Loveland + South Lifestyle | October 2021

HEN PEOPLE THINK OF A CHEF, DECADENT

FOOD, MOUTH-WATERING SMELLS, AND COLORFUL PLATINGS MIGHT COME TO MIND. However, becoming a chef is an art that takes years of practice and plenty of hard work behind the scenes. Since October is dedicated to our foodies, this article documents the journeys and the passions of some of Loveland + South’s local chefs.

“What’s very fulfilling to me is knowing that I can bring people together for an experience.” -Evan Shaffer, Executive Chef of A.K.A. Kitchen WHO INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A CHEF?

E VAN SHAFFER

It began at a very young age (even before my teenage years.) While my friends were watching sports, I was watching PBS cooking shows before The Food Network. My grandmother, who was a fantastic baker, inspired me as well. Going out to Nebraska for family vacations and getting to be with her in the kitchen was a very fun and unique experience for me. WHAT IS THE MOST FULFILLING PART OF BEING A CHEF? I’m a people pleaser for sure. I know the power of food, and I know that it can bring people together. It’s not just about getting your stomach full for sustenance; it has deeper meaning for me. It brings joy. It evokes certain feelings. It can start conversations. CAN YOU SHARE A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AS A CHEF? Since I was 16 years old, I’ve been cooking to make money. I was 24 when I found out I wanted to do it as a career, so I went to culinary school for three to four years. I knew I wanted to become a chef and do it professionally for the rest of my life. That was 12 years ago. Before AKA Kitchen, I worked at

Chimney Park in Windsor. I absolutely loved it there. Before that, I worked at a few different restaurants in San Diego.

Executive Chef, Tilted Barrel Brew Pub, 3 years

WHO INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A CHEF? When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my grandmother. She would spend hours cooking and I would sit with her and listen, learn, and ask a lot of questions. She was always the center of family gatherings and holidays, cooking up the best meals for everyone to enjoy. What amazed me most about her is that she was always the last one to eat. Now, she joins me in the kitchen at Tilted Barrel. WHAT IS THE MOST FULFILLING PART OF BEING A CHEF? I just love the industry and the comradery. Everyone in this industry works incredibly hard and has a big heart for what they do. I have always been surrounded by great people. I also love the history and culture of food. Name a place and time or great historical event that food and drink was not a part of! Food is used to celebrate and for sorrows. CAN YOU SHARE A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AS A CHEF? I started with Tilted Barrel Brew Pub when they opened in 2018. The first 3 years were really tough, but now that we have passed the couple year

mark, we are becoming a staple in the community. Once you are a part of the culture, the town of Loveland gives back to you and recognizes you as one of its own. I like to think that we are becoming one of Loveland’s hometown restaurants.

“You know you’ve made it in the community when parents of small children remember coming with their parents to eat and celebrate their lives.” -Dillon DeBord, Executive Chef of Tilted Barrel Brew Pub 16

Loveland + South Lifestyle | October 2021

ANDREW ALT WHO INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A CHEF? Probably my mom. It began with simple things while she was at work when I was nine or ten years old. I started with Hamburger Helper, and I also liked to grab ingredients from the fridge and make my own creations. She taught me some of the basics, then moved onto more advanced stuff, and here we are now. WHAT IS THE MOST FULFILLING PART OF BEING A CHEF? Food brings people together. When people are together, they are happy, and when the food is good, they are even happier. I like the challenge of taking the ingredients you have on hand and making them your own. You get to put your own spin on it--your flare--whatever you can do to separate it from what everybody else is doing. CAN YOU SHARE A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AS A CHEF? I’ve been in the industry about 15 years, give or take, and have managed a kitchen for the last three or four years. In Minnesota I served as an assistant kitchen manager, and after I moved to Colorado I became a manager at Blue Sports Grill in Loveland. I’ve been at Gumbo since April, and have taken on the challenge of keeping the recipes intact, being accurate and punctual, and getting every order out the way it’s supposed to be.

TRAVEL DESTINATION

EXPERIENCE THE WORLD THROUGH FLAVOR LET YOUR TASTE BUDS TAKE YOU AROUND THE WORLD

HOW DOES ONE TRULY EXPERIENCE A PLACE WHEN TRAVELING? It’s usually a combination of our senses that gives us a full understanding of the place we are exploring. We see the beautiful views and stunning architecture. We hear the language of another culture and the hustle and bustle of a foreign city. We feel the ocean breeze or the tropical heat. But perhaps the most underrated way we really experience a place is through the tastes and smells of the local cuisine. Culinary Latitudes, LLC, knows that food is a major component of what defines and brings a culture together. Their travel experiences showcase the nexus of food and place by highlighting all aspects of a destination’s culinary traditions.

Loveland + South Lifestyle | October 2021

CULINARY ARTICLE BRADY STEWART

Culinary Latitudes’ upcoming travel experiences celebrate cuisine from all over the globe. The first trips they offer, Night Rhine and Moselle Fairytales and Rhine Castles and the Swiss Alps, take you right through the fairytale land of Germany and the breathtaking beauty of the Swiss Alps. The food here is as refined as the culture. Centuries of perfecting dishes and aging wines and cheeses have added an air of sophistication to the region’s culinary landscape. You’ll find perfectly executed plates of beef tartar, schnitzel, and goulash. Make room to indulge as well, as there is no shortage of delicious wine, beer, fondue, and chocolates!

The next excursion offering is the Greek Isles. The food here is as ancient and storied as the millennia old civilizations. With all the sunshine and perfect growing conditions, it’s no wonder this place has a rich bounty. All that sunshine and sea air has brought forth the world’s finest olive oils, vine ripened produce, breads, and cheeses. Don’t even get us started on the fresh seafood and wine! This was the Mediterranean diet before it was a fad. Imagine the simple perfection of grilled seafood, meats, and Greek salads. This ancient and luscious cuisine is what you want and need!

CityLifestyle.com/LovelandandSouth

LATITUDES TRAVEL DESTINATION (CONTINUED)

Another culinary experience Culinary Latitudes features is “Night Japan in Bloom”. The food of Japan is an amazing representation of the culture and place. The idea with this experience is to take the most pristine ingredients and keep them as close to their natural state as possible. This mirrors the Japanese harmony between advancement and the respect and preservation of natural beauty. This is the culture that invented sushi, and if you’re a fan, this is your place! The offerings don’t stop there. Imagine viewing the splendor of the cherry blossoms while enjoying a beautiful tea ceremony. No matter what you eat and see, beauty and harmony are sure to be present.

The final luxury culinary experience offered is a tour of the Mexican Riviera and Bimini. This region is lively, tropical, and vibrant. Picture sitting on a Caribbean beach, eating a deliciously spicy and bright ceviche, sipping a cold Mexican beer, and listening to lively music. The food is lively, inspired, and unfussy, just like the area. If you’re day-dreaming of vistas and equally beautiful meals, book your next luxury experience with Culinary Latitudes!
