Rib City Grill provides Provo Craft catering for 800

We Feed about 800 people on Friday 6/12/09 in Provo Canyon for Provo Craft. Provo Craft was celebrating their 40 years in business.

Provo Craft had a fun summer party with great weather holding out till after the party - what luck!! We brought a full group to serve, including Fallen,Toni, Aisha, Bronte and Vicky to quickly feed the hungry crowd.

We organized three lines so no one had to wait. We had plenty of food with some people come back for seconds, although most said the yummy pulled pork Sweet Coleslaw and BBQ beans filled them up fast...Every one was so nice.

Large or Small, we still have some spots left for your Summer Party, so call or email us!!

Rib City Grill raises over $7,000 for Cops and Kids Sharing Christmas

Nice article in the Daily Herald and a nice two days back in December..
Fans of "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," those seeking to help others at Christmastime and customers who just enjoy barbecued food gathered together last week, with the result that six kids will have a chance to do some Christmas shopping with a police officer on Saturday.

Toni Jorgensen of Rib City Grill had a benefit for two days at the restaurant, calling in assistance from her brother, actor Vincent D'Onofrio, who stars in the TV show. She said she was pleased with the results of the fundraising.

"We raised almost $3,000 in American Fork," she said. The goal was originally $2,000, but the restaurant's customers exceeded that. In the Sandy location, they collected more than $4,000 to help the effort.

"Everybody was just excited to see Vincent," she said. "They were also supporting the cause."

Anyone who would like to donate to help a child this year or in the future may make a check payable to the American Fork FOP Lodge and send it to the city at 51 E. Main, American Fork. FOP is the abbreviation for Fraternal Order of Police, a non-profit organization.

Interview with Vincent D’Onofrio Partner in Rib City Grill

Dining | Full Meaty Jacket: A barbecue lunch with actor, philanthropist and Rib City Grill partner Vincent D’Onofrio.
By Ted Scheffler

"A number of my friends and associates are big fans of Rib City restaurant in Sandy (and also American Fork). I, however, had never made the trek there until last week when I had the opportunity to interview Law & Order: Criminal Intent star Vincent D’Onofrio. His sister Toni Jorgensen and her husband Ron opened both of the Utah Rib City restaurants, and D’Onofrio is also involved. He was kind enough to take time out from important charity work to sit down with me for a quick lunch at the Sandy restaurant.

D’Onofrio and his Rib City “family” help raise donations for charities like Shop With a Cop (in which kids go shopping with police officers for Christmas at Kmart), Cops & Kids Sharing Christmas and The Fallen Officer Memorial Fund. D’Onofrio and his wife are involved in a number of charitable organizations but prefer to keep quiet about them—except, that is, for when meeting the public, signing autographs and posing for photos might help to generate a donation or two. D’Onofrio and his family are, as they say, good people. More than talking about his next movie or TV show, he was thrilled to tell me about the guy who walked up to him and the police chief of American Fork the night before and handed him a $700 donation.

“That’s going straight to the kids!” D’Onofrio says, excitedly. He can hardly contain his enthusiasm when he talks about how donations large and small might improve an underprivileged kid’s Christmas..."
