SANDY -- Vincent D'Onofrio, movie actor and star of TV's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," is talking about ribs, the tasty kind.
A Rib City restaurant, co-owned with his sister and brother-in-law, opens Saturday in this Salt Lake City suburb.
Amid ladders and boxes, D'Onofrio was in town this week to check on the restaurant before the grand opening.
His sister, Toni, was working for the Chili's Grill & Bar chain when she met her husband, Ron Jorgensen, a Utah native. The couple settled in American Fork, where their first Rib City franchise is located.
D'Onofrio said he decided to invest because of his sister's long career in the food industry and the success of her other Rib City.
As for his career in TV and on the big screen, D'Onofrio said he takes nothing for granted.
"I still consider myself an actor trying to get a job," he said. "I never sought to be famous or a star. I just keeping doing what I do."

I like to read what people's interests are, and you can go to their profiles and, if they have listed them, you can read people's special interests.
As I was looking at your profile, I notice you are only 1 hour behind me. I'm in OH. My daughter in AZ is 3 hours behind OH. CA is at least 3 hours behind OH, if not 4. Can't figure that one out.
welcome back chef!...yeah I figured it out too..lol
we in the south looooove our ribs!.. have you ever heard of *dreamland ribs*?.. awsome sauce. It started in Tuscaloosa close to the University of Alabama.. I'd like to test the D'Onofrio ribs against them.(I know it's not the *D'Onofrio *ribs but I couldn't remember the name).

I don't know what Time Zone OH is in (Eastern or Central), but here's a simple chart:
There are 4 Time Zones in the Continental U.S. (Alaska & Hawaii add 2 more). From East to West, starting in:
Eastern Time (New York/Boston/DC): is the starting point
Central Time (Chicago) is -1 hour
Mountain Time (Denver/Salt Lake) is -2 hours
Pacific Time (California/Seattle/Reno) is -3 hours
To VDO's Sister's Ribs:
Eastern (New York) to Mountain (Salt Lake) is -2 hours
Central (Chicago) to Mountain (Salt Lake) is -1 hour
Pacific (California) to Mountain (Salt Lake) is +1hour (goes opposite direction)
I think Alaska & Hawaii are as follows (but check if you plan to go there):
Alaska (big state, may be in 2 or more zones) is -4 hours
Hawaii is -5 hours
(Note: Daylight Savings Time begins at 2:00 am the 2nd Sunday in March; and we
return to Standard Time at 2:00 the first Sunday in November.)

Well done..I believe you are totally right...but to make things confusing I know that South Bend Indiana never changes their clocks during the year....

Ohio is EDST (Eastern Daylight Savings Time) until October, then we will go back to EST (Eastern Standard Time). So right now my daughter in AZ is 2 hours behind me; she's in Mountain Time. So CA is now 3 hours behind me, in Pacific time. IN October when we go back to EST, then my daughter will be 3 hours behind me and CA will be 4 hours behind me.
When we went to Hawaii, it was in October and they were 6 hours behind OH. We got there at 3:00 in the afternoon and it was 9:00 at night at home! We ate supper at 6:00 Hawaii time and it was midnight at home. We went to bed right after we ate and woke up at 2:00 in the morning because for us it was 8:00! My hubby just couldn't adjust to the time difference there, but I was able to within several days. But when we came back home it took me 2 weeks to get myself back on OH time.

Sorry, Lauren. You still are off.
The Story of Saving Daylight: A Bureaucratic Fairytale.
There was a time when people didn't change their clocks, they just let mother nature give us more hours of daylight in summer; and, fewer daylight hours in summer.
Then, sometime before we were old enough to be concerned about such things, some bureaucrat or politician decided he wanted more daylight hours in the evening, so we absolutely must reset our clocks in time for summer each year (Daylight Time-EDT, CDT, MDT, PST, etc.); but, we don't need that extra hour in winter, so we will go back again to the original time (Standard Time-EST, CST, MST, PST, etc) in fall/winter. They had to decide when they would make these resets, so someone (I expect in the U.S. it was Congress) voted.
So, except for a few "sensible types" (like South Bend, Indiana), every year, everybody in the U.S. would start Daylight Savings Time (EDT, CDT, MDT, PDT) on the 1st Sunday in April; and, go back to Standard Time (EST, CST, MST, PST) on the Last Sunday in October. We got used to this plan. After many, many years of changing clocks in April and October, another bureaucrat or politician decided that 6 months of Daylight Time (EDT, CDT, MDT, PDT) wasn't enough, so they voted again.
In 2007, the "New Plan" went into effect. Now, the whole U.S. (except South Bend, IN) changes to Daylight Savings Time (EDT, CDT, MDT, PDT) on the 2nd Sunday in March and goes back to Standard Time (EST, CST, MST, PST) on the 1st Sunday in November.
So. in the Eastern Time Zone when you end daylight time (EDT)/and go back to standard time (EST, in early Nov, not Oct), still be 2 hours later than AZ and 3 hours later than California.
I won't talk about Hawaii, as I've never been there; but, I expect they change at the same time everyone else does; though they may be 6 hours different (not 5) year-round.
(Note, I did major edits on this post after Bug replied, as I realized my wording was a little confusing. Hope this is a little clearer.)

This year they changed the start of Daylight Time to early March (it was early April) and the end of Daylight Time/Return to Standard Time to the beginning of November (it was the end of October).
So when you end daylight time/and go back to standard time (in early Nov, not Oct), in the East you will still be 2 hours later than AZ and 3 hours later than California. (The whole continental U.S. changes at the same time).
I won't talk about Hawaii, as I've never been there; but, I expect they change at the same time everyone else does; though they may be 6 hours different (not 5) year-round.
Incidentally, if you are in the Eastern Time Zone, I am 3 hours earlier than you in Sacramento, CA which is in the Pacific Time Zone. (San Francisco is also in the Pacific Zone, and about 100 miles or less west and south of Sacramento.)
Of course, like Irish says, there are those "isolated" communities, like South Bend, Indiana that "have to be sensible" and never change their clocks at all!
all this really hurts my brain.
just give me a website.. I'll order.
