In Utah Stories Ted Scheffler investigates Felt (SLC) and wonders if it’s the best bar food in SLC. My two penneth: you’d be hard-pressed to beat the partnership of Rich Romney and Travis Herbert. Here’s my own write-up from earlier in the year. Also, a second reminder for you, November 3rd will see Felt host the second in a series of unmissable popups. A couple of weeks back I was bowled over by the Japanese-informed Sunakku experience. Star to finish, exemplary. Next up is Xolo Masa featuring dishes focused on hand-ground masa as their core. From the bottom of a very experienced belly – don’t miss it.
Scheffler also gets into the specifics on Citizens (SLC), Ombu Korean BBQ (various), RIME (Deer Valley), while rounding up Farmington ramen, take-out Thai, burgers, and several hidden Mexican gems. Also in Utah Stories Heather L. King rounds up a list of several small-town burgers to explore while Bianca Dumas writes about preserving Utah’s fruit highway.
In Salt Lake Magazine, Avrey Evans has a round-up of bar bites you need to check out, and Brad Mee visits the Italian restaurant, Scelto (Sandy). Lydia Martinez takes trips to Casot (SLC), Xiao Bao Bao (SLC), and RIME (Deer Valley).
Alex Springer of the City Weekly has a huge roster of reviews. Ramen Ichizu (SLC), Pork N Roll (Draper), The Other Side Donuts (SLC), Paris Baguette & Tous Les Jours, Copper Common (SLC), The Bruce (SLC), while also crafting this list of dinners for sinners.

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”.
