Donald Evan Moss was an owner and co-founder of Chuck-a- rama Restaurants that has been in business for over fifty years. Don’s career in food service began in 1966 when the first Chuck-A-Rama Restaurant opened in Salt Lake City. His only qualifications were a Boy Scout cooking merit badge, an accounting degree from the University of Utah and lots of hard work. Don was a firm believer that if he couldn’t pay for it, he couldn’t have it. Many times, business was conducted on a handshake. He created the “scatter system” of food items when the business needed a boost. Don served in the Idaho and Utah National Guard for six years, was active in Rotary Club, housed several foreign exchange students over the years, served with the Boy Scouts of America and served the LDS Church. He was recognized many times by the Utah Restaurant Association.
