MINER'S CLAIM

Christian (owner) landed in Aspen after graduating culinary school with multiple degrees in 1995. Between trying to act like a ski bum and blowing money he was able to get his foot in the door at the legendary Pine Creek Cookhouse. This Aspen restaurant which is located deep in the mountains was a perfect hide away for celebrities from all over the world... Christian had the pleasure of being part of evenings with countless celebrities but some of his all time favorites were Kate Hudson, Kurt Russel, Goldie Hawn, Ivana Trump and Jeff Gordon, not too mention a couple crazy "drunken clouded" encounters with Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Christian even rubbed elbows while drinking a beer with Robert Palmer and Don Henley but his all time "weak in the knees" favorite was a private lunch with Mic Jagger... In June of 1997, Christian made an offer on a 3 bedroom 2 bath commercially zoned little cabin in downtown Silt. That cabin is now Miner's Claim!
