The Roundup – April 2018

As ever, there’s no reason to eat poorly if you’re equipped with our monthly edition of the Roundup; a blow by blow listing of the last months write-ups, reviews, podcasts and more surrounding Utah restaurants. Hot right now? Chicken sandwiches, oh so many chicken sandwiches. The rumor mill tells me we aren’t done yet either.

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 Uinta Cutthroat, alliteration and the use of too many big words I don’t understand.  I ate all the pies.
