Meet Chef KJ Kinser 🔥
Chef KJ Kinser got his start in Paonia, learning the ropes in local kitchens before taking his talent to Denver, where he spent 15+ years in some of the city’s top restaurants. Since then, he’s led kitchens across Colorado , from regional chef at Yard House to helping open Needle Rock Brewing Company, and serving as executive chef at Devil’s Kitchen in Grand Junction. He’s even spent time teaching and mentoring the next generation of chefs.
KJ’s style is bold, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in Colorado , the kind of cooking that tells a story with every course.
We’re excited to have him as our chef for our next wine dinner at Alfred Eames Cellars on Friday, June 5th. For reservations 97o-361-7o63.
