Every year the list is different. We don’t do categories, we don’t fill in forms, we don’t count votes. We just pick our brains and everyone else’s for the coolest, newest and unexpected superlatives in the Beehive State. Every year we surprise ourselves and are delighted at the discoveries. You too will be surprised and delighted. And, no doubt, disgruntled. Because we left out one of your favorites. Let us know.
Best Unexpected Dessert, Strawberry Nachos at Last Course – It’s really tough to ruin nachos, but it’s also a challenge to up the ante and create a new type of nacho. Last Course does it with their incredible Strawberry Nachos. Dip white, milk, and dark chocolate “chips” into decadent strawberry “salsa” and officially put nachos in both the savory and sweet columns of your food brain. 835 W. East Promontory, Farmington, 801-410-4708, lastcourse.com
Best Savory Waffle, Honey Chipotle Pastrami at Waffled – The savory waffle is a divisive food, but Waffled, an innocuous booth in the middle of Station Park, can mend the relationships of savory waffle lovers and sweet waffle purists. The Honey Chipotle Pastrami Waffle brings out the dense heartiness of the liege waffle while melding flavors so good you’ll run back for seconds. Believe it. 25 N. East Promontory, Farmington, 801-447-9175, waffledeats.com
