SALT LAKE MAGAZINE PRESENTS

The Salt Lake Magazine Annual Dining Awards 2010
Salt Lake magazine presented its 12th Annual Dining Awards to Utah restaurants on Tuesday, February 23. Chefs and restaurateurs from throughout the state attended the gala awards event, held at Utah Museum of Fine Arts. A celebration of Utah food and flavors, the evening’s menu was conceived and prepared by Cuisine Unlimited, with wines from Southern Wine & Spirits and Libation. Executive and dining editor Mary Brown Malouf and her panel of judges gave 40 awards to chefs, restaurants and food professionals.

‘This was a very rich year in terms of Utah restaurants said Salt Lake magazine executive and dining editor Mary Brown Malouf. There were so many new and exciting restaurants to consider. The full story of the Dining Awards, with details about the restaurants and chefs, will be the cover story of the March/April issue of Salt Lake magazine, available on newsstands later this week. In honor of the magazine’s 20th anniversary, the article also takes a look at previous winners.
