Ted Scheffler, restaurant critic and Dining Editor for the Salt Lake City Weekly, reveals some of Utah’s Best Places to find fresh local fare.
1. One World Everybody Eats
The concept behind One World Everybody Eats is very revolutionary and different. Owner Denise Cerreta to serve organic food, let people choose their own portions, and let them price the portions themselves. The concept began when owner Denise Cerreta in mid 2003 had an ephiphany to serve organic food, let people choose their own portions and let them price those portions themselves.41 S 300 E

4. Caffe Niche
Tara Southward, the owner of Caffe Niche also owns Dexterity Salon, connected to Caffe Niche.
