Restaurant review roundup – January 2017

Balsamic braised short ribs with tarragon demi-sauce from SLC eats review of Desert Edge Pub

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.  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.
