It's monsoon season and flash flooding has been happening all over Utah! The flooding has reached Southern Utah now, and Zion National Park is EXTREMELY dangerous! According to the incredible Facebook group, "Southern Utah Emergency Responses and Incidents", Group Admin, Erin Stubbs Tapia, has reported the dangers happening.

"More calls in Zion for flash flooding and people are trapped. I did hear in Narrows and not sure the other location-
Also a brush fire - Emergency crews are en route."

Other comments in the group have shown that news crews have been warning of the potential of flash flooding all weekend. STAY AWAY from the area! People have also reported that groups of people have been surrounding the La Verkin Bridge, as they're witnessing the water levels rise.

Utah is such an incredible place to live. People from all over the country are flocking to Utah for the beautiful landscapes, amazing economy, great weather, and lack of government interference. Utah is also a FOODIE'S DREAM! We have some amazing food here in Utah. Especially in Southern Utah, there has been new restaurants opening right and left. But there's one restaurant that has been rumored to be coming that has been named the LEAST TRUSTED restaurant chain in the United States.

Panera Bread named among 'Least Trusted' Restaurant Chains in America.

20% of Americans surveyed said that Panera Bread is their least trusted restaurant brand.

But will Panera Bread be coming to Southern Utah? Sources have said yes, and the Washington City Map shows them coming to Washington City next to the new Maverik off Green Spring Drive.

I asked people to rank Panera Bread on a scale of 1-10 on what their thoughts were on Panera Bread. Many people said they loved Panera, while many others said they weren't impressed! I've never had Panera Bread before, but I ABSOLUTELY will be trying it!

Also making the list are two restaurant chains that have been in Utah and Southern Utah for years.

St. George used to have two sonic locations, we've been whittled down to one, and Cedar City's Sonic is no-more. Back in the day the Sonic employees would be on roller-skates, and they'd deliver your food to you while trying not to break their leg on skates. It was truly a time to be alive.

Chipotle:

I've tried Chipotle only once YEARS AGO and I was not impressed. Mostly because I'm used to Durango's, Cafe Rio, and Costa Vida. Those three restaurants send your burrito into the cooker, while Chipotle wraps your burrito and hands it over to you! Maybe it's time I give them another shot.

The study was judged on the following criteria:

  • Delivers on promises.
  • Asks for honest reviews and feedback.
  • Pricing transparency.
  • Builds relationships with consumers.
  • Consistent performance.
  • Listens to and acts on feedback.
  • Employee treatment transparency.
  • Provides behind-the-scenes info about processes.
  • Easy to use website.
  • Pays employees well.

The survey also names Pizza Hut, KFC, and McDonalds the MOST TRUSTWORTHY chains in America.
