Restaurant Review Roundup – December 2013

It’s definitely too cold out there to go and investigate the dining scene in person. Instead, rely on these 20+ restaurant reviews from local bloggers, from the comfort of your own home. And maybe, just maybe, check out somewhere new to dine when things start to look a little less bleak – hopefully earlier than March 2014!

Stuart Melling

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you!  I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC and The Utah Review; I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune.  I’ve worked extensively with other local publications from Utah Stories through to Salt Lake Magazine and Visit Salt Lake.   I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have covered the Utah dining scene for more than a decade.   I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration  and the use of too many 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”.
