Denver: A Culinary Melting Pot


	Denver: A Culinary Melting Pot by BJ Fairfax CulinaryEd Columnist September 17, 2007 Classic barbecued meat mingles with Southwestern flavors. Authentic Mexican cuisine resides on the same street as blue-plate American fare. Where is this culinary crossroads? It's Denver, Colorado, in the heart of America—a city that serves as a melting pot of culinary delights. Prospective students of culinary schools still looking for a place to live and enroll in a culinary program should consider the lovely, lively city of Denver. Throughout Denver's city limits, participants of area culinary programs can learn many lessons by sampling fresh foods in diverse cultural cooking. Culinary Schools in Denver Culinary programs in Denver provide students a formal education, while the city itself offers a wide range of eateries that serve up informal lessons on platters of all shapes and sizes. For instance, Denver benefits from its Midwestern location when it comes to easy access to the freshest meats. Whether you're chowing down on barbecue ribs or a spicy carne asada burrito, chances are the meat was grown close to Denver. Denver Culinary Students Master Local Classics With the abundance of fresh meats, it's not hard to understand why barbecue has become almost an art in Denver, with local eateries putting their own tasty spin on this classic American dish. However, with the substantial Hispanic population of Denver, barbecue has seeped into the city's many Mexican dishes, as well. Students of culinary schools in Denver may savor barbecued pulled pork in tangy chile verde, or spicy, charred chicken in a huge toasty burrito. These are only a few examples of the flavorful cuisine available to participants of culinary programs in Denver. For potential chefs to be, the education received outside the classroom--in the restaurants of Denver--could be nearly as valuable as the lessons learned in the city's culinary schools.
