URA Hosts 2014 Restaurant Industry Awards
The Utah Restaurant Association (URA) held their Annual Meeting and Awards dinner on Monday, May 12, 2014 celebrating 74 years of representing the restaurant industry in Utah. The awards honor outstanding achievement in the industry.
Restaurant owner Hans Fuegi was honored as the Restauranteur of the Year and received the Golden Spoon Award. Fuegi operates Grub Steak in Park City and has been a “warrior” in the effort to bring about change in Utah’s liquor laws. “Contact your Senator and Representatives,” he encouraged from the mic. “Working together with our elected officials is the only way we can create needed change.”
Also honored was Margo Provost, owner operator of the award winning Log Haven Restaurant. Margo was inducted into the Utah Restaurant Association Hall of Fame. Margo is the first woman to be inducted by the URA and is a pioneer in breaking the ground for women to be recognized for their entrepreneurial skills in the restaurant industry. “The restaurant industry provides us the rare opportunity to not only nurture our employees, and our local industry”, said Ms. Provost, as she accepted her award. “It allows us to nourish people. And that has always been the goal at Log Haven, to nurture and nourish.”

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.
