CrossFit Verve member, Austin Carson, opens his new restaurant, Bistro Georgette, at Avanti F&B.
Below is an excerpt from 5280.com highlighting the new venture for Austin, Heather, and Ty. Make sure to swing on by and sample some of the great Parisian food Austin, Heather, and Ty have to offer and click HERE for the full write up on 5280.com.
If pie is your thing, then Avanti Food & Beverage is where you need to go for your next fix. There, in the first floor stall where the Regional used to sling its beloved chicken sandwiches, now stands Bistro Georgette, a Parisian street food concept helmed by three Denver restaurant pros: chef Ty Leon, beverage man Austin Carson, and hospitality maven Heather Morrison, all formerly of Mizuna.
Leon, Mizuna’s executive chef for three years, is known for his remarkable pastry skills; at Bistro Georgette, his way with pie dough, in particular, informs the menu. Serving hand pies and traditional slices, Leon’s buttery, flaky crust wraps around the likes of savory wild mushrooms with garlic and fresh parsley, beef Bourguignon with bacon, and sweet caramel apples—all are rich and satisfying.
Carson and Morrison, Mizuna’s former general manager/sommelier and service manager, respectively, are in charge of hospitality at Bistro Georgette; don’t be alarmed if one or both of them venture out from behind the kiosk counter to check in with you, making sure you’re happy with the lemony, egg-topped Lyonnaise salad or chocolate-glazed eclair. After years spent in fine dining restaurants, they’re intent on bringing the same feeling of warm hospitality to Bistro Georgette, even if it is located inside a bustling, buzzy food hall.
“My grandmother, Georgia [for whom the concept is named], was the most passionate, graceful host,” says Carson, “and she was an incredible cook, too. She’s why I am in the [food] business at all.” Thanks to her then, and to Carson, Leon, and Morrison for bringing their pie-centric Parisian vision to us all.
