Taste Of The Wasatch 2015 – Finca serving a majestic paella

Taste Of The Wasatch 2016 – Tickets are still available for this Sunday’s Taste Of The Wasatch, arguably the highlight of the summer food festival circuit.

If you don’t have tickets, as ever, I implore you to go ahead and plump down your cash. It’s a four hour extravaganza of food, beer and wine, and a total blast; it’s just a bonus you get to feel all philanthropical with your hard earned cash going to support local charities. Later this week, our sister site The Utah Review will also be exclusively previewing the whole menu for the event, every last dish. Go signup to their mailing list if you haven’t already done so.

Also, predicted temperatures for Solitude Mountain Resort this Sunday? A mere 70 degrees! See a theme here?

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.
