Chef Nate Dirnberger, and of course, chef Gordon Ramsey, i'm also partial to. Chef Emeril because he worked his way up from the dish pit, just like me

I own 13 acres near Cripple Creek. Colorado, that would be just enough to set up greenhouses, a small outdoor kitchen a live edge slab for 15, for a farm to table experience.
