Boulder Restaurants, Meet Executive Chef Cunningham
Boulder restaurants are coming and going all the time.
Lately, we’ve seen some great ones open up in Downtown Boulder and the vicinity.
If you’re thinking about pizza in Boulder, Sushi, Boulder fine dining, or just coffee in downtown Boulder, it’s there for the taking. Just about anything you might be looking for is available in the local area.
A local executive chef, Corey Cunningham, has lots of great experience from what I’ve heard and seen in his resume’, so I felt like it was the right time to get this out to everyone, in case you know a top-notch restaurant that’s in need of some new talent.
I’ve included some excerpts from Mr. Cunningham’s resume’, and his contact information in case you want to get in touch with him directly.
Colorado Construction Management
Helping the community at large, and individuals in particular, takes on many forms.The construction industry, and local building contractors are frequently looking for good help, even in this economy (actually Boulder’s construction and building market are doing reasonably well).
Boulder builders like Hughes construction have a rock solid foundation of business due to good planning and a track record of excellent work.
Occasionally I volunteer at well-known local organizations like Flatirons Habitat For Humanity, and The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County to try to give something back to the community.
In other ways, we can help people in our community by alerting the people we live and work with about someone looking for work, or a career change.
Hence the story of Tyler Amen. Tyler is a local resident, and recent graduate of Colorado State University, with a B. S. in construction management, and with almost four years of construction experience, both on the labor end, and also the management side of the business, Tyler’s looking for his next great opportunity.
Pizzeria Basta At The Peloton Boulder
I had the opportunity to catch up on things at The Peloton in Boulder and to discover a new restaurant.
I had a meeting planned with Freddy from The Peloton sales office, and we took the opportunity to have a little chat about the price updates, and current events.
Since it was lunchtime, we took our meeting over to a new Boulder restaurant at The Peloton called Pizzeria Basta which just opened at the first of the year.
Chef and Owner, Kelly Whitaker took the time to come over and introduce himself, and we spent some time talking about his approach to the style and quality of food at his new restaurant.
One of the things that really stuck with me is that he has a tremendous amount of passion for his work, and the careful selection of ingredients he uses in all of his food he lovingly prepares for his clients.
A quote from Kelly on his website covers part of the story:
Basta, which means “enough” in Italian, represents the philosophy of our restaurant. We believe that simple, properly prepared food and a good bottle of wine are all you need for a satisfying meal.
Now that the Peloton has filled two of the three restaurant spaces, and added a pilates studio, the live-ability and viability of this project feels stronger than ever.
New Year Party At Boulder Restaurant Centro
Boulder restaurant Centro is bringing in the New Year with a New Year’s Eve four-course feast.
Like many Boulder restaurants, Centro is putting on a celebration that’s sure to be fun. I’ve always enjoyed Centro, mostly for its somewhat eclectic, and certainly special flavors.
They will have optional cocktail and wine pairings for an additional fee, and if you haven’t ever been to Centro, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the tasty and unique food and cocktails. A perfect blend for bringing in the new year in 2010. There are many Boulder restaurants to choose from this year, let me know your favorite.
Tom Smith, Superior’s LEED AP Resource
I recently had a meeting with Tom Smith from Superior, CO. He’s a LEED AP certified consultant that seems to have a lot to bring to the table if you’re thinking about a remodeling project, and want someone to hold your hand through the process to get things just right.
As a LEED AP Certified consultant, Tom can help you understand how to approach a ‘green’ remodeling project to get the most out of your dollar.
Some of the Steps that Tom explained to me that he helps with are to first help a homeowner clearly define their goals within the scope of a project, then he can work closely with you to outline the steps, and will help you keep your project on track.
