One business creates gourmet salads for lunch.
Another delivers late-night meals to hungry college students.
And a third sells star-powered hamburgers and sandwiches.
All three of these new Salt Lake County businesses have one thing in common they operate out of a “virtual” kitchen with no storefront or seating. The only way their customers can get the food is to order online for pickup or delivery.
SLC Salads, Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Kitchen and Late Night Ghost Kitchen at the University of Utah are the latest additions to the takeout trend that began in response to the pandemic but is now part of our regular dining routine.
