Meet Carrie Baird

Chef Carrie Baird has made a name for herself over the last two decades leading kitchens in some of the most highly-regarded restaurants in Denver, Colorado. Baird's signature style fuses locally-sourced ingredients with healthy twists on classic and innovative, new dishes.

Baird competed on Season 15 of Bravo's "Top Chef" where she quickly became a fan favorite and was a top 4 finalist. In the spring of 2019, Baird was a contestant on Food Network's "Beat Bobby Flay" and beat him handily with her Pork Green Chili Huevos Rancheros. She was an All-Star judge on "Top Chef" Season 18, judging 8 episodes of the season.

Baird has earned numerous accolades for her work as Executive Chef of Bar Dough including being a semi-finalist for the James Beard Award, Best Chef Mountain in 2019. Bar Dough was named one of the 25 Best Restaurants in Denver in 2017, 2018 and 2019 while Baird was the executive chef. 

Baird is currently the Culinary Director for The Culinary Creative Group's Americana division in Denver where she oversees four Tap & Burger concepts and is a Partner and Chef for Fox and the Hen.

Community Involvement

We believe that our hospitality continues outside the wall of our restaurant to the communities in which we are lucky enough to live work, and play. This commitment extends to our state, our country, and the world at large. We do more than simply donate a percentage of sales, – we raise money, we roll up our sleeves, and we get to work. Our company leadership actively participates in several charities and non-profits that we passionately support.
