Steve Jones started his career in the hospitality field at the age of 14 working clam bakes at the Rod & Gun Club in his home town of Groton, New York.  He fell in love with the combination of people, food, and fun and creating pleasurable dining experiences became his career.
 
Steve became a partner manager with Golden Corral in 1984.  He partnered in the Nampa, Idaho and Logan, Utah Golden Corrals.  He became an area supervisor in 1988 and supervised most of the Utah market and parts of Nevada.  Vernal, Utah was one of the stores he supervised.
 
Tired of excessive travel and absences from his family, Steve accepted an offer from Golden Corral to franchise the Vernal location.  November 8, 1990 Steve relocated his family of 5 to Vernal and began his ownership of this location.  He purchased a second location in Riverton, Wyoming in 1993.  Steve converted the Historic home on 200 South and Vernal Avenue into a restaurant and operated it as Curry Manor until 2002 when he sold it.  Offsite catering was added soon after arriving in Vernal and continues to be a significant service opportunity.
 
Steve, his family and staff operated Woodfire Grill after the Golden Corral franchise expired.  They operated a Quiznos franchise for seven years.  Get Glazed Donuts started 2016.  Get Grilled replaced Quiznos in 2018. 
 
Get Glazed and Get Grilled were moved to the Woodfire Grill location in 2020 when COVID19 forced the closure of buffet style restaurants and operates as Glazed and Grilled today. 
 
Very active in the community, Steve supports and is involved in many activities and events. He and his staff are regularly present to provide food for wild fire fighters, power plant outages and other catastrophic events.   He assists many charity fund raising event such as 3K & 5 K runs sponsored by addiction recovery groups, sponsors holes at various charitable Golf Tournaments, and supports youth activities such as football, baseball and soccer.  He often provides work opportunities for those in need.  Active in his church, he has served in many leadership position, supported scouting, young men and young women.  He and his staff donate their time frequently for charitable events. His hot air balloon has been source of respite for many.
 
The Public Relations Committee of the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce is very pleased to present Steve Jones the Quarterly Outstanding Public Service Award.  We are grateful for his continued service in our community.
