It’s not everyday you meet a Top Chef and I mean that literally. This was such an exciting photo shoot opportunity. I got to meet Hosea Rosenberg during a photo shoot for a feature in the February 2015 issue of Boulder Lifestyle Magazine. Hosea was a ‘cheftestant’ on Top Chef in 2009 and ended up taking the Top Chef title. He now owns the Blackbelly Market located in Boulder, CO on Arapahoe and Conestoga. The Blackbelly Market is a restaurant, bar and butcher all under one roof. There is a deli inside the restaurant, and Blackbelly also offers catering for events. If you are a food enthusiast and like trying new things, I recommend stopping by this amazing restaurant and try what Hosea and team have to offer. You will not be disappointed.
