If you have the munchies or just a major snack attack, we’ve got you covered. Here’s where to satisfy your sweet and salty cravings — from Salt Lake to Ogden — on 4/20 or any day.

The legacy of Crown Burger goes beyond Angie K. (heir to the CB throne) of “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.” It’s been an SLC staple since 1978. Their burgers, fries, and fry sauce always satisfies my cravings.

In the words of Guy Fieri, this curry fried chicken is a flavor bomb. It’s juicy, perfectly crispy, and flavored with their house-blend garam masala.

This convenient grocery store is probably the closest thing we have to a bodega (don’t come for me, New Yorkers). I mean, they’ve got:

✅ (Ingredients to make a) ham and cheese on a roll

✅ Orange drink

✅ Small bag of chips

It’s located in the Gateway and they carry a bunch of local products, too.

If you find yourself in Ogden, La Crepe is doing some really wild things with their milkshakes. Basically, any sweet treat you can think of, they’re stuffing it right on top: Pop-Tarts, an Uncrustable, a whole cinnamon pretzel, a giant rainbow lollipop — you name it.

Yes, they specialize in fruit, but you can get it covered in tajín and chamoy (aka everything good). Gonzalez Fresh Fruit is a food truck located in the parking lot of the C-A-L Ranch store in West Jordan. They also offer elote, tostilocos, and more.
