Frida Bistro – Finally, save the date – Saturday April 18 (5-10 p.m.) – for something special at one of SLC’s best Mexican restaurants. Owner Jorge Fierro is hosting a very special fundraiser for the Utah Tibetan Community Center in the Frida Bistro/Rico Brand Warehouse.
Admission is $150 per person and guests will be treated to a unique Tibetan and Mexican fusion dinner – with all proceeds to be donated to the Utah Tibetan Community Center. More information to follow on an intriguing sounding menu as we have it.

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.
