Later this month, some of Denver’s most celebrated culinary talents will head down to Mexico for a dinner series at the luxury Rosewood Mayakoba in the Riviera Maya. James Beard finalist Michael Diaz de Leon, who helmed Brutø when it took home one of Colorado’s inaugural Michelin stars, is on the guest chef list.
Byron Gomez, who appeared on "Top Chef: Portland" in 2021, will take over as Michelin-starred Bruto's new executive chef in Denver, after Michael Diaz de Leon left.
More than a dozen Colorado restaurants and chefs were named semifinalist for the 2024 James Beard awards, the James Beard Foundation announced in a news release Wednesday.
