Losing

Why social distancing feels
so bad. And why it’s so
good for us right now.

Even if the most optimistic projec-

tions become reality, you’re likely
reading this while still sequestered
at home in your jammies, wondering
how long Jack Nicholson spent at
that creepy hotel before he started
going after bathroom doors with
an ax. First of all, good for you:
Although you should probably put
on real pants soon and, ideally, stop
fantasizing about tormenting your
family, social distancing—keeping
space between you and others—is
the best way to slow COVID-19’s
spread. Second, yes, isolation really
sucks. Back before this pandemic,
you probably welcomed a day free
of co-workers, friends, and even
(if we’re being honest) your signif-
icant other. After a month-plus of
me time, however, you’d trade your
secret cache of TP for just one awk-
ward fist bump from Darren the HR
guy. “Something about expressive
affection is part of our evolutionary
biology,” says Meara Faw, an assis-
tant professor of communication
studies at Colorado State Universi-
ty. “It’s helped us survive through
centuries of adapting to the hard
realities of life.” In other words,
physical connection doesn’t only feel

True love isn’t a fairy tale. It’s science. One theory says
humans are attracted to people who have different
major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes than
they do. (Diverse MHC genes correlate with greater
health in offspring.) The intimacy that kissing fosters is
our evolutionary way of getting close enough to an-
other person to sniff their natural odors and determine
whether our MHC genes are compatible—i.e., phys-
iological kismet. Whatever its origins, locking lips has
been linked with a reduction in cholesterol and stress.
“It’s fun to teach my college students that it’s good for
you to be really physically affectionate with your part-
ner,” says Colorado State University’s Meara Faw.
ABOUT FACE
Since the onset of the novel coronavirus, we’ve
been commanded to stop touching our faces with
our possibly germ-riddled hands. If only it were that
easy. Neurologists aren’t 100 percent sure why we
spontaneously fiddle with our faces, but a 2019 study
from German researchers claims these gestures are
an intuitive reaction to confusion and stress. That tick
can be helpful on a normal day. During COVID-19,

People starved for physical affection—the “skin
hungry,” according to Kory Floyd of the University of
Arizona—are less happy, lonelier, and more likely
to suffer from depression. Fortunately, there are still
ways to connect while practicing social distancing.
Faw’s research indicates that parents of children with
disabilities—people known to struggle with anxiety
and doubt—showed a drop in stress-indicating cor-
tisol levels after a positive 10-minute conversation
with a loved one. That means eye contact, attentive
body posture, and paralingual cues (the ohs, huhs,

Why is it important for

people to discuss their
worst transgressions?
Secrets can be a huge, hidden,
driving force in our lives. If there’s
a truth in my life that I’m not will-
ing to admit or voice, it doesn’t
go away. It just repackages itself
as some other anxiety that wakes
me up at 2 a.m. I think there’s so
much more freedom in admitting
what these things are and expos-
ing them to sunlight. The power
that our secrets and shame have
in our lives disintegrates when
we admit what they are.

It seems like it’s more dif-

ficult to be fallible in the
age of social media.
I have a friend who’s an Episco-

el of devotion has arguably made the mustang, named
Picasso, the most famous wild horse in the country.
While good looks certainly helped Picasso’s star
ascend, he’s more than a pretty face. Most untamed
equines live around 20 years; Picasso is nearing 30.
That longevity inspired followers to crown him king
of the Sand Wash Basin. “Picasso is the embodiment
of strength,” says Cindy Wright, co-founder of Wild
Horse Warriors for Sand Wash Basin. “People go into

the basin to find healing when they are at a low point.
He is symbolic of the ability to keep moving forward.”
Even Picasso’s perseverance has been tested in re-
cent years. Colorado’s mustangs are relegated to four
herd management areas (HMAs) in the state main-
tained by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
The agency has advised that all four combined should
hold no more than 812 horses; Picasso’s HMA alone
is home to nearly 800, more than double the suggest-
ed maximum of 362. As a result, horses are constantly
clashing over resources, and the BLM continually tries
to stymie their foal-making (hence, the bait-trapping,
which involves injecting mares with contraceptives).
Despite these conditions, Picasso has outlived the
majority of his peers and even a few of his estimated
20-plus descendants. As of press time, though, the
stallion hadn’t been seen since November. But, as
Wright points out, mustangs often find a secluded
spot for winter before reemerging in spring. “For all
we know,” she says, “he may be hiding in a stash of
vegetation, eating away the season.”

Take It
Away Now
Carrying out is the new dining
out—and the best way to support
local restaurants and bars.

When Colorado’s culinary establishments closed to

in-person dining back in March in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, our Instagram feeds were
bursting with friends baking sourdough, searing
steaks, and stirring Negronis at home. Some six
weeks later, we’re here to help lift you out of any
kitchen rut you may have fallen into (see “Get
Cooking,” page 44)—and luckily, local food and
beverage workers are still rallying to stay in busi-
ness and feed you well, too, by preparing food and
booze for takeout or delivery. One of our favorite
quarantine indulgences comes courtesy of six-month-
old Daughter Thai Kitchen & Bar in LoHi, which will
deliver its gorgeous, aromatic duck curry with flaky
roti for dipping; spicy basil chicken with jasmine rice;
crispy fried frog leg larb; and even cold Thai lagers
and fresh coconut juice. (PSA: Call restaurants direct-
ly instead of using third-party ordering and delivery
services to keep more of your money with local busi-
nesses and avoid paying additional fees.) You can
also buy gift cards to use when restaurants reopen or
stock up on alcohol and merchandise, from bottles of
Italian vino at Attimo Winery in Ballpark or large-
format margaritas at Super Mega Bien in RiNo to
comfy T-shirts and hoodies from Steuben’s (we know
that’s what you’re wearing right now). It all adds up to
helping ensure Centennial State restaurants and bars
are still here when we are finally allowed to settle in at
their tables again. DENISE MICKELSEN

¼ small yellow onion,
peeled and finely diced
3 medium cloves garlic,
minced
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
flakes
¼ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black
pepper
For the steak:
12 oz. flank steak
Kosher salt and black
pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
Make the chimichurri: Whisk all
of the ingredients and salt and
pepper to taste in a medium
bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator
for a couple of hours.
Make the steak: Light the
grill. Season the steak generously
with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Grill each side for about 4 min-
utes for a perfect medium or until
a meat thermometer registers
an internal temperature of 130°

you’d like to add more vegetables to the meal,
serve it with cooked spiralized squash noodles
instead of pasta. Polenta is also a great match
if you want a heartier element. The meatballs
can be shaped up to 1 day ahead and refriger-
ated until ready to cook.
Serves 4
For the meatballs:
3 medium jalapeños
2 lbs. ground bison
2 tsp. smoked paprika
2 tsp. onion powder
Kosher salt and black pepper

 IN THE KITCHEN
4–6 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
4 medium tomatoes, cored and halved
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup minced fresh oregano
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2–4 Tbs. white wine vinegar

no pet event Kosher salt and black pepper

Make the meatballs: Arrange an oven rack in

the upper third of the oven and heat the broiler
on high. Arrange the jalapeños on a baking
sheet and broil, turning halfway, until the skin
is blackened all over. (You can broil the bell
peppers and tomatoes for the piperade now,
too, if you like, or continue with the meatballs.)
Turn off the broiler and heat the oven to 350°.
Let the chiles cool enough to handle, then
remove and discard the skin and seeds. Chop
the jalapeño flesh and transfer it to a medium
bowl. Add the bison, spices, and large pinches
of salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix gently to
combine; shape the mixture into 12 meatballs.
Cook the meatballs in a single layer on a
foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet until the
meat is springy to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove and keep warm.
Make the piperade: Heat the broiler on
high. Arrange the halved bell peppers skin-
side up on a baking sheet and lightly brush the
skins with some of the olive oil. Arrange the
tomatoes skin-side up on the same sheet and
lightly brush with olive oil. Broil until the skins
blacken, removing each pepper and tomato
as it’s done. Let cool enough to handle, then
remove and discard the skins. Cut the peppers
into thin strips and chop the tomatoes.
Heat 2 Tbs. of oil in a large skillet over
medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stir-
ring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the
pepper strips, tomatoes, oregano, and pepper
flakes and cook, stirring often, until heated
through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste
with the vinegar, salt, and pepper. Transfer
the piperade to a blender and carefully blend
into a smooth purée. Return the sauce to the
skillet over medium heat until hot, taste, and
add more salt and pepper as needed. Add the
meatballs, stir to coat, and serve.

Too Small To Fail
Amid uncertainty, layoffs, and closures, local independent
restaurateurs—and 5280’s dining critic—voice their fears
and hopes for the Great Reopening.
I
t was the best of times, and then, in a stir-fry flash, it
was the worst of times. Before the novel coronavirus,
the restaurant business in Denver—and in most of the
country—was experiencing a golden age. Here, our
dining establishments both nurtured and reflected an
exuberant American food culture: adventurous, multi-
cultural, eager to master the old ways and invent new
ones. The northwest side of the city, RiNo, and other
neighborhoods roared with Big Restaurant Energy,
and recent openings, such as Sunday Vinyl, suggested
that Denver was on the cusp of a new, supple urbanity.
Enter the virus, stage left. We became culinary
shut-ins. Almost the first effect of social distancing (“Social
D,” as my friend Andy Clark of Louisville’s Moxie Bread Co,
calls it; see “The Grain King” on page 40) laid bare how much
restaurants underpin our desire for social communion, a need
almost as deep as our need for food itself. Let’s call that com-
muning imperative “Social C.” In the tug-of-war between
Social D and Social C, restaurants were front-line casualties.
The dark question now is how dire the picture will be when
the shutdown is lifted. In ordinary times, it’s not the job of
customers to know much about the way businesses operate.

These, however, are extraordinary times, so I talked with chefs
and owners about the damage caused by the mandatory clo-
sures and the likely mechanics of the Great Reopening. It was
early in the pandemic when we spoke, and details about how
federal trillions would be spent were still scant. But I heard
predictions that a quarter or even half of local restaurants
would not reopen or would fail soon after trying to do so.
ON MARCH 27, President Donald Trump signed the Coro-
navirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act into law.
With forgivable loans to cover rent and the salaries of rehired
employees, the aid package should help reduce restaurant mor-
tality, but it will be far beyond May 11—the proposed reopening
date, at press time, in Colorado—before we know how broken
our hospitality community is. The food and beverage business
has always been ruled by the harsh math of low margins. For
independent owners, even stellar reviews, national awards, and
full rooms never kept that wolfish reality far from the door. In

margins are just as small as, if not smaller
than, other businesses.”
A few months before the pandemic,
Glover began making survival plans for the
ho-hum recession many economists were
predicting. Then, Social D. Despite moving
to takeout—which at best falls somewhere
between morale-building busy work and
life support—she had to lay off most of
Annette’s staff. “Every morning I give myself
about 15 minutes to cry, and then I start
the day,” she told me a week after the lay-
offs. But three years of fostering community
love for Annette yielded a flood of curbside
customers. This was a consistent theme from
Colorado chefs: the generosity of concerned
local diners buying takeout or gift cards or
simply texting get-well-soon messages.
“We are a day-by-day
operation.... Our profit
margins are just as small
as, if not smaller than,

By early April, 5280.com had listed
more than 300 restaurants doing takeout or
delivery, but for most, that business model
was a Band-Aid. Bobby Stuckey’s fine-

TICKET TO RIDE
Before your tires

need to purchase a
state-issued decal.
Much as it does with hunting
and fishing, the state charges
an annual fee for off-high-
way vehicle recreation—but,
fortunately, the outlay is
minimal. Colorado Parks &
Wildlife (CPW) charges just
$25.25 for either an OHV
permit or an OHV regis-
tration decal. Off-highway
vehicles with license plates
(like your Jeep Wrangler)
need permits to ply off-
road trails. Those without
state-issued plates must be
registered but don’t need
permits. (It sounds confusing,
but it really isn’t; see “Car

the money CPW collects
from permits and registra-

million—goes toward main-
tenance and construction of

you fail to register your non-

ALWAYS SUNNY TRAIL
TRAIL NAME
AND NUMBER
OHV riders must obey all
signs posted at trailheads
by the Bureau of Land
Management or the U.S.
Forest Service. Some are
vertical posts (seen here);
others look like common
road signs. Although this
signage is typically up to
date, the Forest Service’s
annual motor vehicle use
maps are always your
most au courant field
guide—and supersede
trailhead signs. These maps
are generally posted on
ranger districts’ websites.
AT V SYMBOL
ATV trails are open to
OHVs that are 50 inches
or smaller in width. Keep in
mind that aftermarket add-
ons can make ATVs—which
are typically narrower than
50 inches—too wide. There
is no emblem for UTVs/
side-by-sides. Many UTVs
measure wider than 50
inches; if that’s the case,
they cannot use ATV trails
(because they won’t fit
and because trying to
make them fit can harm
vegetation along the trail)
and must stay on paths
for high-clearance, four-
wheel-drive vehicles only.

WAY F I N D E R
COTREX knows all the
places your OHV can
go in Colorado.
Although the U.S. Forest Service’s
motor vehicle use maps can be
helpful and that time-worn atlas
in your seatback pocket comes in
handy more often
than you’d think,
the very best way
to find OHV trails
in the Centennial
State is COTREX.
Launched in late
2018 by Colorado
Parks and Wildlife
(in conjunction with
236 land managers
and organizations
as part of the De-
partment of Natural
Resources’ Colorado the Beautiful
initiative), the free downloadable
app—and companion website—is
an interactive encyclopedia of
more than 45,000 miles of local
trails. OHV enthusiasts will love
that COTREX allows users to
search for trails by mode of trans-
portation—motorcycles, ATVs,
and OHVs wider than 50 inches.
They’ll also appreciate that click-
ing on a trail produces detailed
beta about things like length,
fees, seasonal closures, elevation
range, trail numbers, and the land
management agency responsible
for the area. Furthermore, the
ability to download maps through
the app in the event you lose cell
service—and save your routes
with detailed notes and photos—
is key for returning to a trail you
might otherwise never find again. From left: Courtesy of staythetrail.org; Courtesy of Colorado Parks and Wildlife
Maybe the most compelling
reason to use COTREX for the
off-roading set, however, is that
all of the paths are official, legal
routes, meaning you won’t ever
get that is-it-OK-for-me-to-be-
driving-here uneasiness almost
every OHV operator has felt
at one time or another. In 2020,
look for COTREX to add real-
time land-manager-approved
closures and a function that
will show upcoming trail mainte-
nance volunteer projects.

affects our public lands.
f
Fugitive dust. Soil compaction.
Reduced habitat connectiv-
ity. You’ll find these words and
phrases—none of them with defi-
nitions that describe anything
good—in nearly every environ-
mental report you read about
off-highway vehicle use. Whether
the study is from the Bureau of Land
Management or the U.S. Forest Ser-
vice or another agency, the consensus
is the pursuit has a detrimental effect
on natural resources.
This, of course, shouldn’t be a
surprise to Coloradans who have
time and again witnessed that all
recreational use—motorized or
not—impacts nature’s ecosystems
(see: Conundrum Hot Springs,
Hanging Lake, and Mt. Bierstadt).
But there’s no denying the fact that
the negative impacts of one reckless
OHV driver far exceed those of, say,
one careless hiker. “Irresponsible
OHV use results in damage to the
land, soundscapes, and habitat—and
creates conflict,” says Tom Sobal,
director for the Quiet Use Coalition,
a Chaffee County–based organiza-
tion that works to create and protect
nonmotorized uses on public lands.
“Especially the use of OHVs off
designated trails.”
As such, the Quiet Use Coalition
has lobbied against the continued
expansion of motorized access and
what it sees as lax enforcement of
OHV regulations by state and fed-
eral land managers. In some cases,
their politicking has worked; in
others, it hasn’t. Sobal says although

motorized use wreaks on flora, fauna,
and humans seeking the refuge of
the wilds, he says mandatory and/
or increased education for all OHV
operators in Colorado would help.
“That’s where Stay The Trail
comes in,” says On Trail Training’s
Matt Balazs, who also happens to be
the former chairman and a current
board member of nonprofit Stay The
Trail, whose mission it is to reinforce
conscientious OHV use. “We offer
responsible-use education to people
who are new to the state, new to the
activity, or who just don’t know that
what they’re doing is a problem.” Stay
The Trail, whose name is its guiding
principle, used 505 volunteer hours to
make contact with more than 8,900
off-road-curious Coloradans in 2019.
“We go to trailheads to educate peo-
ple,” Balazs says. “We explain things
like how alpine tundra vegetation is
incredibly fragile and doesn’t regen-
erate well if tread on by off-roading
tires.” Stay The Trail volunteers also
participate in trail improvement proj-
ects; help disseminate educational
materials at festivals around the state;
and work with OHV owners to

make sure their rides are compliant
with Colorado sound laws.
That might not be as much edu-
cation as Sobal has in mind, but
it certainly doesn’t hurt. Plus, says
Fletcher Jacobs, state trails program
manager for the Department of
Natural Resources, the pathways
that motorized recreationists use are
always multiuse—and OHV permit
and registration fees pay for a lot of
upkeep on paths that hikers, moun-
tain bikers, and equestrians use for
free. “Sharing the trails is important,”
Jacobs says. “These are our avenues
to getting to Colorado’s beautiful
places. But there is an impact. From
everyone. The easiest way to keep
resource damage to a minimum is to
stay on the trail, because it was built
for and is maintained for the use.”

just maybe, you’re starting to think
about buying or selling.
If you are, it’s difficult to predict
what’s next. What we do know is
that Denver’s real estate market was
booming this past winter. Sellers
were in charge, thanks to extremely
low inventory, which forced buyers
to compete against multiple bids
at almost every price. Some buyers,
however, had learned how to demand
more concessions, giving them a
modicum of control. Meanwhile,
brokers obsessed over pricing so that
a house wouldn’t sit on the market
for too long.
As the market returns, some of
those factors will remain relevant.
Others won’t. So, we talked to real
estate experts to find out some of the
questions you should be asking now.

Conventional wisdom tells us the
real estate market slows during elec-

political—we should point out that
the slowdown isn’t dependent upon
which party is in power or who’s on
the ticket. Buyers and sellers just
hesitate when ballots are imminent.
Fortunately, Denver’s market has
been relentless enough that the elec-
tion may not be a major factor. In
general, the Mile High City’s econ-

QUESTION Should I consider
6
one of those
new iBuyer
services?
No, iBuying isn’t the latest Apple
release. It’s a general term for compa-
nies that pay cash for houses they fix
up and sell. If that sounds a lot like
the “We Buy Houses For Cash” flyers
you see on posts around town, you’re
right. The difference is scale: Instead
of an investor buying a few houses
in a select geographic area, iBuyers
buy and sell many, many homes. (For
example, Opendoor—a major iBuying
company—has worked with 70,000
people since it launched in 2014. It
entered Denver’s market in 2018.)
Because buyers and sellers using iBuy-
ing services don’t need a broker, these
companies could end up disrupting
the marketplace. As a result, Keller
Williams’ Kato Mitchell says these
companies are “one of the biggest sto-
ries in the market right now.”
Here’s how it works: With Open-
door, for example, when you want to
sell, you fill out an online question-
naire about your house. (When was
it built? How many bedrooms? How
old is the refrigerator?) Opendoor
only buys homes in the metro area
built after 1960 and valued between
$150,000 and $600,000, but if your
home fits those parameters (and
others), the company feeds your info
into its algorithm and sends you a
price for your home. If you accept
the offer (the service is free up to this
point), you name your closing date.

 BUYER QUESTIONS
SO, YOU WANT TO BUY…
You’ve heard the stories about how competitive the
market was earlier this year. You may have even
been looking and shied away from buying until
COVID-19 showed up. Well, the landscape has trans-
formed—in big and small ways—enough that you
might start (virtually) looking again.

Realty’s Megan Ivy. But, she adds, “even
now, buyers are buying and sellers are
selling and we have [more] people in
the pipeline to resume those activities.”
Many aspects of the real estate
market were deemed essential, and
others have adjusted. For instance,
real estate closings in Colorado
require “wet signatures,” meaning
that a buyer and seller can’t e-sign,
so title companies had to improvise
and started offering drive-by and
contactless options to close deals. So,

this house. Should I
write a letter to the
sellers about why?
The short answer is no. We know it
was all the rage for a while, so let us
explain: Would you ever write a note
to a used car salesman explaining
why he must, must, must sell you
that 2017 Subaru because you dream
of summiting all the state’s fourteen-
ers (with attached photos of your
yellow Lab to win him over)? Of
course not; it’s a business transaction.
And, although there are emotions
involved, purchasing a home is too.
In home sales, the practice of
letter writing has gone out of favor
because these missives were creepy at
best (why does a seller need to know
the middle names of all your pets?)
and, at worst, created an opportu-
nity for discrimination. For example,
all that detail made it possible for a
seller to reject an offer because of a
buyer’s race or gender or sexual ori-
entation—or, at least, for there to be
a perception that he or she did. “We
started to see a lot of litigation in the
marketplace,” says Kentwood Real
Estate’s Britt Armstrong. To protect
both buyers and sellers, Armstrong’s
team stopped accepting letters.

Broker Regina Jackson, who
co-founded Race 2 Dinner, a group
that hosts discussions about race
and white privilege, says that she too
has had conversations with clients
and friends on the topic, but she
believes the solution is bigger than
one real estate transaction. “I don’t
think it is an individual problem,”
she says. “I think it is a government
problem.” Local and state politicians,
for example, could work to preserve
affordable housing and incentivize
developers to build more. Solutions
could also include requiring develop-
ers to build more units at a variety of
prices and looking at every aspect of

escalating sale prices and rising con-

QUESTION
If you’re finally ready to give up
renting; if you hope to trade up
from that starter home; if you want
to add an investment property to
your asset portfolio; or if you’re
otherwise really, really serious
about buying: Talk to a mortgage
broker to get your finances in
order. You should get prequalified
for a loan and figure out what you
can truly come up with for a down
payment before you even look
at listings. “People have to know
what they can afford,” says Kent-
wood Real Estate’s Jill Schafer.
We’re serious. And so are sell-
ers (and, more importantly, so
are their brokers). If you’re just
browsing and don’t have lender
documents to back up an offer,
don’t be surprised when a home-
owner doesn’t take your interest
seriously. And while cash-in-hand
offers (yup, that means buyers
have, say, $650,000 in cash) have
dominated the real estate scene
lately, lenders are working to make
other buyers—who typically take
out a mortgage and make a down
payment—equally enticing to
sellers. “Cash is still king, but we
can come close,” says Mike Kene-
van, who is a senior loan officer at
Amerifirst Financial.
Much like finding the right
broker is key, so is selecting a
lender. “Pay attention to who is

created the nonprofit Big Green, which

at the French Culinary Institute in New York City (now known as
the International Culinary Center). He ended up in Colorado two
years later with his first wife, artist Jen Lewin. That he had moved
into the “food space,” as he calls it, and eventually turned one Boul-
der restaurant into a formidable chain of locally sourced eateries
across the country made him something of a star in the industry. The
New York Times wrote about him, and he has appeared everywhere
from the Today Show to CNBC.
A fan of author Michael Pollan and his real food movement,
Musk built a miniature empire over the past decade and a half
that focused mainly on ingredients sourced from local growers and
ranchers. With his restaurant business expanding in Colorado, Musk
has built hundreds of learning gardens
for schoolchildren in underserved pop-
ulations across the country. In 2016, he
co-founded Square Roots, an indoor
urban farming accelerator in Brooklyn,
and he has invested heavily into a port-
folio of food-related projects while also
developing partnerships with founda-
tions and governments in several cities
across the country. Three years ago, the
Schwab Foundation for Social Entre-
preneurship—a sister organization to
the World Economic Forum—named
Musk one of its social entrepreneurs of
the year.
Musk travels throughout the world,
giving speeches and interviews about
how he believes his philosophy
“nourishes the consumer, nourishes
the farmer, nourishes the commu-
nity, and nourishes the planet” and
how his ideas can fix much of what
is ailing society, particularly in inner
cities. “He’s interested solely in world-
changing projects,” says his friend
and Square Roots co-founder Tobias
Peggs. “Kimbal moves 100 miles per
hour, and sometimes, you just kind
of try to keep up.”
By late winter of this year, before
the pandemic, that momentum had
encouraged Musk to return as CEO
of his restaurants, a position he’d held
before stepping away in 2018 to focus
on other investments and on all three
of his real food companies. “I could
live on the beach,” Musk says, “but that
doesn’t make me happy.”
Though he’d remained the Kitch-
en’s chairman and pushed the business’
expansion into new markets, the
restaurant group had begun to stumble. Two venues had closed in
the past two years—one in Glendale, off Colorado Boulevard, and
another in Memphis. A second Memphis restaurant was operating
under mediocre reviews and appeared to be teetering.
Even so, he was in demand. He was set to give the keynote at
Expo West, a major food trade show scheduled this year in Anaheim,
California, where Musk was looking forward to proselytizing to a
crowd that would include food entrepreneurs and executives from
Whole Foods Market. Square Roots had raised millions in capital
and recently signed a contract with the food-distributor giant Gor-
don Food Service. A cluster of hydroponically outfitted shipping
containers had been set up in a Michigan parking lot and was already

ation. They showered at the YMCA. They had fistfights in their
office when they disagreed. In 1999, when Kimbal was 26, Compaq
acquired their business for $307 million.
After the sale, Elon continued to work in Silicon Valley; Kimbal
needed to step away. “You’re just shitting bricks all the time,” he says.
“You do enough [startups] and it just wires your system where you’re
constantly worried.” So he went to cooking school in New York
City. He met Lewin, fell in love, and got married. Musk invested
in another of his brother’s ventures, an online financial services and
email payments company that later became part of PayPal, which
was acquired in 2002 by eBay for $1.5 billion in stock.
On a cross-country trip that same year, Musk and Lewin dis-
covered Boulder. The pair was struck by the calmness of the city and
enthused by the region’s history as an incubator for natural brands
like Celestial Seasonings and Wild Oats. Musk and his wife met
Matheson, a veteran of London’s famous River Cafe who’d moved to
Boulder a few years earlier. “By that time, Kimbal was extremely suc-

cessful, but he didn’t talk about any of it,” Matheson says. “He was
just a guy who had an intense love for cooking and for creating food
that not only tasted good but had a mission.” The trio co-founded
the Kitchen in 2004.
SIX YEARS LAT ER , on February 14, 2010, Musk was on vacation
in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, with his family when an inner tube he
was riding down a hill flipped and sent him headfirst onto the ice.
The resulting impact crushed the area between Musk’s C6 and C7
vertebrae—the base of his neck—and left him without feeling in his
arms and legs.
Just two years earlier, he’d survived near bankruptcy as Tesla
struggled to hit target goals for its first battery-operated vehicle, the
Roadster. Now the company was just months from going public.
Musk’s Boulder restaurant had taken off, and he’d begun running a
real-time online search business, OneRiot—jumping back into the
world he’d desperately wanted to escape just years earlier.
“I felt ashamed,” he remembers of his time in the hospital. “Peo-
ple projected on me what I’m supposed to be. It’s very complicated,
a spiral of anxiety. I felt like I’d just ended my life. I’m 37 and a
quadriplegic.” Motionless in his hospital bed, he had an epiphany: “I
thought, my love was food. If I walked again, I’d focus on food and
not care what people think. It was a restart to my life.”
A doctor suggested surgery on Musk’s damaged spine, and
three days later, he regained feeling and movement in his extrem-
ities. It would be another two months of CONTINUED ON PAGE 184

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
These are complicated times
for our country and community.
Local journalism is more important now than ever before. Chalat Hatten & Banker
PC has renewed its commitment to 5280, Denver’s Magazine, to help keep 5280’s
award-winning reporting, editorials, and features accessible in print and online
throughout this crisis.
Our hearts go out to the families who have lost loved ones to the COVID virus.
And to the courageous first responders, doctors and nurses whose actions we
see every day on the news. The whole nation is fighting and suffering together.
To stay informed, go to CHALATLAW.COM/COVID for a new resources page
with links to the various City, County, and State “stay-at-home” orders; the
local and national health recommendations; and the Colorado state and federal
judicial policies and closures. We think that it is more helpful have the facts—to
have access to the orders and recommendations—than just to get the hype.

 This is a leash. And it helps
keep the wilds, wild. We hate
to be the bearers of bad news,
but your best friend might just
be nature’s worst enemy. All the little
critters of the forest spend months stocking up for
the winter. They plan diligently, nibbling on twigs,
buds, leaves and bark. And all this preparation
becomes moot the minute you let Scout off-leash to
disrupt nature’s delicate balance. Hey, why not try
being the earth’s best friend? Good human.

Dentistry is our passion! It provides an ideal balance between art and science,
and our desire to attain an amazing career in the healthcare profession where we
can utilize our creative skills. Our “boutique” concierge style dentistry is laser-
focused on being patient-centered and providing the highest quality care using
cutting-edge technology in an ultra-modern environment. As husband and wife,
we share a vision to deliver comprehensive care while helping patients explore
and implement dental and facial strategies to help improve their lives. Our
ultimate goal is to meet and exceed our patients’ vision of optimal health.
Our dedication to dentistry is evident with our consistent engagement in
advanced training. From inception, following dental school, we both built
our foundation with post-doctoral residencies to grant us a higher level of
proficiency and acquire expertise in collaborating with our patient’s physicians
and other dental specialists to deliver outstanding dental care. Over the last
twenty-two years, as premium providers of IV “sleep” sedation, oral surgery
including implants and complex dentistry, we have been committed to staying
abreast of the latest information and honing our skills through a variety of
advanced continuing education training. Our proudest moment came in 2015
becoming the first husband and wife duo to achieve the highest credential as
Diplomates and Board Certified Implantologists by the American Board of Oral
Implantology/ Implant Dentistry.
Our dental philosophy far exceeds traditional general dentistry. By implementing
the most current and scientifically proven methods with the ultimate level of
competency and experience, we can treat even the most complex dental issues.
Whether patients are seeking dentistry as a preventative or needing extensive
treatment, our experienced team can help them create “Smiles For A Lifetime.”
While clinical expertise and advanced technology are essential to obtaining
superior results, it is our commitment to individualized care that truly sets us
apart. We understand the unique needs of our patients, especially those in their
golden years. We feel incredibly fortunate and honored that our patients have put
their trust in us, to not only be a part of their personal healthcare, but also for
their family and friends whom they continue to refer to our practice.
If you demand the best for your dental needs, we’d like to welcome you to
Cherry Creek Dentistry—your new dental home.

Jana Ikeda has been practicing in Boulder for 20 years. Her practice’s
philosophy is prevention through education; it is better to keep a mouth
healthy for general well-being than to have to restore a mouth to health. It is

For over 20 years, we have been creating

incredible smiles. We are experts at combining
state-of-the-art technologies so our patients
can have the amazing smiles they desire and
treatment options that fit their lifestyle. We
are proud to use the latest orthodontic advances
to make sure our patients have the best
treatment available.
“I love what I do and enjoy lecturing around the
world to other orthodontic specialists,” says
Dr. Rudman. “I have also invented some of the
technologies utilized in orthodontics today and
enjoy the unique insight I gain from consulting
with leading orthodontic manufacturers.”
We were the first office in Denver to treat
patients with Acceledent, a scientifically proven
technology to shorten treatment by 30 to 40
percent. We are also an Invisalign Elite Provider,
a status that is reserved for only the most
experienced orthodontists, and we utilize the
i-Tero Scanning System for our Invisalign patients,
which makes impressions a thing of the past. So
whether you’re 8 or 80 years old, want colorful
braces or invisible braces, Invisalign or self-
ligating treatment, our staff with over 150 years
of experience will ensure your smile opens doors.
We will help you understand insurance and offer
affordable payment plans.
We are proud of our patients and, in fact, our
website features some of our patients and their
incredible smiles.
Our philosophy, “We are here to make you smile,”
goes far beyond treating your teeth. It’s about
feeling great about your experience with us.
Let us help you discover your smile.

the myriad of questions regarding your healthcare.

Why should I see a specialist?

ORAL SURGERY
All we do is oral and maxillofacial surgery. So, we are experts in surgical
care and efficient in procedure management. Our expertise minimizes
your time in the office.
Won’t it cost more to see a specialist? DR. JULIE LESNICK
Surprisingly, no. Our fees, like most offices that accept insurance plans, 12 52 80 Top De ntis t 2020
are regulated by those plans. We often find that our surgical fees are
less than what a general dentist will charge. D R . N I C H O L A S P O L I TA N O
Do I have a choice in the anesthesia that I want? 8 52 80 Top De ntis t 2020
Absolutely. During your personal evaluation with one of our surgeons, DR. SARA WEINSTEIN
we will offer choices and then mutually decide the option that most 5 52 80 Top De ntis t 2020
comfortably fits your needs.
Will it hurt? DR. GREGORY INGALLS
All surgical procedures involve some postoperative discomfort. 13 52 80 Top De ntis t 2020
Everyone’s experience is unique to them. We take care to address all
methods of pain control and treatment follow up, especially in light of
the opioid crisis.

You deserve the most advanced care for your overall health and wellness.
Our treatment philosophy is based on microbiological therapy to address the
bacterial presence within your tooth and is coupled with a minimally invasive
approach. Anti-bacterial treatment prior to completion of your root canal
aids your immune system with healing while conservation of tooth structure
maintains the innate strength of your tooth. These two simple principles
help ensure predictable long term results for retention of your natural teeth.

favorite add-ins.
Serves 4
For the chicken:

¼ cup slivered almonds
1 medium lime, zested and juiced
2 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley
Pinch cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and black pepper
Poach the chicken: Put the stock and the garlic,

Add the hot stock to the couscous and simmer
until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the
couscous to a large bowl. Add the cucumber,

tation, before he’d walk again.
When he returned to the Kitchen, he
focused on expanding upon the lessons
he’d learned in Silicon Valley and bring-
ing them to the food industry. But life
hadn’t gone back to normal. He and his
wife divorced. His brother had run into
production issues again at Tesla and then
at SpaceX, problems that trickled down
to him as a board member and major
stockholder in both companies.
The only things going well were his
restaurants: Within five years, he opened
eight establishments, all of which were
based on the locally sourced philosophy.
Big Green came online in 2011, fol-
lowed by Square Roots five years later,
which garnered national coverage for its
use of shipping containers, hydropon-
ics, and hyper-specific LED lighting to
grow the equivalent of two acres of pro-
duce within a 200-square-foot container.
Hundreds of millennial urbanites applied
to be among Musk’s first farmers, learn-
ing everything from how to set humidity
levels to how to control sunup-sundown
schedules through an app connected to
each container. Musk has promoted the
Square Roots project as a way to move
agriculture to the heart of urban commu-
nities, where fresh greens are not easily
procured, and has said the business can
be set up in any city worldwide that has a
Wi-Fi connection.
“Some people like to talk about the
good things they can do, but Kimbal
is the rare person who actually walks
the walk,” says Peggs, his Square Roots
co-founder and a former Walmart exec-
utive who befriended Musk more than a
decade ago. Musk has, according to Peggs,
a remarkable ability to quickly shift his
attention from one task to another, often
within the same conversation. “In five
minutes, he’s giving you the 30,000-foot
view of the company’s future, and then
he’s down to three feet, telling you how
to get better taste out of Genovese basil,”
Peggs says. “There’s no one else like him.
It’s remarkable.”
of the valley, the roller coaster of the startup
world. “One day you think you’re going to
die,” he says, “and the next day you think
you’re going to take over the world.”
Sitting near the bar at one of his Boul-
der restaurants this past winter, there
was an aura of unfinished business about
Musk. He has a message written on the
wall at the Kitchen group’s headquarters
that encourages employees to “move fast
and break stuff.” Silicon Valley axioms,
apparently, die hard. At that moment,
however, Musk was more contemplative
about how this next move would impact
all the ones that come after. Yes, there were
restaurants to run, but it seemed Musk was
thinking more in terms of his legacy. “I do
have an ego,” he said. “Everyone has an
ego. But I don’t think mine’s attached to
my businesses anymore.”
He now assesses his life in one-year
chunks. He makes a full accounting of
who he is and what he’s done in the past
365 days. It’s a simple equation: Where is
he today? Where was he back then? He
considers the relationships he has with
his second wife—whom he married in
2018—his three children, and his step-
daughter. He thinks about the connections
he’s made in his life, the places he’s gone.
What more can he do? That’s the question
that appears to gnaw at him.
When he left his post as CEO of the
Kitchen, he felt burned out and wanted to
spend more time with his family as well
as take on new challenges—whether that
was setting up learning gardens in Detroit
and Indianapolis, reviewing plans for ship-
ping containers in Michigan, or launching
his idea for a worldwide Plant A Seed Day.
His time away allowed him to recalibrate
things in his mind. “Kimbal’s biggest fear is
that he’ll be left alone on a deserted island
with a piece of fish and a banana leaf,”
Matheson says. “He wants to be working,
creating, doing stuff. He wants to be in the
middle of things. He loves action.”
“Am I happier with myself?” Musk
asks. That’s a fairly complicated ques-
tion when your goal is to change the way

the world consumes its food. “Some peo- An escape from your commute

your soul to get ahead. I’m not going to

WHEN MUSK LISTENS to a story, he picks

out certain details and has the unusual
ability to turn difficult facts into a lesson
about finding a way out of the depths.
Both he and his brother have said run-
ning a startup is like “chewing glass while
staring into the abyss.” But in his world,
there’s always a path. You just have to
work hard enough to find it. There’s a
book Musk loves, called King, Warrior,
Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Arche-
types of the Mature Masculine, by Robert
Moore and Douglas Gillette, which has
shaped the way he thinks about himself
and how he traces his own evolution. The

today, the man he wants to be in the future.
“Who’s your family? You look after
your family, you look after your friends,
and you’re looking after people, rather
than yourself,” he says one day this past
winter inside a conference room at the
Kitchen’s Pearl Street headquarters. His

on March 20, during the stock market’s
worst week since 2008. He’d already made
dramatic moves with the company, promot-
ing takeout dining days before Governor
Jared Polis closed Colorado restaurants.
Musk furloughed hourly employees and
cut his top executives’ paychecks by half. He
worried about the financial health of his
staff and of other restaurant owners.
He posted on Twitter: “Our govt needs to
step in right now to help restaurant owners,
FIND staff, and hourly workers. Right. Now.” He’d

at home, chopping things, a fire on his
range. The culinary juggling act would
turn his focus away from the rest of the
world, if only for a few moments. He’d be
thankful for the distraction. Musk didn’t
know what he would cook, but he was
sure it would be nourishing and delicious.
A MONT H EARLIER , on February 15,
everything had been different. A line
formed outside the Kitchen on Wazee
Street in LoDo, 200 or so guests in cow-
boy hats and denim shirts. Elon Musk
showed up, as did venture capitalists and
musicians and actors.
Cell phones were collected at the
front door, slipped into envelopes for
return later. Kimbal Musk wanted every-
one present for this moment.
This would be a celebration of life, he
told his wife in October when he started
planning this party, the 10th anniversary
of his broken neck. Back then, he’d spent
two months horizontal at home, the world
moving on without him. On this night,
everyone was there to celebrate him.
Musk had spent hundreds of hours
preparing this evening. He put together
invitations and chose the Western-chic
dress code, the menu (Bolognese, sea bass
with braised white beans and kale, roasted
chicken with couscous and dried fruit, and
vegetable curry), and the 27-song set of
Johnny Cash covers he’d sing with his five-
piece band and a cast of friends. The party
would last well past midnight.
A small riser was set up in the dining
room, a wall of black curtains behind it.
He’d start with “Hurt,” Cash’s cover of the
Nine Inch Nails song. On “Ring of Fire,”
his publicist would play a trumpet solo
atop the restaurant’s bar.
Drinks flowed. Wearing his hat, Musk
finally stepped onstage with his Huss &
Dalton guitar. There were whoops and
applause. Musk thanked his friends for
being there to share the moment with him,
to share in the past decade. He glowed
under the spotlight. He studied the room.
His friends cried and laughed and hollered
that night. The world was about to change
forever, but no one knew it then.
Be grateful, he told his friends as they
danced and sang, because you never know
when everything might come to an end. m

 BACKSTORY
Public Shut-Eye
Napping outdoors has always been a joy: the sun on your face, the breeze ruffling
your hair, birds chirping a lullaby. Now, after being cooped up for close to two months
trying to slow the spread of COVID-19, dozing in the fresh air sounds even more
alluring. Although you can only daydream about them until the need to stay at home
passes, these serene spots are ready to host your post-quarantine snoozes. ANGELA UFHEIL
