Xatrucho
5-Course Elevated Honduran Tasting Event
Honduras-born, Colorado-raised Chef Edwin Sandoval has immeasurably enriched Denver’s food scene. He initially launched Xatrucho in 2017 as a pop-up, gaining a name and a following, and, recently, he joined forces with Grange Hall, where he is offering his festive and flavorful dinners. An experienced restaurant professional who earned his stripes at such top-flight Denver establishments as Spuntino, Beatrice & Woodsley, and Telegraph Bistro, Chef Sandoval is offering a new style of Latin cuisine at Xatrucho, which, by the way, is a nickname for the Honduran people. He sources heirloom corn from Mexico and offeris such delectables as house-made pasta, mezcal cured fish, braised brisket, and blue corn chochoyotes, a dish similar to gnocchi. The Xatrucho mindset around food is simple: cook with the seasons, source your products consciously, and, above all, have fun while cooking beautiful and delicious food. Isn’t it time you discovered Honduran food? We think so.

Executive Chef/Owner
A Honduras native, Chef Sandoval received his culinary degree in 2012 and emerged on the Denver dining scene as a Sous Chef for Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar. Thereafter, he proceeds to work at some of the most acclaimed restaurants in the city, including Spuntino and Beatrice & Woodsley. In 2014, Chef Sandoval helped open Argyll Whisky Beer as Chef de Cuisine before accepting the Executive Chef position at Telegraph Bistro the following year.
