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.

Hi Stuart,
Totally unrelated to this post – but do you know anything about the old garage building on the Northwest corner of Liberty Park is going to be? It’s right next to Beltex Meats. The sign says “Tradition” but I haven’t been able to find any other info on it.
Must admit I am drawing a blank on that one Annie. Does it look like it might be a food related business? If so I wonder if the Beltex guys know…
It’s a new American restaurant opened by some folks who own another restaurant in Boulder, UT (no, not THAT restaurant, sadly!). Will be serving lunch and dinner and brunch on the weekends. Should be open very soon.
Excellent, I knew you would know Stephen!
