Editor's Pick of the Week · 2026-10-12
Wood Ash Rye· St. George
Wood Ash Rye's menu tells the story of St. George's settlers, from layered buttermilk biscuits that nod to pioneer kitchens to a Sinaloa-style grilled chicken honoring the area's Mexican heritage. The bar leans on Utah-made spirits. It's a downtown go-to for brunch or a celebration dinner, so book ahead.
What to order:Chef Shon Foster's smoked Utah turkey and the Utah scone with honey butter (per Visit Utah); the pork belly with watermelon when it's in season (per Salt Lake magazine).
