Hi, my name is Stuart and I like food. Sounds like an introduction to diners anonymous…

From dining in restaurants to cooking at home through to understanding the origins and techniques of various dishes. The whole arena of food is something I am constantly exploring. It’s an endlessly rewarding adventure, I’m well and truly hooked.

I started this site with a clear aim. To become the defacto guide of what’s hot and what’s not here in good old Salt Lake City. Quickly the the scope of the website broadened. Why stop at just restaurant reviews? Hence the gastronomical aspect of the site. I’m going to talk about more than just dining out. And hopefully it won’t just be me talking; along the way I’ll be roping in as many industry types as I can pester, charm and annoy.

As for me. I’m originally born and bred and in the UK. I came to SLC many years ago, got married and liked it so much that I stayed. I found there is a relative dearth of online material regarding dining here. What content there is strikes me as biased or out of date. Sometimes both.

And so Gastronomic Salt Lake City was born. A mix of dining, cooking, culture and well, whatever else seems appropriate. Hope you enjoy.

If you want to get in touch drop me an email to stuart@gastronomicslc.com. I’m always excited to hear from people who read the site. In addition, if you want to write for the site get in touch. I want to build and grow the scope of the site over time. I see the site as a work in progress and hopefully a communal effort over time!
