Hell's Backbone Grill is a restaurant located in Boulder, Utah near the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument.[1][2] The restaurant serves a style of "Four Corners Cuisine": an updated combination of cowboy classics, Mormon recipes, and traditional Southwestern fare.[3]
Hell's Backbone Grill espouses the values of farm-to-table and local food.[4] The restaurant is supplied by the Hell's Backbone Farm, an organic farm which provides over 20,000 pounds of produce annually; other ingredients are obtained locally.[5]
Despite the remote location, Hell's Backbone Grill has been Zagat rated, receiving a score of 26 for food.[6]
It has received press coverage for both its improbable success and its owners' outspoken opposition to the shrinking of the Grand Staircase National Monument.[7]
In 2020, the James Beard Foundation nominated Hell's Backbone for Best Chef in the Mountain region.[8] The Foundation recognized the restaurant again in March 2022 with their most prestigious nomination to date. Their selection in the Outstanding Restaurant category was a first for any Utah restaurant in the history of the awards. [9]
