Meet Colorado's fine dining power player

Zoom in: Stuckey landed at No. 31 for his contributions on Colorado's dining scene, including:

• Opening Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder 20 years ago, which earned a Michelin star in 2023;
• Launching Tavernetta and Sunday Vinyl over the past decade in Denver — the latter of which was named one of Esquire's 42 Best Bars in America earlier this year;
• And bringing Osteria Alberico to Englewood this past summer.

What he's saying: "It's a privilege to represent Colorado on this list; our industry here continues to flourish, and I'm excited to keep moving it forward," Stuckey told Axios Denver in a statement.

What's next: Stuckey and the Frasca Hospitality Group are set to debut a second Tavernetta restaurant at the Four Seasons Resort Vail in December.
