Chef transplants are bringing new flavor to suburbs and smaller cities and towns
Each Sunday morning, right at 10 a.m., Carolyn Nugent and Alen Ramos sit in their townhouse and watch their phones light up with email after email from strangers eager to get their hands on their much-talked about apple fritters, Berliner donuts and rye bagels.
“It went from taking us a week to sell out or still have a couple things, to selling out in 25 minutes,” says Ramos.
The secret is out: the married couple’s Ulster Street Pastry pop-up bakery is serving up some of Colorado’s best baked goods right out of their front door in Denver. The baked goods have become so popular that the couple, whose high-profile culinary jobs in Chicago came to a standstill with the pandemic, are soon opening a bakeshop in the Denver suburb of Parker, Colorado.
A growing number of star chefs are moving from America's largest cities to suburbs and smaller cities and towns. Find out why and what they're discovering and creating in their new locations.
The growing season is just around the corner, and you can always count on El Paso County Colorado State University Extension to offer classes that can help.
But alongside the lawn and garden webinars are more in-depth classes on food preservation and healthy eating. And, if you want to make your own goodies to sell at farmers markets, there are courses for learning about food safety and getting certified for cottage food production.
Here’s a look at some of these offerings, which you can sign up for at elpaso.extension.colostate.edu. Many are free or a very reasonable price.

DENVER Gabe Henning and Michael Milton ran out of space in their home kitchen almost as soon as they started posting photos of their colorful donuts on Instagram.
The Denver couple started Pandemic Donuts during the early days of stay-at-home orders after they lost their jobs in the service industry. What started as an idea to pay rent would turn into a full-time business in a matter of weeks.
Denver7 profiled Henning and Milton back in April but a lot has changed since then. Instead of making donuts out of their home under Colorado s Cottage Foods Act, they now have their very own commercial bakery.
