In a recent conversation we had with a well-known chef in Colorado Springs, we touch on the importance of culinary experiences, speaking specifically to the availability of multi-course tasting menus and how our respected local establishments can provide more potential options to the average consumer. And we’re not playing with $250 per person either… We are pleased to share that The Broadmoor is paying attention to the concept of approachability and continues to host “Colorado Appreciation” menus through Thursday, February 28, with affordable price points for three-course dinners at Summit, La Taverne and the Penrose Room.
“We are doing the ‘Colorado Appreciation’ menus to show some love to our Colorado patrons,” says Krista Heinicke, public relations and communications manager. “We just want to appreciate our locals.”
