Chef Bud Thomas
Bud was the first member of his family born in the United States. His early childhood was shaped by the culture and food that each of his parents brought to the table from their home countries. It was from his parents that he picked up his passion to cook at an early age. He honed his skills while working as a chef in top restaurants in the US and abroad such as Loews Ventana Canyon Resort and Café Terra Cotta in Tucson, AZ, Les Saveurs and The Collection in London, England. Chef Bud is a graduate of the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, VT, where he received a Bachelor’s degree from the prestigious Food & Beverage Management Program. We are excited to feature Chef Bud’s show cooking prowess as he brings exciting, enticing and honest food to the festival prepared with care and served with flair.
“Chef Bud, who is hailed as one of the Best Chefs in America, has introduced a menu of delicious summer dishes. His passion for local ingredients foraged from area farmer’s markets and ranches, farms and fisheries across southwest Colorado puts the taste of the Rockies right on the plate.”
