We're all going to enjoy watching the door hit 2020's ass on the way out. Especially as we head into the holiday season, we ask you to support them financially to the extent that you are able to do so, making sure that come this time next year, we're still celebrating them as the Best of Utah. ![]() For many of you, those picks will simply be a reminder of the great stuff you already know for others, we hope it's a chance to discover something new and wonderful to add to your experience of living in Utah. Inside these pages, you'll find over 300 selections of the best restaurants, nightspots, arts organizations, shops, services and individuals, with 150 of those selections representing our readers' picks for Utah's best. ![]() And the fact that readers voted by the thousands in this difficult time shows that you support them, too.

Between a global pandemic, the economic damage caused by it, social unrest to address institutional racism and, oh yeah, the ongoing threat of a fascist takeover of the American government, it's understandable if your mood hasn't exactly been celebratory.
