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”
