FAQs

This is a shared kitchen space. It is the home base and the main commissary kitchen space for our catering company and our multiple food truck operations. It is also the home base for a local baker. We will always do our best to remain out of the way and work around each other while in the kitchen. If you prefer to have the space to yourself we would ask that you plan for early morning, later evening or overnight hours. The company who has the rental agreement with Gourmet Cowboy is fully and solely responsible for the payment of rent and deposit, for any damage from misuse, cleaning, and ensures that any and all equipment is cleaned and left as found.

The Kitchen can be utilized in several different ways, each with different requirements. The Kitchen can be used for commercial food preparation on an ongoing/regular basis or as a monthly/daily rental. Please refer to the Eagle County Health Department with any questions or concerns that you may have. They are the experts and the Gourmet Cowboy defers to their knowledge and expertise!
