Feast Of The Five Senses 2018

Marking it’s 14th year in 2018 is Slow Food Utah’s big bash of all things local. On October 21st the culinary smorgasbord returns, taking place at a brand new venue, specifically the Salt Lake City Masonic Temple; yep SLC’s prime example of Egyptian revival architecture on South Temple will be the intriguing 2018 host location.

As ever the event kicks of at 5.30 p.m. sharp with a range of passed appetizers and snacks, ably supported of course by selections from wine expert Francis Fecteau; there’s usually something sparkling to get the mood going… During the social be sure to check out the silent auction, stacked to the ceiling with great local products. After that dinner starts proper with a seated multi-course meal, each course again paired with selections by Libation’s Fecteau.

During the evening you’ll also get to hear from recipients of Slow Food Utah’s micro-grant program, which the event supports; as well as cheering on winners Slow Food Utah’s Snail Awards – recognition of individuals and business making positive marks on the local food scene.

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”.
