Introducing Intermountain Pasta
In April 2024, Debbie Chidester retired from Intermountain Specialty Food Group, and the company is now continuing it’s pasta products under the name Intermountain Pasta, from the same location and team located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Our History
The business started in 1992 as Gourmet Food Group when Debbie Chidester and her husband Jody transformed a passion for food into an opportunity to make a living. Debbie had long loved entertaining friends with fabulous meals. As well, she had experience working in restaurants and knew what it took to consistently provide delicious food. When friends asked about her recipes, she explained chopping the garlic and fresh herbs and blending unique spice combinations. Most of her friends wanted to eat like that but didn’t necessarily want to do all the work. Debbie took her own time tested recipes, converted them into a dried easy prepare dishes, and voila! A new business was formed!
What started out as a small operation; cooking, perfecting and packaging at their kitchen table, while selling at trade shows across the country, traveling in their Ford Aerostar Van has grown into an organization with more than 30 employees, selling in all 50 states, and into Canada.
