Colorado: The Napa Valley of Beer

Chef Driven, hosted by chef and restaurateur Frank Bonanno, is a travel and cooking show that showcases independent food and beverage artisans. Rooted in Colorado, where Bonanno owns and operates 10 concepts, Chef Driven showcases the people that power the restaurant scene: the chefs, farmers, ranchers, bakers, confectioners, brewers, cheesemakers and foragers that make restaurants possible.
