If you checked in with Served last month, you’ll remember that we brought you a peek into Lure Fishbar . This month we are excited to share the second installment of content captured from the partnership between Nation’s Restaurant News , and Ventura Foods - The MenuMasters Spotlight Series . In this release of the series they interviewed Chef Alex Seidel, Founder and Chef at CHOOK (pronounced like LOOK or BOOK) in Denver, CO. The NxtGen Network team had the honor of playing a part in the telling this story and it’s a privilege to share the end product with our community. Chook restaurants are only Located in three spots in the Denver, CO area - and I can confidently say that I’m jealous it’s not located in central Indiana. Our experience was so good during filming that we brought several of the NxtGen Network team members back during the School Nutrition Association’s Annual National Conference in early July.
The food is yummy, the mission of the restaurant is an easy one to endorse and support, and Chef Alex is an incredibly down-to-earth family man (with some really great tattoos and even better stories behind them). Next time you are in Denver, be sure to pop into one of their locations for lunch - or grab take-out for your dinner - you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to Nation’s Restaurant News and Ventura Foods for creating this opportunity for us to share insights from the commercial restaurant industry to our educational foodservice community. Stay tuned for more on this series as they continue to release conversations with chefs from around the country.
