Salt Lake City is the capital and the largest city in Utah. The city offers a variety of cuisine options throughout the districts, including traditional American, Southwestern and even Vietnamese foods. A favorite among the locals, and probably growing popularity elsewhere is what's called "Fry sauce." It sounds messy, but it's a mixture of ketchup, mayonnaise and seasonings, all topped on a pile of fries. It was first created by a fast food joint called Arctic Circle, that is now spread throughout Utah.

The Metropolitan Restaurant; it sounds classy, and from the sounds of the reviews it's received, it owns up to that. They've earned a Fodor's Choice rating for the "inventive cuisine" they serve. The wine list is said the be "excellent" and the food is contemporary, fusing Asian and traditional "regional Rocky Mountain" tastes. Reservations can be made directly on their online site.Affordable Dining
Why not try a bit of Mexican while in Salt Lake? The "lively" Red Iguana serves "traditional Mexican recipes" made by native Mexicans. Prices are low and the meals are filling. It's been claimed that they serve up the best "house-made moles(spicy sauces) and is a local favorite. They are often quite busy, so be prepared for a wait; maybe sit down at the bar and try a margarita or a true Mexican beer.Mahalo Suggests
