"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
"Winner of the Best Chef: Mountain category, this restaurant offers both a la carte and chef’s counter tasting menu experiences, focusing on hyper-seasonality and delicate preparations." - Nicole Adlman
"Eating at Rootstalk feels like rolling up to a good friend’s house party, if your friends are known for adorning crabcakes with microgreens and topping up your glass of central coast chenin blanc. Larger plates like the NY strip steak and pan-roasted duck breast are great for sharing and are comforting without being too heavy." - anne cruz
"Matt Vawter, of Breckenridge, Colorado’s Rootstalk, received nominations." - Nicole Adlman
"Eating at Rootstalk feels like rolling up to a good friend’s house party, if your friends are known for adorning crabcakes with microgreens and topping up your glass of central coast chenin blanc. Their french onion soup is packed with flavor from beef bone marrow, and will warm you up from the inside after being in frigid temps all day. Larger plates like the swordfish schnitzel and pan-roasted duck breast are great for sharing and are comforting without being too heavy." - Anne Cruz
