Chef Michael Diaz de Leon had a great 2023. For his work at the buzzy Mexican-inspired fine-downtown dining spot BRUTØ, he was nominated for a James Beard Award. Then one of his dishes appeared on the New York Times' list of Best American Dishes of 2023. Then, in October, a Michelin star. So why did he quit? Producer Paul Karolyi sits down with Diaz de Leon to talk about why he left a Michelin star behind and what he's cooking up next. Plus, Michelin wasn't the only one-star review Diaz de Leon has earned, so Paul asked him to respond to some of BRUTØ's one-star reviews on Yelp.  Diaz de Leon's “taco omakase” pop-up at Hop Alley this month is sold out, unfortunately, but you can be first to know about his next project by following him on Instagram @michaeldleon. While you're waiting for his next pop-up, here are the spots where Chef Michael says he likes to eat: Hop Alley (RiNo) sắp sửa (East Colfax) Alma Fonda Fina (Highlands) Somebody People (South Broadway) For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

As many as 400 Chinese Americans lived in a neighborhood called Hop Alley at its height in the early 20th century. Located at the corner of Market and Chestnut, the thriving community not only served as a refuge from overt racism but also as a small reflection of a culture left behind. Just press play to hear the whole story. ------- Click on search links to explore episodes with related content: Maggie Sullivan, Asian American - Pacific Islander American History,  Landmark Locations, Immigration, Business, ------ Podcast Transcript: I'm Maggie Sullivan, Researcher at the Missouri History Museum and Here's History on 88.1 KDHX. ------- St. Louis is known for diverse neighborhoods shaped by strong immigrant communities, the Hill, Carondelet, Bevo Mill, Dutchtown. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, downtown was home to St. Louis' very first Chinatown. As many as 400 Chinese Americans lived in a neighborhood called Hop Alley at its height in the early 20th century. The first Chinese immigrant to St. Louis was a young man named Alla Lee, who arrived in 1857. He settled in the Irish quarter near Biddle Street and married an Irish woman, Sarah Graham, sealing his acceptance into the Irish community. Lee ran a tea shop, his social standing and connection to the Irish keeping him and his children from the grueling work of a laundry business. ------- Most Chinese immigrant families in America ran laundries, a job that left little time for recreation and relaxation. They serviced mostly European Americans rather than their own communities. When launders finished their work or took a day off, they hurried to Hop Alley to spend time with their fellow countrymen and enjoy an atmosphere like their hometowns. ------- A small city block bordered by Market and Chestnut, St. Louis' Chinatown served as a refuge for Chinese culture. It was also a community center for people frequently harassed and persecuted by racial discrimination. With most of the laundry shops located outside Hop Alley, there were groceries, restaurants, tea shops and everything else Chinese Americans needed inside Hop Alley. As time passed, tea shops and restaurants attracted European Americans who previously disapproved of their Chinese neighbors. ------- The Chinese residents and business owners of Hop Alley introduced their culture to curious St. Louisans. Many Chinese St. Louisans learned English and American traditions at Sunday School. Even well to do Chinese families or those who converted to Christianity or spoke English fluently would return to Hop Alley for celebrations such as Chinese New Year, or weekly gatherings to share traditional home cuisine. ------ Hop Alley was demolished in the 1960s to make way for the second Busch Stadium. By then most Chinese American families had moved further west into the city or the suburbs. Photos remain attesting to the vibrancy of St. Louis' first Chinatown. ------ Here's History is a joint production of the Missouri History Museum and KDHX.

Matt Dulin, the creator of GetRight’s bakery and plant nursery, loves going against the grain for whatever life throws at him. From running his first marathon in rubber sandals, to buying a one way ticket to Hawaii to work on a coffee farm, Matt has lived a life many deem as nonconforming. GetRight’s bakery and plant nursery features Semolina sourdoughs, cookies, baguettes, canneles, croissants, croissants, and a plethora of plants for you to take home and enjoy. My favorite portions of the interview include the introspective and thought-provoking questions he asks of himself, which pushes himself that much closer to perfection; however, in his eyes, he only sees glimpses of perfection. There’s always room for improvement.Enjoy the conversations revolving around his dogs Mochi and Beans, his greenhouse and succulent projects, the interstate biking adventures, “Tour de Compassion”, and the history of how GetRight’s came to be.Check out the shoutouts below!BE SURE TO LEAVE A LIKE, FOLLOW, SUBSCRIBE, 5-STARS, COMMENT, OR WHATEVER IN YOUR PODCAST LISTENING SERVICE!

Honestly, the feeling after a 450 cover brunch including some family on a Sunday watching my really good friends (fellow line cooks) fry a 3 ft breakfast chimichanga for my family was the sense of comradery and love you come to feel in the kitchen. Food and/or drinks staples in your house? Tomago no gohan, a simple Japanese rice dish I never get sick of. Tequila. Marquis Theater pizza Two things most people don't know about you? I graduated from a high school with only 50 students in the whole high school Words to live by? Respect the old search for the new Growing up on farms , going to rodeos, raising Pigs and cattle. Mixed with paintballing and playing sports helped grow my appreciation for everything involved in the food service industry. Discipline, and comradery from athletics. Appreciation for produce and animals. My first instances cooking included family gatherings, Thanksgiving, Christmas, weekends breakfasts. I learned to love making my family happy with food. After high school, I got a job in property preservation, (electrical, plumbing, carpentry, landscaping) reselling foreclosed homes for the bank. I attended Johnson and whales very briefly until I got a job at vesta dipping grill and realized I'd learn more there than school. After leaving Vesta i followed Matt Selby to central bistro.

Brandon Hintz is owner of Hop Alley Brewpub in Alpharetta, GA and Currahee Brewing in Franklin, NC.  Hop Alley was one of the first to break into the now growing Alpharetta craft beer scene back in 2013 and Brandon added Currahee to his arsenal in 2016. Along with head brewer Taylor Yates, he has grown the North Carolina brewery, and is now distributing in Georgia. And if that's not all, Hop Alley was one of the first brewpubs in the Alpharetta area. We talk to Brandon about his homebrewing background, his reasoning behind opening up a brewpub, and why he had to open Currahee in North Carolina instead of Georgia. 

Two months ago, we capped off our first season with an episode about the hot new restaurant Hop Alley and its namesake, Denver's old Chinatown. For this bonus episode, we invited food journalist Laura Shunk to help us do a proper review of the restaurant. Of course, we put the Changing Denver spin on it, so it's a little different from what you might expect.  - The rave reviews of Hop Alley keep pouring in. 5280 just named it the best restaurant in Denver on its annual list of the top 25! - Our theme song is "Minnow" by Felix Fast4ward. - Sign up for our newsletter at www.changingdenver.com/about Follow us on Twitter @ChangingDenver And here's a thought: If you like this episode, tell us why in a review on iTunes. Thanks for listening!  

In this installment of Changing Denver Bit By Bit, we feature an interview Paul did with CU Boulder history professor William Wei for KGNU. It's all about Wei's new book "Asians in Colorado," and excerpts of it were featured on our recent season finale, on Hop Alley. The interview touches on Denver's old Chinatown, but also explores how the discrimination facing Asians in Colorado morphed from Sinophobia into Japanophobia in the 20th Century. Yes, that means there is discussion of Japanese internment in concentration camps, as Wei calls them, as well as former governor Ralph Carr. - Follow us on Twitter at @ChangingDenver.

On this episode of Changing Denver – the finale of season 1! – we figure out the connection between Denver’s old Chinatown and a new Chinese restaurant in River North. It turns out they have more in common than the name Hop Alley. - We are taking a couple months off after this episode to give some ongoing projects the time they deserve. All complaints about this will be interpreted as expressions of grief, so bring 'em on! You can also tell us how you feel in a review on iTunes. Just make sure all profanity-laced tirades are preceded by five gold stars. Thanks to everyone who made this first season happen. All the support and love has been so important. See you in season 2! - You can learn more about William Wei’s new book, Asians in Colorado: A History of Persecution and Perseverance in the Centennial State, here. CU Denver professor of History Tom Noel’s home page, including a full list of his Colorado-related publications, can be found here. You can read Jarod Ballentine’s review of Hop Alley here (he gave it a 7.5 out of 10), and find more of his reviews at The Infatuation.

  Scott Phillips stopped by last year to talk about his novel Rake, in which an amoral American soap opera actor becomes a star on French television and attempts to make a movie while dealing the shadiest sides of the Parisian wealthy. His new western novel, Hop Alley, sees the return of Bill Ogden, who was introduced in the novel Cottonwood. Ogden is a good-natured sociopath who skates through life with little thought to consequences in the American Wild West.
