Good place I ate at today - Baja Catina in Park City. First try so I can't put in my favorites yet, but the flautas were incredible. Seemed like a fairly priced place too.

This is usually our go-to Park City place. We feel it's the best value in the area.
 
Agreed Baja Cantina is bomb, great location too. Perfect for after the Alpine slides and then you can hit up a little Chocolate Factory right after.
 
Anybody know if the Idle Isle Cafe is still in business in Brigham City? I used to love that place way back.

Word. I've stayed in that Marriott that's right there a few times too so I have no idea how I had never eaten there before. Anybody remember Texas Red's BBQ? That's the eating spot in Park City I wish were still around. Loved that place.

It might warrant it's own thread but...

Is it possible to get good BBQ in Utah? I think a few decent places have tried to give it a go but demand isn't there so after a while the freshness and quality begin to suffer and then they spiral downward until they give up. Sad.

Why don't Utahns love 'em some authentic BBQ?

For most Utahns Famous Dave's is as close as it gets, and it is passable, I guess. I don't mind their sauce and they have some good deserts. Their brisket is a sin, plain and simple. Sometimes, very rarely, it is done properly. Most often it was obviously cooked for the dinner rush at way too high a temp (for brisket even 25 degrees over temp is too high...need to hold that 225 mark for a good long time). Their ribs are decent.

I do all my bbq at home the old fashioned way, so I don't go to many bbq restaurants, other than the rib cookoff at the Nugget in Reno. That is AWESOME.

This weekend I am smoking an 8 lb bone in pork butt. Making up some nice backwoods vinegar splash and my own version of KC sauce, which you will want to eat with a spoon, and some creamy and vinegary slaw for sammiches. Love pulling that thing apart and eating the hot fresh crispy bark. Next weekend I am doing a 1/2 brisket (about 7 lbs) that I got from a neighbor who raised his own cattle. The steaks we had from it were maybe the best steaks I ever had, especially after dry-aging the whole rib-eye for about a week.

I have heard that Good Woods (Wood?) is pretty, um, good. Haven't been there.

I like dickies barbeque.... though I wish they mashed potatoes and gravy as one of the sides.
 
There is a new bbq place in sugarhouse that smells amazing when you drive by. I really should try it out.
