Tip your server campaign

Started by local TV-celeb Ty Burrell with a hefty $100K donation, this new fundraiser aimed at putting cash back in out of work servers hands. Here’s the full info from Burrell:

Last week, there were 15,000 people working in Salt Lake City restaurants and bars–neighborhood joints, fast food, fine dining–all gathering places in our community. This week, thousands of them don’t have an income and don’t know when they can go back to work.

They are on the front lines of the economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. The earthquake in Salt Lake City on March 18 was yet another blow. Some establishments don’t know when they can reopen due to structural damage in their buildings.

Thank you for making a gift below. Every dollar donated will go directly to SLC hospitality workers. Make a donation here.

Stuart Melling

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.
