UTAH FOOD

 

Utah has some very unique dishes that are surprisingly different than food found in other parts of the United States. Of course you will find the same fast food and chain restaurants in Utah as you will in other states, but there are some distinctly Utah foods that are popular and considered staples in the state. Below you will find great copycat recipes for amazing Utah food to try right now!

Fry Sauce

A mix of mayo and ketchup with a few simple spices and you have the most divine dipping sauce for french fries, burgers, chicken, you get the picture – pretty much anything!

Funeral Potatoes

A potato-based dish in casserole form—the ultimate comfort food—that is usually mixed with cheese and cream of some variety and is served hot at potlucks. The dish gets its name from being widely associated as a dish served after funerals.

Bear Lake Raspberry Shake

A visit to the best beach in Utah can not be complete without a raspberry shake from any number of locations in Garden City or a food truck along the road. I’m still dreaming about my shake from LaBeau’s over 8 years ago, so yeah, they really are that good!

Dirty Soda

Soda shops have popped up all over Utah and serve your favorite carbonated drink spiked with flavored syrups and creams. For instance, a dirty Diet Coke at a popular shop usually has added coconut syrup and a bit of lime juice to your Diet Coke.

Fry Bread

Pretty much exactly like it sounds, fry bread is simply rolled-out dough that is fried in hot oil. It can go by various names in Utah such as Indian Fry Bread, Navajo Fry Bread, Navajo Tacos (served with taco ingredients on top of the fried bread), and Scones. Yes, I realize that the word “scone” means something completely different everywhere else in the world, but in Utah, scones are fry bread.

Rootbeer

When I lived in southern California, I really wanted to make Rootbeer Float Cookies. After hunting through 5 different grocery stores, I finally found root beer concentrate in a speciality restaurant store. While I lived in Utah, I could have a selection of 5 variations of root beer concentrate in one grocery store. Utahans are serious about their root beer!
