The pandemic winter brought wave after wave of changing restrictions to restaurants in Aspen. That, plus sagging visitorship, meant an economically grim season for a lot of local eateries. Meat & Cheese, a restaurant and boutique food shop in downtown Aspen, broke even over the course of the past year. Oh my gosh, we need to make some money to make up all the months of not making money, said Meat & Cheese owner Wendy Mitchell. All last year was kind of a wash.
Mitchell adapted to fluctuating rules and uncharted times with a patchwork of new services - take-out meal kits, dinner service in the adjacent cocktail bar she also owns - and survived the winter without any layoffs.
