The 21 Essential Aspen Restaurants

"Chef Chris Lanter, co-owner of Aspen’s upscale French-American restaurant Cache Cache, doubled down by bringing this South Carolina-based barbecue joint from the beach to the mountains in 2016. Anchoring the base of the Buttermilk ski area — home to the X Games Aspen every January — Home Team serves house-smoked meats, traditional Southern sides, and signature frozen cocktails. Outside of the X Games, the family-friendly hangout plays other sports on its TVs, so stop by for any type of game day. Catering, bulk order, and party platter menus are also available." - Katie Shapiro
