Utah Restaurant Association

Celebrate the Best of Utah’s Restaurant & Hospitality Community

Nominations https://lnkd.in/gUFpTnZc are officially open for the Utah Restaurant Association Annual Restaurant Industry Awards Gala, held in collaboration with the Utah Restaurant Association Foundation and the Utah ProStart Student Awards.

This special evening celebrates the people who make Utah’s restaurant and hospitality community extraordinary — the chefs, operators, managers, educators, suppliers, and emerging leaders whose dedication shapes the experiences we all share.

What makes these awards truly special is that they are peer-nominated. Members of our industry nominate the colleagues and leaders who inspire excellence every day.

Do you know someone who deserves recognition?

Submit your nomination https://lnkd.in/gUFpTnZc and help us honor the individuals who strengthen Utah’s dining community.
