Callling on all industry workers, I want you!

In the coming weeks a series of guest writers should be interspersing the regular restaurant reviews. From waiters, chefs, managers through to owners. With stories from behind the scenes and on the front lines. I’m already very excited by a number of people who have agreed to write!

If you work in a restaurant here in Utah get in touch! Whether the piece has an element of self promotion or you’d prefer to remain anonymous, it works for me. Servers dishing the dirt on terrible customers, chefs sharing a secret from the kitchen or owners wanting to talk about their retaurant. Id like to here from anyone and everyone.

I can even help compose the article if you need some help. All you need is something to say! To get in touch leave a comment on this post or email me at stuart@gastronomicslc.com.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you!  I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC.  I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City  dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.

I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV.   Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune.    I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand.   What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.

Want to know more? This is why I am the way I am.
