NORTH LOGAN — Utah State University was in the spotlight Thursday at the 2012 Spice on Ice chef cook-off. Corey Cozzens, catering sous chef of University Catering at USU, swept the awards, winning Judges’ Choice, People’s Choice and Chef of the Year at the annual fundraiser. Cozzens said the award is an important honor. “[University] Catering needed this,” Cozzens said. “We’ve come up with people’s choice, we’ve had judge’s choice, but we’ve never had Chef of the Year.”Cherry Peak ski area permit upheld by Board of Adjustments
