West Jordan Journal

Help Crown the Best Local Lunch Spot

Jan 15, 2019 01:53PM ● By Justin Adams
Over the next two weeks, The City Journals will be hosting a tournament to determine the best restaurant in the valley. We've selected one restaurant, cafe, diner or taqueria to represent each of the cities that we deliver newspaper to - from Sugar House to Herriman. They will compete in a four-round tournament in which winners will be determined by reader vote on Facebook. We call it, "Lunch Madness."

Before the restaurants are revealed, let us preemptively apologize for not selecting your favorite local restaurant. We're sure that many of you will say, "How could you have picked that restaurant over this other one. It's way better."

When selecting the sixteen restaurants, we wanted to have a diverse selection as opposed to having sixteen burger joints or sixteen barbecues. We deliberately chose a variety of restaurants - everything from Thai fusion and Hawaiian to Mediterranean and more. There's also a wide range in how established these restaurants are. Some have been around for generations. Others were just opened within the last year. 

So without further ado, here are the 16 restaurants that will be battling it out for the Lunch Madness championship. Hopefully you'll know a few of them already that you can help support with your vote. If not, we encourage you to check them out and maybe go try a few this week. Maybe you'll find a new favorite place to grab a quick bite.
