                    RECOGNIZING CHEF CAROLINE GLOVER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JASON CROW

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 21, 2022

  Mr. CROW. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of Chef Caroline Glover and congratulate her on 
receiving the 2022 James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Mountain 
Region.
  A Chef with a passion for farming and cooking, Caroline combined both 
to open Annette: Scratch to Table, in the fall of 2016, in Aurora, 
Colorado. Annette is named for her Great Aunt Netsie who bestowed upon 
Caroline the need for a strong opinion and confidence in her own taste, 
which would carry her through 15 years in the restaurant industry.
  A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New 
York, Caroline developed her craft working as a sous chef in both New 
York and Denver in critically acclaimed restaurants. She has also spent 
an extensive amount of time on farms in Pennsylvania, Vermont, and 
Colorado, honing and developing her passion for locally-grown food.
  Caroline's culinary creativity has not gone unnoticed. She was 
recognized as one of the ``10 Best Chefs in America'' by Food & Wine 
Magazine in 2019, and Bon Appetit Magazine named Annette one of the 
``50 Best New Restaurants in the Country'' in 2017.
  The awards don't stop there. Caroline was a finalist for the same 
James Beard Foundation Award in 2020 after being named a semifinalist 
in 2018 and 2019. This Award is presented annually to chefs and 
restaurants in the culinary industry who exemplify exceptional talent 
and excellency in their craft--alongside a commitment to racial and 
gender equity, sustainability, and community. Caroline focuses on 
sustainability and sourcing locally-grown food to honor food producers 
and nourish eaters in a creative way, and as such, I cannot think of a 
chef more deserving of this award.
  Caroline's culinary contributions to our community are representative 
of the extensive and diverse selection of food Colorado's Sixth 
District has to offer. I congratulate Caroline on winning one of the 
most coveted awards in the culinary industry--and I have no doubt this 
is just the start of a long and incredible career.
