Edible Denver

“Let Them Cook!” from our Summer issue explores the role PAIRED, the signature dining experience at the Great American Beer Festival Great American Beer Festival, has played in bringing America’s top chefs together with legendary craft breweries. The assignment: create dishes influenced by pours, with each made better by the other. 🧑🏽‍🍳🍻

We go behind the scenes of this beloved GABF tradition, where chefs and brewers push each other creatively, unexpected pairings take shape, and the freshest of fresh ingredients get their moment to shine.

“As weather brings warm temperatures and longer days spent outside, many find themselves drawn to their gardens, where the season of abundance and harvest is just beginning. For Mark DeRespinis of Boulder’s Esoterra Culinary Garden Esoterraculinarygarden, he has been here all year long.

The farm is nestled onto a 100-acre property owned by Boulder’s office of Open Space and Mountain Parks. It was founded by Mark, whose farming career began in New Mexico in 2014, and then transitioned to Colorado, where he’s developed a healthy following of restaurant industry professionals. Esoterra Culinary Garden has bloomed (pun intended) into a premier farm-to-chef-to-table operation growing over 70 varieties of crops harvested to serve the culinary scene in the Boulder–Denver–mountain area.”
