Taste of Crested Butte- June 19-22, 2013

"Taste of CB is a new twist on the traditional restaurant week.  Events planners, Rachael Gardner of Crested Butte Events and Crista & Kaitlin Ryan of Sparkplug Productions, have joined forces to highlight the best of Crested Butte’s dining world with a bit of the town’s uniqueness tossed in the mix.  

On the traditional side, diners will enjoy daily deals at local eateries and watering holes from June 19 through June 22, 2013.  Three ticketed evening events tie to the town’s altitude of 8,885 and present you with some of the more outstanding aspects of Crested Butte cuisine.  

Warm up your taste buds and ease into the week by hosting a chef dinner on Wednesday or Thursday, June 19 or 20.  In the privacy of your own home or, in combination with one of our lodging partners, you can truly enjoy a world class meal with close friends and never get out of your PJs - or bike clothes as the case may be!

Step out and experience some local color at Friday night’s cocktail challenge.  Bars and restaurants will feature their cocktail contenders all week in an effort to be one of two finalists in the Friday face-off.   Arrive ready to sample, vote and cheer on your favorite bartender as they put their skills to the test slinging some of CB’s finest spirits.  Costumes encouraged - it’s sure to win you something in this town!

Saturday night, diners will participate in a progressive dinner.  Your evening will begin in one of the town’s many parks with a welcome cocktail and gorgeous mountain views.  While sipping Crested Butte featured cocktails, participants will be given a ticket revealing the first of three stops on their tour.  Each subsequent course will be revealed by clue enabling diners to navigate from one fine dining experience to the next.   Sign up as a single or bring a gang - there will be no shortage of friends and fun along the way."
