FOOD + BEVERAGE

TWO LOCAL ESTABLISHMENTS JOIN FORCES TO CREATE A DELICIOUS GATHERING PLACE

SWEET AND SAVORY APPLE RECIPES CELEBRATE THE FALL HARVEST

MAKE YOUR OWN TRAYS AND CHARCUTERIE BOARDS FOR THE PERFECT COCKTAIL PARTY

A Taste of Fall!

With the changing seasons comes a change in what we crave, and with fall that often means comfort food. October is our most delectable issue of the year, filled with some of our favorite dishes and beverages around town.

We had the pleasure of sitting down with the executive chef at Wolf Peach Public House and learned about what their fall menu will be boasting, so get your tastebuds ready, you are in for a treat. We also included a few new recipes for you to try at home, whether you’re cooking for your family or entertaining guests. The smells of fall bring memories to my mind of harvest on the farm and sitting in our mom’s and grandma's kitchen. The aroma of cinnamon, apple, pumpkin, chili and soups of any kind brings us right back to her table.

There is definitely an art to creating a flavorful dish that not only satisfies our taste buds, but also evokes memories. The aroma of certain spices and foods can bring us right back to our childhood, which can be incredibly powerful and comforting. Food brings us all together, and whether we are sharing a meal with loved ones or enjoying a night out on the town, the time spent while enjoying food is invaluable. As always, thanks for reading, and we’ll see you around town!

Happy fall!

CORRECTION: The September article on page 36, we inadvertently omitted the following:

Shelli Mango, founder and board member says, “In 2015, I had a vision of a strong merchant networking system in Downtown Parker to collaborate with all the businesses and create a vibrant downtown. I reached out to our Town Councilmember, Josh Rivero and the current Chamber Director at the time, to ask for their assistance. We created a flyer, hit the streets, and invited all of the businesses to attend a networking meeting. We successfully had approximately 50 attendees, and spent two hours brainstorming over ideas of what we would like to accomplish together and what we would like to be named. I spent the next year working with a nonprofit consultant on setting up a 501C3. Upon the submission of the application and the creation of a Board of Directors and By-Laws, we waited patiently and received our 501C status six months later. I am truly proud and honored to have been instrumental in formulating this amazing group and having so many dedicated volunteers step up and continue our legacy and commitment to making Downtown Parker a destination for Parker and our surrounding communities!”

Dealing with the death of a loved one is difficult. It's even more painful when hours are spent digging through their old file cabinets, hacking into a laptop, figuring out which key goes to what, or rummaging through stacks of bills.

THIS IS WHY WE MADE THE NOKBOX.

The Nokbox is a complete system that helps you organize all of your accounts, possessions, social media, communities, kids, pets, personal history, and estate plans (even if you don't have those yet!). The Nokbox covers every aspect of your life (even down to the organization of your keys) and also helps your NOK manage your estate when you are gone.

Regardless of your age or your phase of life, having a Nokbox is a pretty wonderful thing. It keeps you organized while you are living, and it's a wonderful gift to your NOK. There's nothing else like it, and you'll feel great when you have it completed.

EVERYONE NEEDS A NOKBOX!

PARKER'S CULINARY RENAISSANCE

Parker's newest gathering spots strive to embrace everybody

ARTICLE BY JULIE ANN TRIPP | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ABBY WATSON

Hundreds of years ago, European ships hauled exotic fruits and vegetables back from the Americas, introducing the foreign flavors of pumpkins, peppers, chocolates and tomatoes. Those who could afford extravagances like the tomato dined on pewter dishes. But as the acidity seeped into their plates, a chemical reaction occurred, leaching lead into their food and poisoning the aristocrats. They called the witchy tomato a wolf peach and threw them away.

“The common people—the farmers, the shopkeepers, even the homeless—were coming out, eating them out of wooden bowls. And they were just fine,” says Wolf Peach Public House’s owner, Jeffrey Coyle. “The idea wasn’t to put tomatoes on everything. It was really more the ‘feed everyone’ idea.”

Wolf Peach, a “finer dining” restaurant, nestles into a center in south Parker teeming with other local businesses, like Fiction Beer Company. Both of the independently owned hubs support each other while giving locals a place to gather. A food truck didn’t logistically work in Fiction’s parking lot, so Wolf Peach not only offered up food, but voluntarily eschewed in-house beer options.

“Burgers and beer speak together,” Jeffrey says. “It's like we’ve extended our dining room.”

By scanning a QR code, beer drinkers can order from a curated selection of Wolf Peach’s menu selected for how well it pairs with Fiction’s beer and holds up through boxing and delivery.

“Being neighbors, I would go over there a lot while we were building,” Jeffrey says. “They kept me hydrated for the last four months.” His go-to brew is the Juice Box, a golden kettle sour steeped in pomelo and mango.

Owned by Christopher Belila and Mallory Gillette, Fiction serves craft brews in a book-themed environment, offering 13 beers on tap that are brewed at the Denver location. They plan to start brewing trial recipes and one-off styles on-site in Parker soon.

Christopher and Mallory hand-selected and installed the decorative book spines that create a showstopper of a bar, and they offer a wall full of books for patrons of all ages to peruse. Over half of their customers are families who unofficially designated the board game section as their nook for sipping craft beers and juice boxes in good company.

In August, Fiction put on an event to support teachers’ transition back into the school year with

discounts, raffles, and a spelling bee. A 13-year-old claimed second place after four rounds (shooting kombucha instead of beer) and plowing through brewmaster words like diacetyl.

“We had people buying rounds of beer for teachers, and allin-all I think we had 30-35 beers that were purchased by the people of Parker to say thanks to the teachers. We were not expecting that,” Christopher says. “I think Wolf Peach and Fiction Beer Parker are bringing stuff that is wanted or needed in the Parker area.”

At Wolf Peach, Jeffrey pulls from his childhood on his family’s Angus cattle farm to re-create a comfortable, relaxed environment with shareable plates, but Wolf Peach opts for bison instead of beef in their recipes.

“The stuff that mom made, she had three kids in high school at the same time,” Jeffrey says. “We were all athletes, so a lot of her meals were the 9-by-13 dump pans where you mix everything together, and they were all delicious.”

In addition to bison, Wolf Peach fills its kitchen with locally sourced goods like coffee beans from Switchback Coffee, and build-your-own charcuterie board options from Red River Meats and cheeses from Haystack in Longmont.

The cruvinet system is the most compelling reason to visit, allowing 16 temperature-controlled bottles of wine to remain open for nine months. When a server pops the cork and pours a glass, they place it into the system, where nitrogen flows into the bottle, making the gas between the wine and cork inert—meaning customers don’t have to commit to an entire bottle of wine.

“Parker has a growing dining scene. We’re hoping to just become a part of that,” Jeffrey says. “We’re just trying to feed people and help somebody have a really great night.”

THE FORCES BEHIND JEFFREY COYLE, OWNER OF WOLF PEACH PUBLIC HOUSE

“I grew up on a beef farm in a little town in Wisconsin. For whatever reason, I was always around the kitchen helping mom cook food,” Jeffrey says. “My mom was an elementary school teacher and my dad was a farmer, so I had a very humble upbringing where we often ate what we grew.”

Jeffrey attended college with baseball— not a diploma—as his aspiration, but after an injury took him off the field, he started skipping class in favor of restaurant gigs. His professors noticed his passion (and absence) and encouraged him to pursue his new aspiration. Jeffrey credits his wife, Alana, for the sophisticated and welcoming interior design, and her family, who own neighboring Poulette Bakeshop, for the location discovery. (Jeffrey spotted it while helping scout locations for Poulette two years ago). Jeffrey emphasized the importance of the location, saying that If the space never became available, he would still be director of food and beverage at Brown Palace. His baseball outlet now comes in the form of coaching at Legend High School where he moonlights alongside his sous chef Rob Gaiko.

EXECUTIVE CHEF OF WOLF PEACH PUBLIC HOUSE, LUKE OSTROWSKI SHARES HIS FAVORITE CREATIONS

After Luke Ostrowski attended culinary school in Connecticut, he cooked at fine-dining restaurants that sourced seasonal items from local farms. He even spent a period of his life catering to athletes like Stephen Curry, Aaron Rodgers, and the Giants. He’s looking forward to serving a scallop dish with an Italian twist: crispy prosciutto, fried capers, spicy tomato sauce and eggplant agrodolce. But for those looking to whip something up at home, he shares two of his creations to cook at home.

RECIPES

WOLF PEACH’S EGG

NOODLE RECIPE

This is a great recipe for someone ready to make fresh pasta at home. The egg noodles at Wolf Peach come with a bison ragu, mascarpone cheese, cured egg yolk and gremolata.

• 2 cups  ‘00’ flour

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

• 11 egg yolks

• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the flour and salt. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and oil. With the stand mixer on low speed, drizzle in the egg and oil mixture. Mix the dough for 2-3 minutes. Turn onto the counter and knead by hand for several minutes. It should look bright yellow and feel firm. Flatten the dough into a rectangle, wrap with plastic wrap and leave on the counter for 30 minutes to soften and hydrate.

WOLF PEACH’S LEMON RICOTTA GNOCCHI

This dish combines lump crab, charred corn, fried leeks and butter sauce into a mouth-watering dish.

• 1 pound Ricotta, fresh or store bought

• 2 eggs

• Zest of 3 lemons

• 2 ½ cups all purpose flour

• ½ cup chicken stock

• Lump crab meat

• Charred corn

• Butter

• Salt to taste

• Leeks

In a large bowl, combine ricotta with eggs, lemon zest and salt. Mix until fully incorporated. Add 1 1/4 cups of the flour and knead the dough to incorporate flour. Repeat with the remainder of flour. Once a ball of dough is formed, refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cut the ball of dough into fourths and roll out into a snake using your palms. Cut desired gnocchi size and dust with flour to keep from sticking (the flour will also add to the sauce). Sauté in butter until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add crab and corn with additional butter and 1/2 cup of chicken stock for sauce. Reduce for 2-3 min for sauce to form while swirling pan. Garnish with fried leeks.

EXPERIENCE CREATIVITY AND COMMUNITY

BOARD AND BRUSH PARKER OFFERS YOUR INNER ARTIST A PLACE TO THRIVE

Are you ready to unleash your inner artist and have a blast doing it? Look no further than Board & Brush in Parker! Founded in December 2022 by the dynamic mother-daughter duo, Missi Hackman and Lindsay Newsom, this franchise offers a variety of exciting classes, special events, and private parties that cater to all levels of crafting ability.

According to Lindsay, their decision to step into the world of Board & Brush was a no-brainer. “We decided to purchase [an existing franchise] because Missi was an employee,” she says, “and when the current owner announced they were selling, she brought it up.” After discussing the business opportunity with their families, Lindsay and Missi took the plunge. They purchased the business and embraced their new creative journey.

Interacting with customers, building relationships, and fostering a sense of community have been immensely rewarding to Lindsay and Missi, bringing them “so much joy.” And their hard work has paid off. Board & Brush Parker was ranked 26 out of 267 stores during the first half of 2023, and they have a promising fall season ahead.

Board & Brush conducts kids’ camps, theme nights, and family-friendly sessions, as well as private parties for birthdays, team building, and other occasions.

And, although choosing a starter project might seem overwhelming, Missi and Lindsay ensure that everyone is welcome—and capable. “We don’t try to limit any project to anyone,” Lindsay shares, “no matter what their experience level is. We are here to help everyone through the whole process.” From glass etching to doormats, benches, and even oversized backyard games, Missi and Lindsay say there is literally something for everyone.

When asked specifically about their culinary projects, Lindsay says trays are one of their most popular projects. “Especially when we offer the specialty class of charcuterie along with it.” The studio collaborates with Blissful Boards, another women-owned

business, for charcuterie classes, resulting in beautiful boards. And with hundreds of designs to choose from—many focusing on kitchen and bars—glass etching is also a great option, as bar glasses and pie plates are a hit for gift giving.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, Board & Brush Parker is gearing up for a festive time. “We expect to be extremely busy over the holidays,” Lindsay says. “We have great options for holiday decorating and gifts.”

For those eager to join in the creative fun, pricing ranges from $73 to $78 for typical classes. Each class includes all materials and a completed project. Specialty classes

offer more intricate projects for $88 to $219, while a mini-class option is available at $35 to $38. And at-home kits can be purchased for $25, which include pre-stained wood, a stencil, and a paintbrush. To join a class or book a private event, clients can conveniently pre-register on the Board & Brush Parker website at boardandbrush.com/parker.

Missi and Lindsay also have a special VIP club for their dedicated clients. After attending three workshops between August and January, participants will be invited to an exclusive VIP workshop, featuring treats and prizes.

As they near their one-year anniversary, Missy and Lindsay are enthusiastic about their future, but the mother-daughter duo expresses gratitude for the opportunity to create, connect and share their passion for crafting with others. To them, it’s “a labor of love”—a sentiment that’s evident in every corner of their studio.

So, whether you’re a crafting novice or a seasoned DIY expert, Board & Brush Parker promises a memorable experience filled with creativity, camaraderie and a whole lot of fun. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this artistic adventure—right here in Parker!

THE FLAVOR OF FALL

ARTICLE BY ANGELA BROOCKERD

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES

Apples are the trademark fruit of fall, and with the many varieties to choose from, there is an apple that is sure to please any palate. They can be included in both sweet and savory dishes and are delicious and incredibly healthful. We all have heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” While they aren’t a cureall, apples are packed full of polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamin C, B vitamins and fiber. Make the most of autumn’s best produce and the flavors of fall with these simple recipes.

APPLE GALETTE WITH CARAMEL DRIZZLE

Easier than pie but with all the same textures, this gooey warm dessert is sure to please. For simplicity, this can be made with a premade crust.

INGREDIENTS: INSTRUCTIONS:

Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups flour

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed

• 1/4 cup iced cold water

Filling:

• 2 apples, peeled and sliced into thin slices

• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

• 1 1/2 tablespoons flour

• 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• Caramel sauce

• Optional: 1/4 chopped walnuts or pecans

Crust:

(Note: If running short on time, store bought crust works great, too.)

Mix flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Cut in the butter. Add water and mix until moistened. Lightly knead the dough and then form into a ball. Next, flatten dough into a thick circular form and refrigerate for one hour.

Filling:

Mix the apples, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar together in a bowl.

Assemble and Bake:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a circle and set on parchment paper. Arrange apples in center of dough, leaving about one inch of space for the edges. Fold crust over the apples and press to seal edges. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with pecans or walnuts. Bake for 35 minutes. Serve with caramel sauce and ice-cream.

ELEVATED GRILLED CHEESE

This take on the classic grilled cheese is sure to satisfy your fall cravings. With the combined flavors of savory and sweet, it packs a punch for your taste buds.

INGREDIENTS: INSTRUCTIONS:

• 1/4 red onion, sliced

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Sliced sourdough bread

• 1-2 tablespoons butter

• 4 ounces Brie, sliced

• Fig jam, or preferred choice of jam

• 1 Granny smith apple, sliced

• Arugula

• Thinly sliced ham, optional

Heat olive oil in the skillet and add sliced onions. Cook for a few minutes and then add brown sugar. Sauté until soft. Set aside. Butter the outside of the sourdough bread. Next, spread jam on the inside of both slices. Add cheese, apples, onions and arugula. If using meat, add as well. Top with slice of bread and grill on skillet until both sides are toasted and cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!

APPLE CHUTNEY

This Indian-inspired dish is the perfect fall topping for pork chops and also pairs nicely with ham. This is so easy to make and will fill your kitchen with the aroma of fall.
