You Are What You Eat: Interview with Kimbal Musk

His older brother receives more attention, but in the same way that Elon Musk is seeking to smash the existing paradigm of transportation, Kimbal wants to transform the industrial food culture in the U.S. Read more “You Are What You Eat: Interview with Kimbal Musk”

One of The Best Chefs in the World Lands…

Legendary Spanish chef Jordi Roca brings three-star Michelin elegance to the metro area

It’s rare to meet someone who is universally acknowledged to be one of the best in the world at their chosen profession. It’s surprising when that person is as kind, down to earth, and funny as Chef Jordi Roca. He is one of three brothers, along with Joan and Josep, who are the creative masterminds behind El Celler de Can Roca, a legendary three-star Michelin restaurant located in Girona, Spain. Known for gastronomically expanding the minds of even the most jaded connoisseur, the three brothers are revered for approaching food with a level of playfulness and creativity that is almost unrivaled in the culinary world. Restaurant Magazine has named El Celler de Can Roca“The Best Restaurant in the World”, and awarded Chef Jordi with the designation of the “World’s Best Pastry Chef.”

STK Brings Sexy Back To Thursday Nights

Champagne on a Thursday

It goes without saying that STK {1550 Market Street, Denver; 720.597.8010} is not your father’s steakhouse. It exudes a level of chic sophistication and coolness that in many ways is unique to Denver. The music is loud and the service attentive, and if you’re dogmatic in your belief that steakhouses have to be wood-paneled and smell faintly of cigars then, well quite frankly, it might not be the place for you. But if you’re looking for something that’s fun and is as much an experience as a delicious meal (and STK certainly delivers on the food, more on that), it’s a restaurant that’s perfect for your next date night, dinner meeting or even just to grab a cocktail at their gorgeous bar.
