City Weekly
Guy’s Flavortown Kitchen (read) is the muse for this piece by Alex Springer. It’d be easy to gleefully jump all over this one in some faux-foodie horror.

Other write-ups include a quick recap of several sushi burrito (read) joints, a check in with the chicken experts of Lehi’s Zulu Piri Piri Grille (read) and a review of Murray’s new Japanese baker, Conte De Fee (read).

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”.
