"Summit County born and raised–chef Matt Vawter has been in the restaurant business since he was 15 years old. He worked under chef Alex Seidel at the James Beard award-winning restaurant, Fruition, and eventually partnered with Seidel to open Mercantile in Denver Union Station. After, Vawter returned back to his hometown of Breckenridge in 2020 to open Rootstalk. Housed in an 1880s-era Victorian cottage, Rootstalk’s menu focuses on new American cuisine, with dishes like New York strip, served with confit potato hash browns, oxtail marmalade, foraged mushrooms, Tropea onions, and foie gras jus." - Rebecca Treon
