DINING. Owners Meg and Joe Romano use their extensive culinary knowledge to create the highest quality food and experience, while pricing far below what people associate with the level of quality Urban Kitchen displays. Having experience in New York City and Las Vegas, Urban Kitchen encapsulates the finer food experience, Bozeman Style. Living and working in this mountain community, the Romanos have their pulse the latest and greatest, and flex their culinary creativity with confidence and passion. While every single serving at Urban Kitchen is worth writing about, this story was inspired by the cover photo shoot event held at Urban Kitchen, and the decadent desserts Urban Kitchen served that left everyone wanting more. Urban Kitchen desserts are all made from scratch and designed to be an experience, just like every other delectable they serve. It is worth making a commitment to try every single dessert they offer, and since they make it affordable, there is no excuse not to go back again and again. Urban Kitchen is always updating and adding new and creative indulgences so trying them all may take a while. We better get started.

HIGHLIGHTING WOMEN WHO MAKE BOZEMAN THRIVE IN FEBRUARY WE ARE CELEBRATING WOMEN IN BUSINESS! Urban Kitchen hosted another Bozeman Life Magazine Event in the new UK Wine Bar. We coordinated the event with a photo shoot for the cover of the magazine which is from a collaboration of women owned businesses. February’s cover includes the “Campfire Cake” by Meg Romano, who owns Urban Kitchen with her husband Joe. Babs Noelle, owner of Alara Jewelry, provided an intriguing piece from the Brevetto collection by designer Serafino Consoli. The piece is capable of expanding from a ring to a bracelet; they cleverly used it as a napkin ring. 18

Bozeman Life | February 2021

Katie Wing, owner of The Loft Spa, supplied a ceramic cup for heart shaped “cupping”. Remy Brault, owner of Labellum, provided a beautiful flower arrangement. Kari Chapman, owner of Montana BigWicks, showcased candles and paraffin wax dipped pine cones. Urban Kitchen provided an amazing spread of desserts that was both beautiful and decadently enjoyed in the warm, classy, and beautiful space of the Urban Kitchen Wine Bar. Guests were served champagne and enjoyed a seemingly endless supply of Campfire Cupcakes, truffles, and cookie sandwiches. Bozeman musician Savannah Wood played guitar and shared her beautiful and powerful voice with us.

The Cover Photo was taken by Ricardo “Rico” Aquino, owner of Content Creative Lab, working with Meg Romano to showcase all of the products generously provided for the event.

URBAN KITCHEN PARTNERS WITH WILD WEST LOCAL FOODS FEATURING PRISTINE SEAFOOD

CULINARY CREATIONS

CHEF’S TA B L E THE URBAN KITCHEN CULINARY CREW IS ALWAYS IN SEARCH OF LOCAL SEASONAL INGREDIENTS TO EXCITE THEIR GUESTS WITH DELICIOUS NEW CREATIONS. There is never a lack of culinary talent with Chefs Joe, Meg and KG running the show and they are constantly fueling their culinary talent with new menu items and daily specials. The chefs draw from years of collective experience training in kitchens focusing on many different cuisines and cultures from Italian, French, Southern Cooking, Mexican, South American and Asian just to name a few. The goal is to select accompanying ingredients and flavor profiles to highlight the true star of the dish. With high quality seafood, all that may be needed is a touch of acidity and oil such as citrus, soy sauce, mirin and olive oil. The vegetables become the background ingredients that make the dish complete adding delicious pops of flavor. Recently, Urban Kitchen has teamed up with Wild West Local Foods to focus on fresh, exquisite seafood. It was a natural pairing with Wild West, which features fresh seafood, local and regional meats individually portioned or custom ordered. They have worked together to create specific seafood options
