I am excited to announce &#8211; and explain &#8211; big news about changes we have planned. When we open for the season on December 12, you can\u00a0expect a new menu,\u00a0\u00a0a new distinctive dining format, and a focus on dinner dining only, with the same warm, contemporary atmosphere.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Now open for dinner only, bb&#8217;s will offer\u00a028 globally-inspired small plates\u00a0that include a diversity of ingredients, influences, and intriguing flavors. We also will serve several\u00a0traditional entr\u00e9es. The choice at bb&#8217;s becomes not simply what to eat, but how to dine &#8211; to share or not to share a variety of small plates or to choose a traditional entr\u00e9e.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">After three years as a successful breakfast, lunch, and dinner venue, I decided to make these changes for two important reasons. First, our success at breakfast and lunch caused bb&#8217;s to be branded as a daytime restaurant, which curtailed our dinner business. Second, when I embarked on this journey, it was to pursue mylifelong passion for food and entertaining, as well as to bring something\u00a0new and different to the Aspen restaurant scene. I wanted a place that would be an expression of my culinary interests, where I could\u00a0experiment with different foods and formats, and where patrons could gather with friends to share in my passion. These current changes reflect the evolution of my original aspirations.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">I understand that those who have enjoyed bb&#8217;s for breakfast and lunch might be disappointed, but I hope that you will try our new dinner format. I am confident that if you do, you will find the food and the dining experience to be memorable.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Executive Chef Katie Lorenzen-Smith still heads the kitchen. This winter, she&#8217;ll serve up dishes such as Black Truffle Risotto Cake with shaved Brussels Sprouts,Truffled Lamb Meatballs, Citrus Pork Belly, Perogies 3 Ways, Green Papaya Salad, Kobe Beef Tartare, and Quinoa Sushi. The &#8220;Simply Prepared&#8221; entr\u00e9e section offers several options, including\u00a0Roasted Bronzino,\u00a014 oz. Prime Ribeye, Roasted Half Chicken, and the 1 lb. Kobe Meatball.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">I truly appreciate your past patronage and I hope that you will visit us this winter to take part in bb&#8217;s evolution.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Looking forward to seeing you!<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Bruce<em>For reservations or more information, please call 970-429-8284.<\/em><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eataspen.com\/fulllisting.php?row=403\"><strong>&#8211; View the new menu<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A shift in the focus at bb&#8217;s comes this winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7546,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5],"tags":[636,94],"class_list":["post-7545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aspen-restaurants","tag-bbs","tag-bbs-kitchen","author-streck2yahoo-com","aspen-restaurants"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/94.jpg?fit=800%2C475&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1aUGV-1XH","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7545"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7552,"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7545\/revisions\/7552"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eataspen.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
