Now in our 24th season, the restaurant enjoys one of the highest Zagat ratings in Utah and was selected as a James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Restaurant in 2022 and 2023.

Jen Castle and Blake Spalding, the chef-owners here at Hell’s Backbone Grill & Farm, were announced as nominees/finalists for best chefs in the Mountain Region by the James Beard Awards for the 2020 season!

Jen & Blake were also semi-finalists for Best Chefs in the Southwest in 2017, 2018, and 2019.


Jen Castle and Blake Spalding are our chef-owners and operate the restaurant following Buddhist principles, with a commitment to sustainability, environmental ethics, and social and community responsibility. We serve organic, locally produced, regionally and seasonally appropriate cuisine, growing many of our own vegetables and fruits in the restaurant’s two gardens and on our six-acre farm. We feature dishes made with fruit from Boulder’s heirloom orchards and rely largely on local ranchers for the grass-fed meat we serve.

Jen & Blake

Over two decades ago, Jen Castle and Blake Spalding had a wild idea: to open up a deeply rooted, ethical, locally based destination restaurant in one of the most remote towns in America.
