Seth has cooked for over 7 restaurants in the Denver fine dining scene including the popular and award winning Bones, Aubergine Cafe, Clair de' Lune, Somethin' Else, LoHi Steak Bar and Basil Doc's Pizzeria. Seth has worked with nationally renowned Chefs Sean Kelly, Frank Bonanno and notable Restaurateur, Mike Miller, who Seth credits to further advancing his knowledge and culinary creativity in his career. Chef Seth has been critically acclaimed and reviewed by notable food critics from The Westword and The Denver Post.

She is also The Black Boards general manager and brings in her own set of skills, passion, and creativity to the table to assist husband Seth in achieving the successful day to day operations of The Black Board. The house itself was originally built in 1923 and after extensive renovations, remodeling and restoration, we are proud to showcase much of the original character and history of the house with a fresh modern touch.
