Drink Colorado wine

Everyone wants to be a part of something that no one else knows about. Something that is so cool and special, only certain members of society get the invite. In an information age, we have to settle for hip speakeasy-style bars and difficult to find, late-night after hours parties and VIP lounges to satisfy the elitist urge. Maybe that’s the lure of the six-month old Hush venture. It’s the food version of a hidden nightlife gem that only the hippest or most connected folks known about.

It’s safe to say Max MacKissock is on a roll. The 31-year-old chef has risen, rapidly, through Denver’s ranks and is now considered one of the elite chefs in town. After making a name for himself at Vita a few years back, he has really come into his own as the head chef of Squeaky Bean, a Highland hot spot that just keeps getting accolade after accolade. He focuses on truly seasonal and local American cuisine, growing a chunk of his produce in garden beds located in the back alley off 33rd and Tejon.
