Salt Lake City is the state capital and the centre of everything in Utah — Temple Square, the Utah State Capitol, Liberty Park, the University of Utah, and an airport that puts the whole country within a couple of hops. The Wasatch range sits right on the city’s shoulder.
It is also a city with a genuinely good food scene, and one that has become far more international over the last decade. Salt Lake diners already know their arepas from their pupusas, and they notice when something is made properly.
That is the audience we like cooking for.
