  Voted Best Restaurant, Moab & Southeast Utah (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011)

  Are they headed for Salt Lake magazine's Hall of Fame? You bet. The babes in Boulder have won in this category ever since they founded their restaurant, and nothing has ever challenged their Buddhist-style domination. Surprise, surprise. Still, lack of competition has not stuck them in a rut. They have expanded the farm, refined the menu, started raising chickens and still save time for the town's annual ice cream social. Indeed, every season there's something new in the little Eden on Highway 12. You go, girls.

  America’s Top Restaurants (2011 & 2012)

  The "chef-owner's passion elevates" this "special" new Utah-American destination "beyond the spectacular surroundings” of Boulder Mountain, swoon surveyors who claim there's "love in the food"; an ever-changing menu, organic produce straight from the restaurant’s garden and local farms, plus homemade jams and divine desserts all conspire to bring a slice of heaven to Hell’s Backbone.

  Salt Lake Dining Awards

  Green Fork Sustainability Award

  Jen Castle and Blake Spalding started with a vision of sustainability and organically grown food, of a restaurant with a conscience and a business that was also a community. They have succeeded eminently. They started with a garden patch and now farm three acres; they started by buying cage-free eggs and now raise their own chickens. They have become an integral part of their adopted home town, Boulder, and spread the gospel of Utah's good food to the rest of the country, an example for all food-lovers.
