Chefs from around the state huddled together with sweaty palms and weak knees in Denver’s Mission Ballroom on Tuesday night to wish upon a Michelin star.
And the respected Michelin Guide organization, which is rating restaurants in Colorado for the first time this year, didn’t disappoint, awarding single stars to five restaurants in Denver, Boulder and Aspen, along with a slew of special awards during the evening ceremony.
The winners of single Michelin stars in Colorado were:
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 Food and Wine and Chef Ian Palazzola in Boulder
The Wolf’s Tailor and chefs Taylor Stark and Kelly Whitaker in Denver
