Colorado Month: Local Love Across the Front Range
Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar | Crispy Skin Alamosa Striped Bass
"We have been using this hybrid striped bass farmed here in Colorado for many years. It comes from an on land fish farm in the high San Luis Valley. The olathe corn and heirloom tomatoes come from Tuxedo Farms on the Western Slope.
Working with local farmers, ranchers, and fishers is one of the best parts of what we do. These relationships go way beyond ingredients—they're about supporting each other, sharing stories, and staying connected. Colorado has so much to offer year-round, and it’s exciting to keep celebrating that—not just in August, but twelve months a year."
-Sheila Lucero { Centro & Jax Culinary Director }
Centro Mexican Kitchen | Colorado Tomato and Watermelon Gazpacho
If Colorado sunshine could be ladled into a dish, this would be it! Bursting with the bright, juicy flavors of peak-season tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, roasted corn, and just the right kick of spice, this chilled soup is the ultimate summer refresher.
The Post Colorado | Rock River Bison Burger
"Dedicating an entire month to celebrating Colorado ranchers and growers across all Big Red F restaurants enables us to have a more positive impact economically on our long-standing partners. We source from them year-round, but by celebrating Colorado cuisine, everyday comfort foods like The Post’s Rock River bison burger, for example, helps us get full circle, faster, with our guests and purveyors”
-Kevin Grossi { The Post & West End Tavern Culinary Director }
West End Tavern | Colorado Platter
We’re going all in on local flavors this Colorado Month with two smoked Rock River bison sausages—juicy, smoky, and full of Colorado spiri, served alongside tangy giardiniera and our house kraut for that perfect bite of briny crunch.
Wonder Press | Peaches & Cream Smoothie
Nothing says August in Colorado like peaches! Wonder's Peaches & Cream smoothie is the ultimate way to toast to summer in the Centennial State. PLUS, snag a few Palisade peaches and get your peach fix all month long!
