The event, which includes a grand tasting on September 9, is also a fundraiser for the Colorado Restaurant Foundation's programs such as ProStart.
“All of the proceeds of this festival benefit the Colorado Restaurant Foundation,” explains Shunk. “They very directly support our programs in two different verticals. The first vertical [relates to] physical training and skill set development."
The Colorado Restaurant Foundation also has a U.S. Department of Labor-registered apprenticeship program. Shunk explains, “It builds from line cook to restaurant manager, [providing] a full set of competencies [needed] to advance along that career. We've got more than sixty apprentices and a number who are in the process of getting placed in apprenticeships. It's been very well received by the restaurant industry — we work with more than seventy employers across the state.
The last program within the technical skills vertical is scholarships, which are provided to students attending hospitality or culinary programs across the state. The foundation's Angel Relief Fund is a program that supports Colorado restaurant employees experiencing hardship due to an unexpected illness, injury or natural disaster. “We've expanded the Angel Relief Fund so that it also covers mental health grants. Anybody in our industry who's experiencing a mental health challenge can get up to $1,000 in coverage paid directly to their provider. They don't have to provide us any details; they just have to qualify," Shunk says.
