They bring a wealth of knowledge and a depth of passion to every event they do. Get to know a little more about each of them below.
About Cameron
I found a love for cooking at a pretty young age. Both of my parents were excellent home cooks, so we naturally spent a lot of family time in the kitchen. I got my first job when I was 13, washing dishes at a Cajun restaurant named Cheers. I worked in restaurants all through high school and a few years following before I realized I wanted to make a career out of it. I was working at my first fine dining restaurant, Terry’s in the Heights, when we hosted a wine dinner with a guest chef from France. I. Was. HOOKED!!! I worked way through the ranks, moving from my hometown of Little Rock, to Chicago for a brief time, ultimately ending up here in Colorado. I would say my cooking style is old school European, mixed with a little Japanese and finished with some southern flare.

About David
I was introduced to the world of food at my grandparents’ Mexican restaurant as a child. At 15, I got my first restaurant job, and I spent the next 20 years working my way up through the ranks, learning from the best.
I have collaborated with James Beard Award-winning chefs in Denver, served as sous chef for a Michelin-starred chef, and partnered with the master brewer at Samuel Adams to curate a beer-paired menu.
Over the years, I have created and executed menus for restaurants serving French, Italian, Latin, Japanese, and BBQ cuisine, honing my molecular gastronomy techniques along the way. I love exploring different cultures and flavors, and I am committed to continuing to learn and grow as a chef.
