Love the site! Loaded with TONS of great info! This was a very fun poll. Is it possible to see the results of the “Other” votes? It would be interesting to see a line-list of the “others” .
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for voting! Yes, you can see the “other” votes — although not immediately. “Other” votes are treated as nominations and our staff reviews them and adds them to the list of choices.

The Bohemian Brewery has the best Food in the state every thing is made from scratch and from real ingredients not that canned crap you find in most restaurants and definitely the greatest Micro Brew any where, for you folk that are not familiar with them they are the only Brewery that actually cans their beer in the state of Utah!
I can’t believe you included chains like Walmart, Olive Garden, IHOP, etc.that funnel money off of the state on this list. I’m surprised you didn’t include McDonalds in the breakfast category.
Thanks for the comment, Deb. All of the chains mentioned in each category were nominated by readers. The Now Utah staff launched the ballots with local businesses only.
