Cosmopolitan Restaurant

Chef Chad Scothorn brought his culinary vision to Telluride, Colorado, in 1996 after 22 years in restaurants from Oklahoma to Argentina. His many accomplishments include being recognized in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Nation’s Restaurant News as one of the best alpine restaurants in the country after opening Chadwick’s in Beaver Creek, CO. He was the opening chef at Beano’s Cabin on Beaver Creek Mountain, which under his guidance was named by Esquire magazine as one of the top new 100 restaurants in the United States. Scothorn has received national attention for his innovative cuisine and creative approach and in 2002 was invited to appear at the prestigious James Beard House in New York. He has also continued his culinary education, attending the Culinary Institute of America in Sicily, Italy, and at the internationally recognized École Lenôtre in France. The Cosmopolitan presents a perfect balance of Scothorn’s culinary influences—a delightful blend of old-world cooking with fresh and delicious new-world food. Chef/Owner Chad Scothorn is on a continual quest to create the ultimate dining experience at the Cosmopolitan in Telluride.
