In their pursuit of opening a neighborhood restaurant reminiscent of the Frascas they had visited in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, Chef Lachlan Mackinnon Patterson and Bobby Stuckey, M.S. opened their restaurant, Frasca Food and Wine, in 2004 in Boulder, CO. Having researched and traveled throughout Italy many times, both were inspired by this region in particular ˜ the international influences of its cuisine, the profusion of local ingredients in its rustic yet elegant dishes, its passionate relationship between food and wine, and the gracious hospitality of the locals. In July of 2005, Lachlan was named one of Food and Wine Magazines Best New Chefs. He was only one of 10 Chefs in the country to receive this distinctive honor. In 2006, the James Beard Foundation named him a Rising Star Chef nominee. Today, Lachlan applies his culinary talents at Frasca to create innovative, yet traditional, dishes true to the indelible spirit of Friuli, Italy.
