Something about the City Cast Salt Lake team, we love eating good in the neighborhood. Here are some of the best bites we’ve had around Salt Lake lately.

“The most shocking thing I ate was this enormous pretzel from Dangerous Pretzel at a Jazz game. It's at least double the size of a regular soft pretzel and comes with its own clutch to keep it upright (with room to spare for a churro). It was warm and bready and not overly salted.” — City Cast Salt Lake executive producer Emily Means

I ordered a cheeky DoorDash the other night from Thai 101, and it literally delivered. The Thai fried rice with crispy chicken perfectly hit the spot for a cozy night in.

Finally got my hands on some JuJu Kimchi at their first pop-up in Salt Lake City, and omg, better than any store-bought kimchi. You can taste the freshness!

A delightful new addition to Salt Lake City’s bakery scene. I brought a box of their pastries to my grandparent-in-law’s house, and while everything was delish, the standout was the basque cheesecake — creamy and decadent!

A great place for a special occasion. I celebrated a friend’s birthday there and enjoyed a lovely chicken picatta, which was perfectly juicy, bright, and briny.

Ordered a bunch of items to share and everything was a hit: hot-and-sour wontons, beef noodle soup, and chicken wings. Still drooling over this meal.

What’s the best thing you’ve eaten recently?
