Megan Bucholz
Founder and Chief Tasting Officer
Megan is a life-long foodie who had the opportunity to travel and taste her way extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America. She moved to Colorado in 2005 to earn a Masters degree in Educational Foundations, Policy, and Practice from CU Boulder and decided Colorado was the place to stay and call home. After 14 years in Boulder she relocated to Denver, a city she’s been guiding tours in since 2011. Megan enjoys the scratch-made approach to home cooking and just recently became sourdough bread maker and a home gardener. She isn’t a famous food blogger, but does own A Bolder Table where she documents recipes she loves. Megan is the current President of the Colorado chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier and is also an advisor to the board of the Flatirons Food Film Festival.
Lesia (pronounced like Lisa) is a Denver native and proudly declares herself to be The Bald Fashionable Foodie. She fell in love with cooking at age 12 and took that love for food to the Art Institute Of Colorado, where she graduated 1999 with a degree in Culinary Arts. Through years of working in various restaurants, she took her passion to the classroom and became a high school culinary arts instructor in North Carolina in 2005. She also taught at the local community college as a baking instructor, and owned a bakery from 2005-2010. In 2011 she relocated back to Denver and taught culinary arts at a youth correctional facility, a women’s nonprofit hospitality school, and eventually back to her Alma Mater in 2016- the Art Institute Of Colorado- as a Front of House Instructor and Restaurant Manager. She’s a devout foodie who loves sharing amazing places to dine and attending food, wine, and spirit tasting events. Along with being a foodie, she’s a local model who is well- known in the Denver fashion community.
Linnea Covington is a food and drink writer based in Denver. She lives to eat and try new things, and you’ll find her at almost every new restaurant and bar opening and special event. When not cooking and dining out, she takes care of a bunch of chickens, cats and two little boys. She’s also an esteemed member of the Colorado Chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier.
Laura grew up in Cape Cod and was participating in the restaurant industry before she was even born as her mom was a server. The passion she felt for food started with her Italian family and led her to start waiting tables at age 14. She’s graced many of the esteemed Boulder dining rooms with her presence as a server since moving here in 2002. She loves cooking, baking, dining, and bringing people together as well as writing, and is a well respected local food writer with her finger on the pulse of the local food and beverage scene. She’s also a (proud) Gemini. She wrote her college thesis on the food writer MFK Fisher, and there’s a chance someone will be writing about her one day!
