Restaurant Review Roundup – November 2015

Rye: Shoyu fried chicken

Any day now you’ll be eating over cooked turkey, bags and bags of sugar, bemoaning the resulting tryptophanic coma and probably, having an argument with that one relative you really don’t relate to at all. In the interim, may we suggest a *really* good meal to bolster the soul, and these two dozen reviews from local bloggers to help you pick somewhere great. Featured image courtesy of the SLC Eats review of Rye. Bon appetit.

Stuart Melling

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.
