“Even during three difficult and stressful pandemic years — and even when we received threats for advocating for the monuments — we declined offers from friends to help us fundraise for our survival. We’ve finally accepted that we need help.”
Spalding and Castle wrote that 2022 was the hardest year they have endured at the restaurant, at 20 N. Highway 12 in Boulder — one of the nation’s most remote towns, near the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
Spalding told The Tribune that she and Castle had “made the decision that we couldn’t continue to slide into untenable debt, and were planning to let it go. And then a number of people reached out, even guests from the restaurant whose names I don’t recognize, … people who aren’t necessarily friends, or close, but were saying to us, over and over, the same thing: ‘Please don’t make this choice without us. Give us the opportunity to help.
As of Tuesday evening, a day and a half after the campaign was first posted, more than 1,300 people have pledged to donate $180,453. Spalding said that people need to know that “we are not the only restaurant that’s in this sort of peril. … I think most smaller, independent restaurants are having a really, really hard time right now.”that she will close Les Madeleines, the beloved French bakery she has owned and operated for 19 years, at the end of December. That news, Spalding said, “is a real heartbreaker, because her place is extraordinary.
“We visit quite regularly, when we can,” Luttmer told The Tribune. “We always try to hit Hell’s Backbone, whether for a meal or for coffee, or anything. It’s just there on Highway 12.”
