  • Byron Borel

    Byron Borel began his love affair with food as a self-taught farm boy (tiny Bo’s Hollow, Missouri) who planted, grew, harvested and experimented with food preparation at home. He launched his career as a Ritz Carlton chef under the tutelage of world-renowned chef Jordi Valles, from Barcelona. On the farm or at the Ritz, he has always embraced cooking as his passion.

    Byron cooked for the Ritz Carlton Hotels for 15 years, at the Amelia Island Resort and in Colorado, always expanding his repertoire. Now a personal chef and caterer in Denver, he prides himself on designing menus with clients, customizing artful meals to suit personal tastes and health requirements.

    “I have worked for years to become an accomplished cook—not chef but cook. I want to be hands-on in the kitchen, focused on the way each ingredient contributes to make a dish the most delicious and appealing it can be.” -Byron
