Introduction

I have 20+ years working as a Chef with formal training at California School of Culinary Arts (2004), though I have been cooking ever since I can remember. I have experience in a variety of settings including fine dining, catering, private parties, cafes, food trucks, and schools. I most enjoy creating new recipes and meals for friends & family with what is available at hand and fresh locally. Living in Steamboat Springs for the last 10 years, I have been fortunate to have access to Yampa Valley's wild game and vegetation to inspire authentic menus ideas. Blending creativity, sustainability, and fusion flavors is what gives my food its unique flare and one of kind taste that I hope to share with you and your guests.

What a great experience! Chef Barnes saved the day(s). Absolutely great experience from the first minute we spoke. Chef Barnes is very talented. If we visit Steamboat again we will 100% hire him for more than just two days, if he is available. Great food and very accommodating for food allergies and preferences. He and his team were so fun and professional.
