Telluride, Colorado

A former Victorian mining town in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, is set in a box canyon amid forested peaks at the base of a popular ski-and-golf resort. Telluride and the San Juan Mountains are rife with world renowned summer & winter activities.  Here, farms are few and far between, and quite honestly, non-existent.  It is precisely because of the harsh high alpine condtions that I look further south and towards the north in the western slopes to source my ingredients. 

Telluride winters are quite long and do not provide ample growing opportunities.  My ingredients are locally sourced from Regenerative & Sustainable Colorado Producers further south and out west in our North Fork, Western Slope, & San Luis Valley areas.

From the beginning my food philosophy was simple:

Find what makes Colorado unique and highlight the ingredients coming from within. Having been a chef for 18+ years, with over a decade of international travel and experience in top-tier Michelin kitchens across the globe, I’ve trained across the planet learning how to prepare and source ingredients.

My cuisine directly supports local communities across Colorado and highlights what is local to the High Rockies. SOURCING DOES MATTER. The food is cleaner, more nutritious, and travels less (which creates less emissions and waste for the environment). This in turn makes my food web more sustainable. I purposely seek out and work with Regenerative Agriculture and Sustainable Farmers. The soil they use is alive and sparks health for future generations.
