Pictured above, and on the menu today, a rendition of the current work in progress topped with vegan chili, avocado, kale and fried shallots; this burger would probably make a decent dent in carnivorous appetites too!

“Zest is all about recognizing the connection between plate, planet and people and it’s amazing to see how the community has embraced that spirit,” said Zest Owner Casey Staker. “As I reflect on the past four years I have to start with a huge thanks to my staff, chefs, DJ friends, and most importantly, our customers for your unwavering support since we opened.”
Staker is taking the opportunity to reminisce and toast to Zest’s history. Zest opened in 2012 as a bar that also featured healthy food. As time progressed, the food made such an impact that Zest switched focus from nightclub to restaurant. These stays, Zest is a mainstay of the downtown dining scene. Staker continues to make environmental sustainability a cornerstone of the business by buying plant based products, natural cleaning products and looking for creative ways to reduce Zest’s carbon footprint.

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”.
