INTUEAT

Your Private Chefs

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JONI SCHRANTZ

In the crisp heart of winter, Colorado's mountain towns undergo more than just a seasonal transition. They become mesmerizing landscapes where the festive allure of the holidays blends perfectly with Colorado's traditional tastes. The shimmering snow underfoot and twinkling stars overhead amplify this enchantment. Families converge, laughter permeates homes, and delightful aromas hint at festive feasts. INTUEAT Private Chefs take these moments and enhance them, marrying the season's spirit with a culinary dance of flavors and cherished memories. They provide not just meals but experiences, making every event uniquely memorable.

As winter envelops Colorado, towns from the serene Vail and Beaver Creek in Eagle County to the welcoming Breckenridge and Keystone in Summit County offer unparalleled experiences to both locals and visitors. Amidst the festive flurry and snowdraped streets, INTUEAT’s private chef services find their place, incorporating the essence of each locale into exquisite dishes. These meals are not just feasts but stories told through cuisine. The rustic charm of Winter Park and Granby Ranch or the quaint ambiance of places like Evergreen and Bailey are all mirrored in the dining experiences they provide, making every meal a reflection of the community's heart.

As businesses take stock of the year and set sights on the future, these dining experiences promise not just recollections of the past but also hopes for renewed partnerships. This culinary journey weaves a story of collaboration and shared aspirations.

While the mountains hold their own allure, INTUEAT's reach extends further. Cities like Boulder, Loveland, Colorado Springs, and Monument have all tasted the unique flavors that INTUEAT brings. Each city, with its own rhythm and heartbeat, finds a voice in INTUEAT’s dishes. In Boulder's thriving

farm-to-table scene or Loveland's agricultural richness, INTUEAT's chefs fuse their craft with local traditions. They capture the essence of each location, merging tradition with innovation. Each meal is a journey, taking guests on a delightful exploration of the locale's spirit.

While Mexican food can be found in just about every neighborhood in Denver, finding the best Mexican is not always so easy! Luckily, we found El Chingon Restaurant and Bar! El Chingon had been a staple in the Berkeley neighborhood and recently relocated to the Highlands for a more spacious location. Their trendy, new location maintained that beautiful, homey feel patrons have known for years. You always feel more like family than like a customer at El Chingon! The owner of El Chingon, Lorenzo Nunez, Jr., works hard to preserve the diverse history of the North Denver neighborhood which has been home to his family for generations. The food is seeped in soul and the flavor is unmistakable!

The old fashioned recipes mix with fresh, local ingredients and create a mouth watering menu. Whether it’s a favorite Mexican dish you crave like carnitas, Abuleita’s enchiladas, or soft chili rellenos, or a more upscale choice like pan seared salmon or sea scallop ceviche tostada, El Chingon has every taste bud covered! Whatever you decide to order, it will pair perfectly with one of El Chingon’s many tequilas. They have an amazing portfolio of fine agave spirits in every expression you can imagine!

Brooklyn’s Finest Pizza

SAVING YOU A TRIP TO NEW YORK

ARTICLE BY CHAD MICHAEL

Started in 2015 with just 1 employee, a phenomenon was born. A pizzeria that feels like it has been teleported directly from the streets of Brooklyn. "Brooklyn's Finest" is its name, a charming slice of New York right in the Mile High City.

The aroma of freshly baked pizza dough and bubbling cheese wafts through the air, drawing locals and tourists alike. The owner, Carlo, is a Brooklyn native with a passion for authentic pizza. He brought his family's secret recipes with him to Denver, determined to share the flavors of his hometown with his new community.

Carlo crafts his pies with a meticulous attention to detail, using the finest ingredients, including imported mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes. Each pizza is a work of art, boasting a thin, crispy crust with perfectly charred edges.

Although he loves pizza, it isn't his first love.  His first love is making memories and helping others make memories. Dedicating his business to feeding not just his neighbors, but local schools, colleges, the military. He has grown from 1 employee to 60.  Now, with 3 restaurants, Brooklyn's feeds the community, caters, hosts parties and is the first call for all downtown business meetings.

New York Food and Priceless Memories for years to come.

Stone Cellar Bistro

EXQUISITELY LOCAL

Just a quick jaunt from Denver, there's a charming restaurant named "Stone Cellar Bistro," owned by two inseparable friends, Jordan and Brandon. Colorado natives, graduates of Arvada West, they shared a dream of creating a dining experience that celebrated the beauty of their local community, where every ingredient was sourced from nearby farms and artisans. It was a testament to their dedication to sustainability and supporting local businesses.

What sets Stone Cellar apart is not just its farm-to-table approach, but the personal touch in every detail. Brandon, a talented carpenter, had lovingly crafted the bar and all the tables in the restaurant. Each table tells a unique story, with wood sourced from the very forests that surround Arvada

The menu at the  Stone Cellar is a testament to their commitment to local sourcing. Seasonal vegetables, farm-fresh eggs,

artisanal cheeses, and tender meats from neighboring ranches grace the menu, each dish a harmonious blend of flavors. The wine list features the finest selections available, and the dessert menu boasts delectable treats made by the chefs themselves.

The community embraced the Stone Cellar with open arms, not just for its delicious cuisine but also for its warm, inviting atmosphere.

The restaurant has not only become a hub of local flavor but also a symbol of friendship, craftsmanship, and the beauty of embracing everything Arvada has to offer.

Protein Isolate:

• Start with a protein shake made from a high-quality protein isolate. Whey protein isolate or plantbased protein isolate options are both good choices.

Complex Carbohydrates:

• Include a source of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. Some options include:

• Oats: A small bowl of oatmeal topped with berries and a drizzle of honey.

• Brown Rice: A serving of brown rice with steamed vegetables.

• Quinoa: A quinoa salad with vegetables and a vinaigrette dressing.

Creatine:

• If you choose to take creatine as part of your pre-workout nutrition, you can mix it into your protein shake. The typical creatine serving size is about 3-5 grams.

Hydration:

• Don’t forget to hydrate properly before your workout. Drinking water or an electrolyte-rich beverage can help ensure you’re well-hydrated.

Timing:

• Aim to consume your pre-workout meal or shake about 1-2 hours before your workout. This allows time for digestion and ensures that you have enough energy during your exercise session.

THE TACO CHAMPION

Award winning Mexican food is steps away from Downtown Denver at ADOBO Restaurant and Bar located at Federal and Speer.  Their list of awards and accolades is a long one, and continues to grow each year! ADOBO has won Best Food Truck, Top 100 Restaurant in Denver, Denver’s Best New Bar, and is a 5 time winner of Westwood's Best Green Chili. One step inside ADOBO and your senses will know that you are in for a treat!  Their appetizer menu is filled with delicious options and offers a taste of each flavor ADOBO offers. Their chili fries are covered in award winning green chili, cheese, cilantro, cotija, and lime crema.  Elotes are corn, lime crema, cholula, cotija, green onion, and chicharrones.  Save room for the main menu though because these are dishes you don’t want to miss.  Rice bowls with adobo chicken, angus beef, or carnitas, pork belly, mesilla, and smothered burritos, so many taco choices, and a variety of vegetarian options create a menu that will keep you coming back time and time again.  You cannot leave ADOBO without trying their award winning Top Taco.  The smoked carnitas taco is made with pork shoulder smoked over cherry wood, confit in its own fat for 12 hours, and topped with cilantro and a lime fig jam with green chili which is the perfect tart and acidic balance to the beautiful smoke of the meat.  Add chicharrones on top for a bit of crunch and you have a taco you won’t soon forget!

ARTICLE BY MATT COFFEL | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LARRY HERZ

As the publisher of this magazine, I was torn on how to approach the following story.  I was going to have one of my amazing writers tell the story, but then I realized that there is no possible way they could exemplify the man known as Larry Herz.  I am sure I will not do him justice, but I am going to tell you about the Larry that I have started getting to know. So please give me latitude as I am not a writer.

Several months ago I met the devil in person.... its name was Tik Tok.  While dancing with the devil, I came across this man who experienced 5 restaurants in 5 hours.  I was curious how he ate so much... lol. I took a shot in the dark and messaged him, knowing he would never respond to me, and 1 minute later he invited me to his studio to experience the wonder in person. I'm not kidding.  I was shocked. That was the beginning of a friendship and food journey I will never forget.  Thank you, Larry.

With an education and a passion that can only come from the likes of New York, and 3 decades of restaurant experience,

he is the master of what cuisine should be. Although his delicious footprint is all over the city, you may be familiar with his saucy side the best.  As the creator and founder of Carmine's on Penn, his food prowess has graced Denver, and not just The Real Housewives of New York.

Larry, no matter what you may think, isn't consumed with food.  His passion is helping people in local communities connect with their neighbors and friends, and there isn't any better way to do that than through food.

Larry IS NOT a food critic!  He is actually the opposite.  He does all the taste testing for us.  As Denver's premiere restaurant promoter, he tries all the food and tells us where to go on the front range.  Rough job Larry. :)
