From line cook to linebackers, Chef Mario’s culinary career has been on the up and up ever since he discovered his passion for cooking. His resume boasts experience as a dietary cook for the Denver Broncos as well as a sous chef for the St. Louis Cardinals. When he’s not hosting inventive, entertaining cooking classes, Chef Mario can be found using his epicurean imagination in the kitchen at The Adagio Bud and Breakfast in Denver.

I had a great time with Chef Mario! His home was very welcoming and perfect for a date night. He explained all of his cooking techniques in a way that anyone could understand. My favorite dish was the Pork Tenderloin with the curried sweet potato puree and yogurt sauce!
