This is your intermittent reminder that the current ad-free experience needs your support to continue for another year. Those persnickety third-party ads vanished in March 2024, and hopefully, you’ve been enjoying the much-improved reading experience ever since.
Should you wish to pop a few dollars into the “Oh please god don’t bring those awful ads back” fund – the cost is five dollars per month. You can subscribe and support the site via the following Patreon page:

Think of it as chipping in to the funds for my cholesterol meds 😉
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.

Thanks for your support, I truly appreciate it, it makes all the difference 🙂
The sandwich is the Rico from Enrico’s Deli in West Jordan. I wrote about it specifically in this one:

Though it’s been a while since I’ve tried it myself. There’s also a larger look at the restaurant here:
