Have you been to Utah's very own Chinatown? 🏮 We joined Yelp Utah earlier last month at Chinatown Supermarket for a Chinatown Sprawl where we showed off the Magnify Utah Community Quest! Our passport is filled with flavors and tastes across the world and Yelp Elites got a chance to do a taste testing of flavors from across our Asian community and pick up passports of their own.

😋 Want to do your own taste testing? Grab a passport at multicultural.utah.gov/magnify and find your next favorite place.

Beginning in the 1840s, Utah pioneers – largely of European descent – moved west seeking religious freedom. Their European ancestry is still reflected today in the art, early clothing styles, and architecture of the time. Pioneers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built communities across the region based on their shared faith.
