Huckleberry Grill.” — Wendy O.
