What does the new wave of chefs think about today’s current culture, and what the future holds? Guest chefs Chantal Lucas (Luchals), Hannah Cupples (Private Chef) and Ian Dedrickson (Ephemera at COATI) come on State of Plate to offer a perspective from the young generation of the Springs’ culinarians. The kitchens they’ve grown up in and operated are a different beast than the hospitality landscapes of Club 9’s era. The industry’s had many reckonings since. We discuss sexism behind the scenes, being a Black-owned business, low pay, high expectations and what the new guard wants to see in the future of Colorado Springs’ food and drink world.
The Colorado Springs Indy has been the alternative newsweekly voice for the Pikes Peak Region since 1993. We strive to have a positive impact on our beloved community by making the Pikes Peak region a more informed, more tolerant, more ecological and a more fun place to live. Matthew Schniper has been a writer and editor at the paper since 2006.
