Chef Jennifer Jasinski Named Chef of the Year Finalist

Larimer Square Chef Jennifer Jasinksi of Rioja, Bistro Vendome and Euclid Hall was recently named one of the three finalists for Denver Magazine’s Chef of the Year Award. Also nominated is Tyler Wiard of Elway’s and Jeff Osaka of Twelve Restaurant.

Denver Magazine’s search for the top chefs included countless anonymous meals and input from chefs, sommeliers, farmers, instructors, and other industry professionals across the state.

“In addition to being consistently talented at their craft and an inspiration for others in the business, these individuals have made a significant contribution to the Denver dining scene since this time last year,” says Denver Magazine publisher/editor Michael Ledwitz.

“Whether they opened a new restaurant or went from relative obscurity to being a chef we heard about most during the nomination process, these talented individuals were an important part of the Denver culinary world this year, and it is a pleasure to honor them,” says Denver Magazine senior food editor, Stacey Brugeman.
