If you’ve ever wanted to cook like your favorite local chef—or at least fake it convincingly—Chef’n It might be your new obsession. Launched September 10 on YouTube, this monthly series, hosted by Behind the Apron Media’s Tarah Runco, gives us a front-row seat to some of Colorado’s top culinary minds like Chris Royster of Flagstaff House, Carrie Baird of Fox and the Hen, Erasmo Casiano of Lucina Eatery & Bar, and Lon Symensma of ChoLon. Each episode features a chef breaking down one of their signature dishes with ingredients and techniques you can actually pull off at home. “As a diner, you rarely see the care, thought, and time that goes into a dish,” says Tarah. “Here, we pull back the curtain. Then the chefs ‘home-ify’ their recipes. Take Odie B’s chef Cliff Blauvelt—his sandwiches are built on deceptively complex recipes like the Fancy Sauce, which calls for twenty ingredients and two days. Here, it’s just a few essentials in minutes.” Think of it as Colorado’s own Top Chef—minus the pressure, plus a chance to cook along from home. Watch at chefnIt.com or on YouTube.
