Chef/Owner Alex Seidel’s fame found its principle fire through his four-star Fruition Restaurant, which is listed as one of the Top Ten Restaurants in the U.S. by gayot.com and 25 Best Restaurants by 5280 and Number One Restaurant in Colorado by Zagat. Food & Wine named Seidel Best New Chef, and Denver Magazine and 5280 both called him Chef of the Year. He has even been a semi-finalist for the James Beard Foundation’s Best Chef Southwest. Alex’s focus on local food shines in Fruition Farms Dairy, Colorado’s first artisan sheep’s milk creamery. The farm is home to a heritage breed pork and fruits and vegetables that supply his restaurants’ kitchens. With Mercantile dining & provision, Alex further solidifies the continuity and sustainable relationships between restaurant, farm and market.
