Cowboy Grub – Always sad news when a long standing business closes, and this multi year staple recently announced that very thing on Facebook:
“Cowboy Grub has been a substantial part of our lives for the last 35 + years. We both worked for Chris’s father in our younger years, before buying it from him more than 25 years ago when we married. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of owning Cowboy Grub has been getting to know so many young people over the years. We have enjoyed the part we’ve been able to play in young lives as the “first job,” or the job where many of them have earned money for missions, college, and major life experiences. Cowboy Grub has also been the place where many of our employees have formed lasting friendships and even met future spouses.
Furthermore, our patrons have always felt more like family to us. Being blessed to be in business for as long as we have, we’ve been provided with the opportunity to literally watch your families grow. We love that we’ve been the gathering place for birthdays, graduations, missionary farewell lunches and homecoming dinners, wedding breakfasts, baby showers and funeral wakes. The best part of our job is knowing these fine details – the small things in life that change our interaction from proprietor/patron to one of friends and family.
These relationships are the source of our deepest regret in our decision to close Cowboy Grub…”. Read more on the post.

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.
