Editor’s note: Josh Wolkon, founder and owner of Secret Sauce Food & Beverage, has been a restaurant operator in Denver for more than 20 years; his restaurants include Steuben’s, Ace Eat Serve, and, until its closing this past summer, Vesta. Wolkon recently decided to reopen Steuben’s Arvada for take-out and delivery in order to keep 20 employees working whom he would have had to furlough otherwise. Here is where he and longtime server Alexis Stovich, a Secret Sauce employee since 2012, stand right now and what they want Denver diners to know, based on their experiences in the restaurant business this year.
