I agree and willingly admit that I am a cheapskate, though I prefer the term "not frivolous". If a steak is going to cost me close to $100, it better feed my family well, ya know?

Ask TripleD about the Taqueria around the corner from my house.Comment

There are several restaurants that I would consider very good.
The Bombay House or the Himalayan Kitchen are both very good indian food. Good spices, good texture and mix of high quality foods. Now, neither are very expensive so if you are looking for high end price, these are not the places to go. But for $15-20, it provides food that could expect to be more expensive.
Faustinas is actually a very nice Italian restaurant just on the edge of downtown SLC. Good variety and a more modern dining experience. Cafe Molise would also fit in to this mode of very good italian for SLC.
Five Alls is also a fabulous french restaurant. It has struggled a bit in the last couple of years but at its peak, very good.
With all that said, SLC has a long ways to go to compete with any large city, but for what it is and what it has, it is not bad.Comment

I've only eaten at Faustina once, but I remember it being good. I also like Em's on Capitol Hill."It's devastating, because we lost to a team that's not even in the Pac-12. To lose to Utah State is horrible." - John White IVComment

all you namby pambys make me sick... Yes SLC does not have the upscale cuisine that chicago, new york or LA have. That is obvious. But when it comes to dives there are plenty.
Suks diner - great breakfast
Cotton Bottom - Awesome burgers
Al Fornos - Great italian

I think this thread keeps getting off track.
SU's original question was not whether you could find good food in SLC. Also, in my response to him, I stated that you can definitely get good food in Utah.
The question was whether there was a haute equivalent in SLC. The answer to that still seems to be no, as most of the examples of good eats that people are citing consist of middle-tier local food.
I don't think anyone was ever saying that everything you eat in Utah is unappealing.
Some of these suggestions sound very interesting and I am definitely up for checking them out. I will be in Utah in December for about 7 or 8 days. I will need to eat something while I'm there.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
