Moudi Sbeity & Laziz Kitchen - Salt of Earth: The People and Places of Salt Lake

Having immigrated to Salt Lake from Lebanon at age 18, Moudi Sbeity—co-owner of Laziz Kitchen, farmer’s market mainstay, muhammara master, and out-and-proud “hummus sexual”—is our most recent feature of Salt of the Earth: The People and Places of Salt Lake. Moudi went from making batches of hummus and muhammara for friends, to being a farmer’s market standard, to becoming a brick-and-motor restaurant success loved by everyone from Salt Lake’s LGBTQ tastemakers to the mayor Flavortown Guy Fieri (Guy famously called Moudi and Derek’s business a ‘pop and pop shop’) in just a handful of years.)

Salt Lake's Neighborhoods:
The Great Salt Lake

One of the best ways to experience The Great Salt Lake is to drive across a causeway to Antelope Island, the biggest island in the lake. There you can explore the stark beauty of Antelope Island State Park, with a trail system, picnic spots, and wildlife like buffalo and pronghorn sheep. Take advantage of the miles and miles of mountain biking and hiking trails that zig-zag their way across this exceptional landscape. At times, it feels like a journey to a parallel universe. Spend an entire day, pack a lunch, and hang out on the island's beaches if the bugs aren't out in force. And be sure to pack a camera—you'll want to stay out till sunset and capture the water and sun rays on the rocks and desert grass.
