"In a modestly sized community, the restaurant prioritizes retaining strong talent by focusing on quality-of-life measures and creating well-paying, long-term hospitality jobs rather than accepting frequent turnover." - Sam Nelson
"Chef Josh Niernberg, representing this Grand Junction restaurant, was a finalist for the Outstanding Chef award but did not win." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Chef Josh Niernberg was a semi-pro snowboarder before becoming a chef (find him shredding at nearby Powderhorn Mountain Resort with his kids when he’s not in the kitchen), but it’s his culinary mastery that has earned him several James Beard nominations. Bin 707, the first of his three Grand Junction restaurants, is where he solidified his focus on sustainability and sourcing food from its local community. Niernberg’s restaurants take their inspiration and ingredients from the surrounding Grand Valley, known for being the state’s cornucopia, with shareable dishes like the elk tartare made with ume plum tapenade, plum Béarnaise, puffed tendon, and frisée, served with focaccia." - Rebecca Treon
"A fine-dining concept established in 2011 by chef Josh Niernberg that served as his earlier, more formal culinary project before he opened a casual, inventive taqueria in town." - Kelly Bastone
"Bin 707 Foodbar is a restaurant in Grand Junction where locally sourced plates of blue-corn grits and lamb tenderloin are served, capturing the essence of this desert refuge."
