Chef: Chip Johnson
Historic Briarhurst
Manor Restaurant in Manitou Springs, CO.
Chef
Johnson began his culinary career at an early age as
a free spirited youth in the Colorado mountains; harvesting
a wide variety of wild plants and animals and experimenting
with primitive hunting and cooking methods. The Colorado outdoors
and the indigenous foods of the area are still the greatest
influences on his culinary style. His exposure to different
ethnic foods during his travels throughout the North, Central
and South Americas has led to him using many different flavors,
techniques and presentations in his menus.
Chips background is extensive,
having been a chef and restaurant manager in such notable establishments
such as the Inn at West Vail, The Tyrolean Inn in Vail, Golden
Eagle Inn in Beaver Creek, Plaza Club of the Rockies in Colorado
Springs, and the Craftwood Inn in Manitou Springs. In early
2001, he took on the position of Executive Chef at the Briarhurst
Manor, a historic culinary landmark located in Manitou Springs.
Chip has placed in the
top 3 in many different culinary competitions, and has consistently
garnered 4 forks or 5 forks in local reviews. He currently retains
the position of Secretary of the Pikes Peak Chapter of the American
Culinary Federation, and holds the position of Chef and Restaurant
Chair of the Colorado Springs Taste of the Nation 2001. He is
also a member of the Colorado Chefs Collaborative. His extensive
knowledge of wild game and native foods along with his innovation
and culinary skills has produced a genuine contemporary Colorado
Cuisine.
