Plum Alley's steamed pork belly bun
Plum Alley
The steamed pork belly bun at Plum Alley is soft
as a down pillow. You’ll want to rest your head on these bundles of flavor, take
them home, cuddle with them—they’re that appealing. Best just to eat them while they’re hot, however,
and consider ordering one with duck confit. 111 E. 300 South, SLC; 801-355-0543, plumalley.com
