Hell’s Backbone Grill in tiny Boulder, Utah is a female owned and run restaurant known not only for delicious, seasonal, ever-changing menus, but also for operating according to Buddhist principles. Their ingredients are selected with thought and care from the Grill’s own gardens (where they accept apprentices), six-acre farm, and local producers they know. Sadly hell really does freeze over, as they are only open Spring through Fall. Until then, here’s a taste of what we can look forward to.
