Put down those pots and pans, throw off your whisks, it’s the weekend; and in my world that means letting someone else do the cooking. With that in mind, here’s some inspiration to get you off on the best foot possible – more than 20 reviews and opinions from local writers, bloggers and podcasters.

Featured picture, biscuits and gravy from the SLC Eats review of Sweet Lake Biscuits And Limeade. Try saying that with a mouthful of biscuit.

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.
