If you’ve google searched a menu for a restaurant in Utah, you likely can thank Stuart for the results! Stuart is the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. He’s a multiple-award winning journalist and has written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years. He’s worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, and helping to consult on national TV.

Pause those credits, yep, that's Stuart! He’s also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. He appears largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don't understand. What they're saying about Stuart: "Not inaccurate", "I thought he was older", "I don’t share his feelings". If you ever need to know where to eat, Gastronomic SLC is the ultimate resource! He started SLC Menu as somewhere to house all the hard-to-find menus he picked up during hid food writing travels. Through the archives you can find menus from the last fifteen years of the Salt Lake City dining scene.

Mikey and Sam have been concocting more than just Hurricane's and Perfect Storm's. These guys have been working hard, and planning something special to bring to the community.

They took residence over a heartbreakingly closed 'The Ruin' bar which was called 'Mutiny on Main'. Sam and Mikey know how to bring tricks, atmosphere, and presentation to your glass. They most certainly brought it to our show.

Fill one up. Sip it down, and enjoy another 'Lets Go Eat and Drink Show!'

This month we step into a historically significant space where stories, place, and presence come together. Another iteration of Salt Lake City’s new monthly live podcast and boozy book club series—gathering writers, readers, and thinkers for intimate afternoons of conversation and connection.

We’re re-launching the podcast series into this new space by discussing the literary work of American writer, educator, conservationist, and activist, Terry Tempest Williams, one of Utah’s most powerful literary voices, at the historic Clubhouse on South Temple—originally home to the Ladies Literary Club.

Guests enjoy a guided wine tasting paired for each book/author presented by Jim Santangelo, Sommelier and steward of The Wine Academy of Utah, (optional + non-alcoholic libations included), with on-site books available for purchase curated by Ken Sanders Rare Books.

Next month come early, grab a glass, and take your seat for a memorable experience rooted in story, spirit, and the landscape we call home.

From the X96 webpage, “Nick Davis is the ‘newest’ member of the X96 family. He was born and raised in Utah and is currently a student at the University of Utah. His passions include listening to music and going to concerts, so working for X96 is a perfect fit. He started out as an intern for the Radio From Hell show and wouldn’t leave the building.”

Nick is considered X96’s market tested bad boy, with a streak for taking photos with people in panda costumes. Is he considered tumultuous? No, instead, that’s his alter-ego Dick Navis.

Worrisome mustache mania continues to plague the mind of Nick, at least from my perspective. Residing in the SLC valley, he works hard for his dog biscuit, his wife, and hopes the construction stops soon so maybe he can get some sleep.

Mike Marron has been fermenting since he was 10 year old, and no. We don't mean he's been sitting in it. He's been gloriously intrigued by the process of fermenting grapes, and planted pinot noir grapes behind his childhood home in 1977 — which he still uses to make wine.

He has brought his professional intrigue of winemaking to La Caille in 2015. La Caille, the iconic restaurant which sits on 20 acres at the mouth of Cottonwood Canyon in Sandy, has found its stride with farm-to-table food and a re-established wine label.

Mike has been making wine from Salt Lake Valley Grapes since he was 19 years old, his expertise has brought Chateau La Caille to a new level of excellence. In 2012, La Caille re-opened under the ownership of Kevin Gates, who spent $1.5 million restoring the chateau and the grounds.

Ken Sanders is an American antiquarian bookseller who is also well known for his pursuit of book thieves. We are lucky enough to get to interview him, and join him alongside 'Literary Libations'.

He founded Ken Sanders Rare Books in 1997 and Dream Garden Press in 1980. In 1982 he was a founding member of the Fund for Wild Nature (then the Earth First! Foundation), which provides grants for the protection of biodiversity and wilderness. He is a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America and served on its Board of Governors for six years.

Because we couldn't get enough of him, we decided to sit him down with some smoky whisky, and get to know the man behind the books!
