Profile Draft
Twisted Noodle Cafe is the original St. George concept of chef Cameron Payne, who came from a Las Vegas Strip career — Wolfgang Puck at MGM, Spago at Caesars, Postrio at the Venetian — to a Main Street storefront downtown. The format is bowl-driven and globally inspired, with paleo, vegan, and gluten-free options built into the menu rather than retrofitted. Payne's brother Royce has also been involved in the operation. The cafe is a known St. George foodie destination, although the public web carries conflicting status signals worth verifying.
For 435 Alliance, Twisted Noodle is a high-profile chef-owned independent, but the listing should not publish until current operating status is confirmed.
Unresolved Questions
- Critical: Yelp flags as CLOSED; brand site is live. Confirm current status before listing.
- Whether the Payne brothers have folded operations into Positano (entry 44) and closed Twisted Noodle, or whether both run concurrently.
- Operating LLC and Utah filing.
