SLC Greek Festival
Dolmathes, Gyro, Spanakopita: just three of the fabulous items available to sample during this weekend’s Greek festival in downtown SLC. The poplar event is now in its 36th year and entry will cost you a measly $3. The event runs Thursday 8th September through Sunday 11th September 8pm.
A quick browse of www.saltlakegreekfestival.com reveals many more delicious treats than the familiar faces too – Loukaniko anyone – ‘Greek pork sausage flavored with fennel seeds and orange peel’.

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”.
