Join us on Sunday, August 23 for Plant a Seed for Change to enjoy curated bites from some of Boulder County’s most talented chefs—including Chef Alex De Bernardis (@chef_a_db)of @bastaboulder . Grab your tickets through the link in our bio.

Since opening in 2010, BASTA has built its menu around what’s in season, cooking over a wood-fired oven, and letting exceptional ingredients speak for themselves. That’s one of the many reasons we’re proud to recognize BASTA as one of our Snails of Approval—a community of restaurants, farms, and food producers leading the way in building a food system that’s good, clean, and fair.

Originally from New Jersey, Chef Alex studied at the Niagara Culinary Institute before making his way west in 2014. Along the way, he helped open Rosetta Hall and Acreage, led the kitchen at Mateo, cooked at Ash’Kara, and now brings his creativity and curiosity to BASTA. He’s passionate about introducing diners to new ingredients and finding fresh ways to surprise people through food.

When we asked Alex what community means to him, he shared: “One of the first things chefs learn is mise en place—everything having its rightful place. When I moved to Colorado, I realized the place I was looking for wasn’t waiting for me. It was something I had to help create. The chefs, farmers, and friends I’ve met along the way became my community—my mise en place.”

His favorite dish? Succotash. As Alex puts it, “Nothing more perfectly embodies ‘what grows together, goes together.’”

At Plant a Seed for Change, you’ll have the chance to meet Alex, hear the story behind his bite, and experience firsthand why BASTA has become such a beloved part of Boulder’s food community.

We can’t wait to share a bite with you.

Celebrated Christmas Eve with the crew at @bastaboulder, enjoying their Feast of the Seven Fishes – plus one, because the Clam Pizza is always a must. Huge thank you to @ie_kelly, @hetoops, @chef_a_db, and the entire team for creating such a memorable night. Mad props to Chef Kelly for catching the bluefin used in the crudo, and special appreciation to @efish_co, @dudleymarketvenice, and @hemstreetfisheries who helped make this menu possible. taken in Boulder, Colorado by @chef_a_db

I was tired of a lack of customizable aprons, and not being able to know how to fix them when they inevitably rip or break, so we started taking sewing classes, and this is the first fruit of that labor. taken in Boulder, Colorado by @chef_a_db
