  Michael WeistCulinary Expert  Born and raised in Colorado, Chef Mike has been immersed in Rocky Mountain cuisine and lifestyle his entire career. As an avid skier and mountain biker, Chef Weist spent many years in the picturesque ski town of Telluride, Colorado. He worked as the Executive Sous Chef for the critically acclaimed Allred's Restaurant. Under Weist's direction, Allred's was highly honored as one of the country's "Best new restaurants" by John Mariani and Esquire Magazine. He also led the Allred's team to a sold out benefit dinner at the James Beard House in New York City. After leaving Allred's in 2003, Mike spent a year as Chef Consultant and Guest Chef De Cuisine for Domaine Montagny in Burgundy, France. While at Domaine Montagny Chef Weist and noted Denver restaurateur Cliff Young developed the new concept in ultra luxury travel, the Private Residence Club. In France Weist added to his repertoire the experience of using truly market fresh ingredients matched with world renowned wines of the great Burgundy region. Michael has brought that experience back to Telluride and Allred's. His Chef’s Table seats 4 to 6 guests and provides a first hand view of of his world class kitchen. He and his team create a multi-course surprise tasting menu in a progression of petite courses with each course laying the foundation for the next. Guests have the option of enjoying tasting portions of wines paired with each course. The cost of the menu is $85. Reservations for this table are required.
