Whats great about being a chef in Denver?
Troy Guard: I love being a chef in Denver because of the people. There’s a great community that supports local chefs. I also like that the smallness of Denver compared to a bigger city makes everything much more personal. Tyler Wiard: People around the country are finally realizing that Denver is a thriving metropolis. We are not a cow town anymore. We have had great restaurants in Denver for years. Chefs are now being recognized for their talents that rival other cities in this country like New York, San Francisco, Chicago, et cetera. We have also had a few chefs transplant to Denver from other “big” cities who are talking about how talented the culinary scene is in Denver. It is exciting to get recognition for all of the hard work we have been doing in Denver for years. I believe that Denver isn’t labeled like other cities for what type of food they’re known for. Examples are New York: Heavily influenced by French cuisine; San Francisco: California cuisine; Boston: Lobster and so on.
