In 1993, Steve Ells opened the first Chipotle in an old Dolly Madison bakeshop at Evans and Gilpin. Poised with its ethos of using locally-sourced, organic ingredients whenever possible, today the restaurant has become a leader in the food revolution. On October 6, the Chipotle Cultivate Festival, which kicked off its first annual event in Chicago last year, will bring together food, music and beer with thought leaders and chefs – including Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson of Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder – with the purpose of raising awareness of the impact food has on society. “Cultivate is a great opportunity to spark some important conversations about food in a fun atmosphere,” said Chipotle spokeswoman Danielle Winslow. About 15,000 people are expected to attend the event taking place at the City Park Meadow from 10a-6p. Kids activities include planting, t-shirt making, food tastings and a farmcade. For adults, the musical headliner is Best Coast and the Brewer’s Hall will feature the best in Colorado breweries including a special brew from Avery for the occasion.
