Yesterday's list of the nine best burger joints in Utah elicited some passionate responses from some of you. According to these Utah-burger aficionados, here's who we missed:
The Cotton Bottom — Holladay
Tonyburgers — Salt Lake County
Salt City Burger Co. — Sandy
Morty's Cafe — Logan and St. George
Burger Bar — Roy
I look forward to trying every one of these. Thanks for the recommendations!
Also on our mind:The House could launch an impeachment inquiry into the president as soon as next month, Latter-day Saint universities updated their honor code and who is the greatest athlete in the world right now?
Deer Valley Resort announces partnership that will leverage massive expansion
Utah’s Deer Valley Resort announced plans for a massive expansion on Thursday that it says will more than double its skiable terrain.
The resort operator says its “Expanded Excellence” program is a multiyear effort that will add 3,700 acres of new terrain that will feature 16 new chairlifts, a 10-passenger gondola and ski access to South Peak, Park Peak, Big Dutch, Pioche and Hail Mountains on the east side of Deer Valley’s Bald Mountain (all terrain that was to be part of the under-construction Mayflower Mountain Resort project).
The expansion will take place over a number of seasons, according to Deer Valley, with 2,900 acres serviced by nine chairlifts and 110 ski runs to be open for business as early as the 2025-26 winter season.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox celebrated the news in a Thursday morning tweet, “BIG day for Utah skiing.”

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox didn’t watch the Republican presidential debate Wednesday night but caught enough highlights to have one candidate impress him.
The first-term Republican said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that like most Americans, he had a lot of work to do and didn’t have a couple of hours to watch TV in the evening.
“I did think that actually Nikki Haley really stood out to me,” said Cox, adding he’s partial to GOP governors and former governors who run for president. “I was very impressed with her, with her knowledge and her ability to communicate, her ability to communicate honestly, her ability to take on some really hard topics and do so in what I think was as a respectful manner.”
On the program, Cox, the new chairman of the National Governors Association, also talked about his “disagree better” initiative to combat the “toxic partisanship that has infected our country, that has infected our neighborhoods and, quite frankly, that has infected our families.”
Read what else Cox has recently said about the GOP presidential primary.
