Best of the City

I'm back! After a month long sabbatical here I am. My break has mainly been due to the fact I've been insanely busy and haven't really had the blog up too high on my priority list. It's been either sleep or blog, I chose the former. My apologizes to my readers.... all three of you.


Anywho this year's Best of Utah came out in City Weekly, a magazine which is mostly (or fully) catered to wannabes and hipsters alike in the Salt Lake Valley. I wouldn't say it's responsible journalism, or that it represents any opinions other than that of the far left, but it is occasionally entertaining. I especially enjoy reading this particular issue while pretending to watch my kids at the park.


This year I disagree more than I agree with their findings. So I created my own "Best Of" list for local restaurants, and entertainment. Let the games begin.
