Chef Frank Bonanno

Chef Frank Bonanno, along with his wife Jacqueline, have owned and operated the Bonanno Concepts restaurant group in Denver for more than twenty years. It all started with Mizuna in 2001 and quickly flourished into Luca, Osteria Marco, Green Russell, Russell's Smoke House, Vesper Lounge, Salt & Grinder, French 75, Lou's Food Bar, and Denver Milk Market.

Frank’s restaurants have become the most fertile training grounds for upcoming restaurateurs and chefs in the western United States. Thirteen of our restaurant family members have gone directly from an experience working alongside Frank to opening a restaurant of their own.

The magic happens when Frank gives site chefs the freedom to explore ingredients, to participate in menu items, and to creatively work toward rendering the exotic into the familiar. Now, he's bringing that experience to your homes through Youtube. Cook along!
