Chef Baehrend, 41 years old and a native of Boston, was classically trained at Newbury College/Culinary Department in Massachusetts. He work at several Boston restaurants before moving to the Bay Area and cooking in San Francisco and Berkeley thereby gaining a full appreciation for the bounty of fresh, seasonal ingredients and the seafood of the West Coast. In 2006, entrepreneurial opportunities prompted Baehrend to relocate to Crested Butte, Colorado to open the first gastropub in that city. He now heads up the kitchen at Honor serving contemporary California gastropub offerings prepared with quality, seasonal ingredients and using refined cooking techniques with a focus on the grill.
The bar at Honor serves an acclaimed selection of classic, contemporary and signature cocktails prepared with artisanal products and housemade syrups. There is a rotating choice of Coravin™ dispensed limited quantity library wines available in 3 oz. and 6 oz. pours.
