Aspen, Colo.
Capping off its $40 million renovation, the St. Regis Aspen has added a unique restaurant to its property. The June opening of the eatery marked the completion of the hotel’s $40 million redesign.
The St. Regis Aspen Resort has entered an exclusive partnership and licensing agreement with FOOD & WINE magazine to debut Chefs Club by FOOD & WINE, a new restaurant concept that will bring FOOD & WINE brand to life through the magazine’s signature Best New Chefs Awards platform, which honors the country’s most promising up-and-coming chefs. Chefs Club by FOOD & WINE at The St Regis Aspen Resort will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week and will feature an open kitchen and a chef’s table along with several private dining areas.
Chefs Club by FOOD & WINE will select a group of FOOD & WINE’s Best New Chefs to curate a unique menu of seasonally-inspired cuisine for The St. Regis Aspen Resort. George Mendes (2011) of Aldea, New York, James Lewis (2011) of Bettola, Birmingham, Ala. Alex Seidel (2010) of Fruition, Denver, and Sue Zemanick (2008) of Gautreau's, New Orleans, have been chosen to inaugurate the menu, which will rotate bi-annually.
The next group of Best New Chefs, including recipients of the recently announced Best New Chef class of 2012, will be announced later this year to curate the Fall/Winter menu, which will launch in November 2012. Throughout the year, chefs will make appearances at the resort to showcase the concept to guests, residents and the local community.
