Best of Area Dining / This Week In Park City
We received twice as many votes this year compared to last and those votes came from both locals and visitors, some from as far away as Australia and lots more from the Heber/Midway area. The results in some categories are the same as last year and some are a bit different. lt's all about personal taste and while you might consider some winners surprising, we did not alter any votes. Otherwise, here they are, in alphabetical order (mostly). Note: All quoted comments are from the voters.
Best Appetizers
350 Main & Butchers (a tie with many other restaurants just one vote behind.
