Grand Junction’s come a long way since my first visit for
Colorado Mountain Winefest, most notably when you’re hungry. Exhibit 1: Fresh and Roasted Beet Salad from my favorite Western Slope restaurant, Bin 707 Foodbar, located in downtown Grand Junction.
Red and golden beets roasted to a subtle sweetness sit atop bitter frisée
(curly endive), accompanied by paper-thin sliced raw ciogga beets, locally
sourced greens, roasted black quinoa (for a little smoky crunch), and a drizzle of preserved orange vinaigrette.
707 serves big city food and cocktails in a friendly, familiar atmosphere. If you find yourself motoring west, go there. They’re worth the trip.
Almost every cuisine in the world has something delicious for the vegetarian. Over the last fifteen years, Chef Robert Church has presented the finest international vegetarian food to the Denver, Colorado area. Authentic tastes, unusual ingredients, clever kitchen tools, and an honest love for food and people are all hallmarks of his cooking classes.
A self-taught chef, Robert specializes in spectacular multi-course dinners designed to immerse his students in the smells, flavors, and cooking techniques specific to different regions and countries. Exhaustive research and menu planning maintain the true spirit of the food, while Robert keeps the execution of the dishes accessible to domestic kitchens. Presentation, complimentary flavors, variety, and sound nutritional values all combine to make each dinner a truly unique and palette-pleasing experience.
