We at Salt Lake magazine need no convincing of Utah’s bestness. We’ve made it our business to celebrate the people, places, flavors, and local color that have made it one of the top places to live in the nation.
So, while preparing this year’s Best of the Beehive issue, we thought it high time to volley the question back to the people who know Utah best — you, the readers. Over the course of several months, voters nominated their favorite, well, everything: French fries to pet groomers, concert venues to donuts, thrift shops to wine bars. The thousands of nominations reaffirmed our long-held belief that there is no better place to call home than Utah. Read on for all winners and finalists from the Arts & Entertainment category.
