Last summer, Swigert Elementary School parents came up with “A Taste of Stapleton” as the theme for their annual fundraiser auction. The schools sent applications to restaurants to participate in a chef-driven competition. The opportunity to taste local restaurants’ creations drew over 450 participants to the event at the Hangar at Stanley on March 10. Participating restaurants included: Cattivella, Concourse, Los Chingones, Next Door, Punch Bowl, Rolling Smoke, Sazza and Stanley Beer Hall. Restaurants were asked to select a country or region of the world and represent its culinary creations; attendees voted on their favorite creation. Rolling Smoke was first, Next Door and Cattivella tied for second, Los Chingones placed third.
