Best food in SLC?

I was just exploring and found Somalian food in Aurora. Haven’t tried it yet but I do think it has a lot to do with people not venturing out enough when they proclaim a city’s food scene sucks. Not knocking on the Highlands or downtown establishments, but I think a lot of people (especially foodies like yelp/westward reviewers) tend to not venture much out of certain, walkable, high traffic areas. So if people don’t venture out much and stick with the same old popular spots in downtown Denver/Highlands, it’s not as exciting

People who rag on Denver food are just not trying or exploring at all. My one friend always talks about how great Charleston, sc food is and how much denver food sucks. I’ve lived in both. Surprise: he hasn’t lived in Charleston and last restaurant he mentioned to me from there is a known tourist trap lol

I am jaded by the “Denver food sucks” argument

And the best mexican food is in Rose Park, multiple trucks and establishments that blow Red Iguana out of the water, not that RI isn't good but it gets way too much hype.

that’s like, your opinion, man. Just saying there’s probably a Denver equivalent to just about any top Mexican in SLC, but definitely isn’t an equivalent to Red Iguana.

There's a spot in downtown Denver I found that has italian food that rivals NY/CT spots. It's called tavernetta right in union Station, pretty pricey but one of the best spots I've found of any state. Not disagreeing with ur point but just saying even downtown ur gonna find some incredible food as well
 
I’ve heard tavernetta is good, haven’t tried it. I like to hit Odyssey for $12 meals on Monday.
