Stuart Melling
Hi, I'm Stuart, nice to meet you! I'm the founder, writer and wrangler at Utah Now Online, Gastronomic SLC, The Utah Review and many other local online publications.
I'm a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I've worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV shows.
I'm a multiple-award winning journalist and have covered the Utah dining scene for the better part of fifteen years. I'm largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don't understand.
Here on Utah Now Online I cover other news in Utah such as the outdoor lifestyle, local arts and events and business news.
