You can’t understand a culture until you’ve eaten its foodโthat’s the gastronomic prescription for world peace. Chef Matthew Lake’s Alamexo dispels stereotypes of Mexican cuisine (and therefore culture), presenting that country’s myriad regional and sophisticated foods as a counterbalance to the American cult of the taco. Note: Alamexo also serves tacos.

๐ฝ๐จ AND THE FIRST 3 RESTAURANTS ARE.....โ โ
โ โ
1. @slceatery: A small chefs-run restaurant with unique tableside cart service and inventive entrees combining a local sensibility with Asian influences like Norwegian salmon with summer squash, Frog Bench Farms arugula-pumpkin seed pesto and confit potato. 1017 S Main Street,โ โ
Salt Lake City, UT, 801-355-7952. slceatery.com โ โ
โ โ
2. @tablexrestaurant: Probably the edgiest restaurant in Salt Lake City, the three chefs behind this neo-elegant restaurant seem to be pushing boundaries but everything they do is backed by common sense and good taste. I mean good flavor. House-baked bread, housemade butter and seasonal entrees like smoked corn nage, trout roe vinaigrette and potato succotash. Among others. 1457 E 3350 S, Salt Lake City, UT, 385-528-3712. tablexrestaurant.com ๐ชโ โ
โ โ
3. @oquirrhslc: Drew and Angie Fuller opened the tiny restaurant of their dreams right before the pandemic hit. So the menu, full of originality, creativity and whimsy, hasn't been appreciated fully by Salt Lake City. Go try the milk-braised potatoes, the chicken confit pie and anything else they've concocted since my last visit. You'll love it. 368 E 100 S, Salt Lake City, UT, 801-359-0426. oquirrhslc.com โ โ

โI was attracted to the unique braids. Making challah is a fulfilling, natural and fun way to bake bread. I appreciate cuisine and craft beer and to me, this is a marriage of the two.โ -Britt Jursik โ โ

The March 18th 5.7 magnitude earthquake brought SLC a new challah and babka business, @challahbackdough! ๐ฅโ โ
