7 Foods Every Utahn Craves When They Leave Utah

As Utahians, we love food. And while some items may seem a little peculiar to our out-of-state guests (like our love of Jell-O), that doesn’t mean our food isn’t the best. In fact, there are foods we constantly crave whenever we’re out of state, and to prove our point, here are seven foods Utahans crave.

Sure, other states have bakeries where you can find delicious cookies, but here in Utah, you can find gourmet cookie shops just about anywhere you go. In fact, if you visit Utah County, you can find cookie and dessert shops on every street. We love cookies here.

Yutan is crazy about fried sauce. We’re proud of the fact that this condiment was invented in Utah, not just because it’s delicious.

Utah scones—there’s really no such thing. You can find it in other states, but ours is unique. Plus, honey butter, jelly, or even beans and meat are delicious.

Here in Utah, the pastrami burger is a fairly common menu item, but out of the state it can look weird when you order it. You can find these burgers on menus at burger joints across the state, but Crown Burger’s pastrami burger is one of the best.

There’s a reason Maddox Ranch House in northern Utah is always busy. Everything on the menu is delicious, but don’t be surprised if you crave chicken fried steak, turkey steak, or even rolls and butter from this restaurant.

There are soda shops on every corner of almost every town and big city in Yutah. Here you can buy your favorite sodas in all kinds of flavors and mix-ins. Convenience and a wealth of options are one of the things you don’t miss when you’re away from Utah.
