Ted Scheffler makes a trip to the excellent Kenny J’s BBQ (South Jordan), one of the better ‘Q spots to open in Utah over the past few years. You can read my thoughts on their solid BBQ in this story.
Scheffler also stops in at Gary’s Asian Bistro (Millcreek), and Sunday’s Best (Post District). Also in Utah Stories, Nicole Anderson talks about Ruth’s Diner (SLC), and Bianca Dumas details Price’s Main Street eats.
In the Salt Lake mag, Darby Doyle dishes on new Laurel new chef Christian Ojeda (Downtown SLC), and gets into the details on Oquirrh‘s (Downtown SLC) hangover pasta. Colleague Lydia Martinez similarly geeks out on the crudo at Junah (Central 9th).
Alex Springer of City Weekly gets to grips with the unique Urban Chicken & Gyro (Downtown SLC) while also hitting up PoPIE 1929 (SLC), Central By Saffron (Downtown SLC), and Laurel (Downtown SLC).
Rounding up the month that was, Sean Rinn from Slug heads to Silverside Deli (Sugar House), and Nomad East (SLC), while Valerie Phillips talks about the reopening of the historic The Oaks (Ogden) and Sarah Gambles sits down to eat with Central By Saffron‘s (Downtown SLC) owner Lavanya Mahate.

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”.
