As a retired American Airlines Sales and Marketing Manager, I had the opportunity to travel the world and experience fine dining. One of my many responsibilities was to entertain corporate executives in order to showcase what American Airlines could offer to them in the way of group travel for their incentive programs. I did this by forming a partnership with hotels and destination management companies. American Airlines would provide the airline seats. The hotels and destination management companies provided lodging, entertainment and meals. Frequently we would be provided with a private dining room, a meal prepared by executive chefs and served with white glove service. Having provided you with my back ground, you will understand that when I offer a recommendation for Chef Martin Koenig, it comes from someone that has experience fine dining in world class restaurants and private dining rooms by well qualified chefs. \r\n\r\nOn two separate occasions I have had Chef Martin prepare meals for me in my home for friends and family. He is very creative with menu ideas while being sensitive to our dietary requirements. He is very efficient and works within the confines of my non professional kitchen.

My family has attended an event called the River Rendezvous which is fund raising event for The Roaring Fork Conservancy at the Dollenbach Ranch in Basalt the last 2 years. The ticket price was fairly high but myself and my husband decided that it was for a good cause thus went ahead and purchased tickets. The large event of over 300 guests was very well organized in a beautiful Frying Pan Riverside setting. The Caterer was long time chef Jimmy Nadell and his Bravo Fine Catering staff. We were pleasantly surprised on how fine the foods were (2012 was a fabulous Tuscan theme!!) in an event of this size. Great time had by all and great job done be the Bravo staff!! We will be looking forward to attending again next year. ...read more
