As the former President and CEO of Utah's most rewarded catering company, Culinary Crafts, Mary Homer Crafts has a deep connection to the delivery of food and drink to guests. Mary has been deeply affected by the sharp decline in the restaurant business as she witnessed the closure of restaurants and loss of jobs. So, in partnership with her friend, Kate Strong, who believes the more we give the more we receive, they launched the $100 dollar dinner club. Every Thursday, they select a restaurant in SL County with 30 folks who pay $100 and pass the money directly on to the server. Needless to say, they have blown some minds and have witnessed an immediate emotional, powerful, immediate impact. Utah's main streets define the character of our communities, as much as our cities and national parks. Through innovation, resilience and hope, small business owners in Salt Lake County and throughout the state are rising to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Visit Salt Lake and the Utah Office of Tourism invite you to join us as we hear the inspiring stories of these small business owners in a series we call Mighty Main Street.

She dreamed of attending culinary school and opened up a catering company in Brasilia where she provided food for weddings, small parties, university events, and government agencies. With this experience giving her first-hand insight into what it takes to succeed in the culinary industry, she knew she had found the career she wanted. In 2002, Chef Daniela moved to the United States where she lived in New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Portland. She gained even more passion for the industry while attending a variety of cooking classes while living in these cities. In 2011, her dream came true when she moved to Utah and was accepted into Utah Valley University's Culinary Institute, graduating with an associate of applied science degree in culinary arts. While working on her degree, Chef Daniela had the opportunity to hone her culinary skills as an assistant to several renowned chefs in events such as the Sundance Film Festival's ChefDance VIP dinners, and the Signature Chefs Gala of Utah. She began her professional career in 2013 at Culinary Crafts, where her passion for cooking and skills as a culinary chef developed further, and when Culinary Crafts was awarded the exclusive contract for the University of Utah’s The Tower at Rice Eccles Stadium, she was named chef de cuisine. In 2017, Chef Daniela redirected her professional and personal life, and made the decision to work as director of dietary services for an assisted living facility before joining Harmons at Mountain View, where she is a chef and instructor at the cooking school.
