Cooks from across the state huddled along with sweaty palms and weak knees in Denver’s Mission Ballroom on Tuesday evening to want upon a Michelin star.
And the revered Michelin Information group, which is ranking eating places in Colorado for the primary time this 12 months, didn’t disappoint, awarding single stars to 5 eating places in Denver, Boulder and Aspen, together with a slew of particular awards throughout the night ceremony.
The winners of single Michelin stars in Colorado had been:
Beckon and chef Duncan Holmes in Denver
Bosq and chef Barclay Dodge in Aspen
Brutø and Michael Diaz de Leon and Kelly Whitaker in Denver
Frasca Meals and Wine and Chef Ian Palazzola in Boulder
The Wolf’s Tailor and cooks Taylor Stark and Kelly Whitaker in Denver
Hyoung Chang, JS
Frasca Meals & Wine in Boulder.
The Michelin Information introduced in June that it could produce a Colorado information for the primary time, reviewing eating places in Denver, Boulder, Aspen, Snowmass Village, Vail and Beaver Creek Resort. That was large information within the meals world since Michelin, which is very revered, solely lists and opinions eating places in seven different areas in North America: New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, California, Miami/Orlando/Tampa in Florida, Toronto and Vancouver.
The opposite awards had been as follows:
Excellent service award: Sergei Kiffel and the staff at Frasca Meals and Wine
Distinctive cocktails award: Caroline Clark of The Wolf’s Tailor in Denver
Sommelier award: Ryan Fletter and Erin Lindstone of Barolo Grill in Denver
Younger chef/culinary skilled: Kelly Kawachi of Blackbelly Market in Boulder
