Restaurant review roundup – January 2017

We took a month off from the roundup in December, because lets face it, you’re wallowing in a vat of egg nog and gravy. Or was that just me. Anyway, in with the new and back to what’s hot and not on the SLC restaurant scene.

So without further ado, and just in time for the weekend, here are the latest reviews and coverage of restaurants from bloggers, writers and podcasters around town:

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”.
